The stupid movie

People have asked me about this movie which is causing outrage, uproar and the death of humans.

I am looking at this with unbelief. Why can't people ignore it?

It turns out, they did.

The terribly made and hugely pathetic "movie" depicting a man supposed to represent the Islamic Muhammad has been around for some time and was ignored. Until a fundamentalist Arab TV-station, Al-Nas, promoted it along with the US zealot Terry Jones.

Only this was sufficient to give it increased visibility and stir up the emotions which are so easily stirred amongst the easily influenced Muslims. So we have fundamentalist Muslims using a movie, made in the US with backing from different countries, to incite violence and aggression. And it seems they knew what they were doing and have managed to incite riots and protests.

What these brainwashed and misguided rioters, killers and bigots don't understand and are forever unable to comprehend is that the USA don't make videos or movies and don't instruct others to do so. Also, the USA can't stop individuals making movies, unless they violate clearly defined laws.

But some of these blind followers will simply associate the country they hate so much and at the same time are so in awe of with a movie and attack all symbols of that country, where the popular flag burning is a process never to be missed. They could engage in a factual rebuttal, but I suppose that would require too much thinking, which is discouraged in many Muslim majority states.

So we'll just have to live with the increasing militarisation of Muslim majority countries and wait for someone to get a little bit too emotional and push the button. After all, religious nutters don't really care whether they die and get to pick up their rewards on the way out, it's people like me who do.

But then I don't try to implement a 7th century culture in a 21st century civilisation.
