Why I Won't See "2012"

I wasn't surprised to see the trailer of Hollywood disaster flick "2012", blowing up Christian landmarks (St. Peter's Basilica and the Christ the Reedemer Statue in Rio). There's no leftist fantasy greater than destroying religion, especially Christianity.

However, a recent interview shows that director Roland Emmerich was too scared to blow up any Islamic sites.

scifiwire - In 2012, he takes on landmarks in Rome, Rio de Janeiro and, yes, Washington, but there is one place even he couldn't bring himself to obliterate. We caught up with Emmerich in Jackson Hole, Wyo., where he told us why he chose various landmarks to lay waste in 2012, and about the one that got away.

Why? ..."Because I'm against organized religion," Emmerich says."

But.....

But Emmerich was thinking of something even more explosive: the Kaaba, the cube-shaped building at the heart of Mecca, the focus of prayers and the Islamic pilgrimage called the Hajj; it is one of Islam's holiest sites.

Really?

"Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit," Emmerich says. "But my co-writer Harald said I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie. And he was right. ... We have to all ... in the Western world ... think about this. You can actually ... let ... Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa, and that sounds a little bit like what the state of this world is. So it's just something which I kind of didn't [think] was [an] important element, anyway, in the film, so I kind of left it out."

Why? Islam is a religion of peace. We all know it. Make your movie how you want it to be made.
