Hollywood Discovers Sharia Law is Bad
Townhall.com ^ | May 9, 2014 | Katie Pavlich

Good news everybody, the folks over in Hollywood have finally realized the horrors of Sharia law. More from the Wall Street Journal:

The pink stucco palace known as the Beverly Hills Hotel has long been a symbol of Hollywood glamour and affluence, the place where Elizabeth Taylor decamped for six of her eight honeymoons. Now it's become the unlikely epicenter of protest against a new set of harsh laws enacted by the Islamic country of Brunei.

The opulent hotel is part of the Dorchester Collection, a luxury chain owned by the Sultan of Brunei. This week, the tiny, oil-rich southeast Asian country set off a storm of celebrity protests and boycotts by introducing Islamic laws that include death by stoning for homosexuals and adulterers.

Over the past several days, 20 events have been canceled at the Beverly Hills property--a loss of about $2 million in revenue for the hotel, according to Dorchester. Local politicians and celebrities are also boycotting the nearby Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles, the hotel's more subdued sister property.

Big names like Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres are urging boycotts, and the Beverly Hills mayor and council are calling for Dorchester to sell the famed hotel.

Congratulations Hollywood on finally understanding that radical Islam calls for the stoning women and murder of gays. Where have you been for the past 50 years? I won't hold my breathe waiting for the left to call their Hollywood friends "Islamaphobic," that term is typically reserved for conservatives who warn about radical Islam. Further, I won't bother hoping Hollywood liberals will reject the Obama administration's tolerance of the Iranian regime or the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (hint: both believe homosexuality should be punished by death and gays being publicly hanged is a regular occurrence in Iran).

Isn’t now the time to be asking them why they won’t make movies showing the truth about the Muslim world, and culture, and showing the Muslims as terrorists and the bad guys especially since we have been at war with them since the worst sneak attack in American history?

They just now discovered that water is wet. Well, whoopie! Most likely it’s all because of their pet cause de jour; that being Gay Rights is affected. It’s a beginning. There is no place for Sharia in America. Some folks do have to be told what is right and what is not right. They never learned as children, or have lost all confidence in their own opinions.

That’s because it AFFECTS THEM. If it affects the riff-raff, why they’d be in bed with them!

They actually believe they are the best and the brightest, instead of the maximum morons they all are.

Oh, this is going to be so hard for Hollywood. The people who support the death penalty for adultery and homesexuality are the same as the people who:

Kidnapped the Nigerian girls
Killed Americans at Benghazi
Flew the planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11.

Further, these people are the same as the Muslim Brotherhood, which has had the support of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Hollywood is going to have a tough time connecting the dots, but come on Hollywood, think hard, you can do it!

It’s years past that time. Hollywood isn’t known for having a high IQ requirement.

What is it, about 15 movies about our war against Muslims, and either none, or one, reflecting a patriotic pro-American view?

It is like the Vietnam war movies, almost none of them portrayed us as heroes and good guys, fighting bad guys.

Sorry. Just posting as they come to mind. Even as far back as “Tears of the Sun,” Hollywood was making some decent movies that were less than complimentary to Muzzzies, even if the fact that the antagonists were Muzzy wasn’t trumpeted. I haven’t seen “Blood Diamond,” but it may qualify. I buy CDs at the pawn shop, so I don’t support Big Hollywood.

At the risk of yet another post, I’d recommend ‘The Kingdom” if you enjoy shoot-’em-’ups. Best rolling gunfight since “Heat.”
