Christians Offer $25,000 Bounty For Head Of Dan Brown

I guess attacking Christianity and more specifically, attacking Catholicism, is an accepted prejudice.

It most definitely is. Christians cannot be offended, only non-believers or
other faiths can be. Hence you see no offensive remarks made about
Muslims or devil worshipers. Muslim-ism is even taught in our schools. Go
figure. PC taken to the Nth.

Archbishop Stanislaus Fernandes, secretary general of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, said the fictional work "belittles what is at the heart of Christian faith and cherished in Christian life", in a statement objecting to the release of the movie.

"Every individual has a right to his religious beliefs and to enjoy the respect to them from the followers of other religions," said the bishops' conference in an 11 May statement.

Oh, the irony...

Seriously, why should Catholics be upset about this movie? It is giving them free publicity all over the world, probably reaching 10 times the audience that a speech from the Pope would.

Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

Twisting what? Given Christ never wrote a word, all you know about Christ is through his disciple and through the followers of his disciples.

Sure, having a movie that portrays Catholics as plotting murderous monks is great publicity.

Pakistan has banned The Da Vinci Code, which has been the subject of protests from members of Pakistan's small Christian community.

Culture Minister Ghulam Jamal said the film was blasphemous.

The screen adaptation of Dan Brown's book revolves around the theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and their descendants survive today.

Unity in religious intolerance between Muslims and Christians? Who would have thought?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a pecking order in Islam for dealing with "infidels?" By that, I mean, won't a Muslim nation protect its Christian and Jewish dhimmis from attack and calumny by "pagans" and "polytheists?" Isn't that part of the "People of the Book" doctrine?
