Animated Muhammad Film to Promote Tolerance
Fine Media Group ^

Posted on 10/08/2004 2:53:25 PM PDT by 4.1O dana super trac pak

OTTOWA -- A full-length animated film about the early life of the Prophet Muhammad is being released in North America to help fight anti-Muslim prejudice.

Muhammad: The Last Prophet will be screened in 37 cities, including Toronto, London, Ont. and Windsor, Ont., for one week starting Nov. 14.

The screenings coincide with Eid ul-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the Islamic fast of Ramadan.

Rabiah Ahmed, spokeswoman for the Council on American Islamic Relations, which is sponsoring the screenings, said studies have shown prejudice decreases when people get accurate information about Islam. She said the film is timed so that Muslim families can celebrate Eid with a film, and also to spread awareness about Islam to the non-Muslim community.

Golly gee, Canada... thanks so much.

Why not play all the decapitation videos so people know what Islam is truly about. Islam is a death cult. Wake up America!

Right. The person's attitude goes from ignorant prejudice to informed vigilance.

When does it cover the Quran's support for murder, oppression, discrimination, slavery, and terrorism?

When Camel used a cartoon character to promote teen smoking the libs were up in arms. Where are they now?

Should this film be released in the Middle East to help combat the religious intolerence there?

Oh, sorry, the moslems over there would kill you for it, wouldn't they?

How nice. I love how the little children will shout for joy when the main character decapitates Fuzzy the Bunny for being a heretic.

This is hillarious. Isn't it blasphemy to depict Mohammed? I wonder if the film makers know what they're getting into?

Copy, paste, email or print and distribute:


Prophet of Doom - Islam’s Terrorist Dogma, In Muhammad’s Own Words


Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible stories.
Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money.
He was a terrorist.

And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence at www.prophetofdoom.net.

The problem is, we don't need to be educated about Islam... We're NOT the problem here...

If they want to make a film, they need to aim it at Islamic fundamentalists to teach them why barbarism is not a part of their religion....
