Come on people. This is starting to look like the Muslims foaming at the mouth over a cartoon. It's a book and a movie.

It is a book, but it slanders real people and religious beliefs. Its intention is to have people question Christianity and put Christianity in a bad light. It represents itselve as being based on historical fact, with the exception of the fictious characters and their story. No one is rioting and no one has placed $1 million price tag on the head of the author.

We still have freedom of speech right?

That is what we are excersing. Or is just the author that owns that freedom?

We are probably in agreement, Always. But let me just clarify my point --

The title of this post is "We must stop the Da Vinci Code" -

Presumably that means the author wants to prevent it from being shown or prevent people from watching it. Right? I disagree. Criticize all you want. Exercise your freedom of speech. And let other people exercise their freedoms.

But he has been hauled into court - unsuccessfully - and he has had to build a protective fence around his home - against un-Christian "Christians"
