Filmmaker Behind New "2012" Disaster Movie Scrapped Scene Showing Destruction of the Kaaba in Mecca Because He Feared a Death Fatwa...So He Destroyed Rio's "Christ the Redeemer" Statue Instead....
Roland Emmerich has admitted that he feared a fatwa would be placed on him if he filmed a scrapped scene for 2012.
The filmmaker is well known for decimating famed landmarks on movies including The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day. He stated that while he decided to destroy the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro because he is "against organised religion", he was fearful of the Islamic religious decree for a sequence that was planned but not shot.
The 53-year-old wanted to demolish the Kaaba, which is a cube-shaped building at the heart of Mecca and is the centre of prayers and the Islamic Hajj pilgrimage.
He told Sci-Fi Wire: "Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit. 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."
Religion of peace....

I don't see the big deal with having that scene in there anyhow. It's not like the movie theater is going to gasp an "Oh no!" when it crumbled. Better to leave it out and cut the movie time down or save the space for better footage.

Ya know this is quite interesting. Apparently, if one does anything which somehow creates confugilty within the Islamic religious concept one is branded and threatened or even worse executed. This perhaps might explain why the so called "good Muslims" never ever criticise their religious precepts or the radicals within its movement. Nor do they question any acts taken in the name of Islam. On one hand they profess not to be like them and on the other their silence represents affirmation. This being the case it raises serious doubts that such a religious precept which contains within it a secular component can ever assimilate into western society.

So the coward decides to destroy a Christian symbol instead... He hates religion, but he only has the guts to symbolically attack religions for which there's no risk of consequences. I suspect this kind of thing happens all the time, but the person doing it rarely admits their own cowardly change of heart.

Okay.
A gentile...is liable for the death penalty...if he has invented a religious holiday for himself...The general principle is we do not allow them to make new religious rituals and to make 'mitzvahs' for themselves by their own devices. Rather they may either become a Ger Tzeddek and accept all the Mitvahs; or he (the Noahide) should stand fast in his Torah (the seven Noahide Laws) without adding or diminishing...and if he does make some new 'mitzvah,' we lash him, punish him, and inform him that he is obligated with the death penalty for this..." (Rambam Mishne Torah—Hilchos Melachim 10:9)

Islam is into subjugation, by any means necessary, not "integration".
There can be no place in secular, liberal Western society for the precepts of Islam.
It's going to come down to Them, or Us.
We need a new Charles Martel, and a new Jan Sobieski.

Emmerich owns homes in Los Angeles, Manhattan, London, and Stuttgart.[9][31][36][37][38] Emmerich likes to decorate his homes in a self-described "outlandish" manner,[38] adorning them with rare Hollywood memorabilia, murals and portraits of dictators and Communist figures, and World War II-era relics.[9][37]
Emmerich's extensive collection of artwork includes a painting of Jesus Christ wearing a Katharine Hamnett-styled t-shirt during his crucifixion,[38] prints of Alison Jackson's works of a Princess Diana lookalike making obscene gestures and engaging in sex acts,
[36][39] a wax sculpture of Pope John Paul II laughing as he reads his own obituary,[36][39] and a Photoshopped image of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a homoerotic pose.[38]
Emmerich, who is openly gay[7] and an active liberal,[40] states that the decorations and pieces aren't declarations of any beliefs,[38] but rather reflections of his "predilection for art with a political edge".[39]
Who gives a fuck anyway, what do you do Math, spend all day searching for any and all articles that portray Islam in a bad light, regardless of what kind of FREAK the statement or article comes from?
I guess the "enemy of my enemy" is a slogan that you Jews follow as well.
You're in great company here.

Obviously he didn't want to be shot several times and someone putting a butcher knife in his heart and laying dead like filmmaker Theo Van Gogh in the Netherlands.

Glad you brought up Van Gogh...yesterday was the 5th anniversary of his brutal death by a Muslim....his crime? Insulting Muhammad

I kinda like Islam for that...what gives this sick fag any right to run around pissing everyone of anyway?
Fuck with the bull, get the horns, it makes sense to me.
The fact that he was too afraid to fuck with them tells me that the Islamics will be around long after the Christians and Jews have sold their souls to whatever bullshit socialist agenda presents itself.
I respect a strong people that stick together and demand that respect, good for them.

what other religious things are destroyed in the film?
has anyone seen it yet
i'm not trying to start an arguement here
its just that the film is made in a country thats predominatly christian so i guess there would be a higher tolerance to christian icons being destroyed.
plus they would be more well known
besides, how many people would recognise the kaaba.

Don't be fooled by this fool, he's a Jew, not a Christian, and he is only on this site to propagandize against Muslims.
Look at his posts, he doesn't care about Christian issues, he's here to post bad things about Muslims and to jump in and defend the Jews, this is all he does, all he cares about.
