I'm REALLY suspicious that this report comes from a newspaper in a Muslim nation at war with India. I'm pretty certain it amounts to an attempt to show its gullible readers what those silly Indians are doing.
This film looks so boring.
As evil as this film may be, I am not sure the Christian thing to do is to starve yourself to death.
I researched this: None of the other sites covering the Catholic Secular Forum make any mention of "people starving themselves to death." I think it's bizarre Jihadist propaganda.
If this report is really true (which seems somewhat questionable), I have no problem with Christians or anyone else starving themselves to death or immolating themselves or whatever. Suicide tends to improve the overall gene pool for those still alive.
I strenuously object when people (i.e., Islamic jihadists) harm other people while suiciding. If they'd just stick to blowing themselves up, I'd consider it a win-win situation.
Starving oneself to death seems like a pretty benign way to go. I suspect that the producers of the Da Vinci Code would agree: It lets the suiciders voice their objections to the movie in a dramatic fashion, and it generates enormous amounts of free publicity for the movie and boosts attendance and profits.
I have no idea what the proper word in that country would be for "fiction," but they clearly don't know how to interpret the word. Get a grip folks.
OTOH, Dan Brown is enjoying massive free publicity - I bet his book has had many, many reprinting's by now although, IMHO, it isn't his best book.
A Catholic group on Tuesday called on Christians to starve themselves to death in protest at the release of the “The Da Vinci Code” at cinemas in India.
