“There is not even any proof that this Alexander even existed

And maybe in Iran the Earth is flat?

I wonder if a Fatwa for Stone will be issued?

[bubman]

Good grief one revisionist against another!!

What do you get?

A pertual vortex of nothingness.

[GOPcapitalist]

Gotta love the mohammedan nutcase reasoning. Nevermind that this movie portrays Alexander as a mentally deranged homosexual hedonist with an Oedipus complex toward his mother...they're upset because they believe that Alexander the Great didn't exist!

From your lips to Allah's ears. May the sacred camel of Tehran leave a pile on Stone's lawn.

[ProudVet77]

May the holey camel leave a sacred recil on his lawn.

Sorry, it's been many years since i heard the phrase.

I doubt it. The Mullahs denounce Iran's pre-Islamic past. Pre-600 A.D. The Kings as well as all Iranians were Zoroastrians, not Muslim.

[Diddle E. Squat]

You'd be ticked, too, if your country had been vanquished by an army of poofters....

[ProudVet77]

May the Holy camel leave a sacred relic on his lawn.

Sorry, this is sad. And I haven't even started the celebration yet!

[freedom44]

Too much whisky already?!? Don't worry i'm about to get started on my Makers Mark.

It all depends on what you mean by proof.

Oak Hay... so what have you got against his innocent lawn???

What, not green enough to suit you??? ;-))

[ProudVet77]

If I started this early I'd be asleep before midnight in London. :)

[Ginifer]

Ahh, those Iranians...upset because they don't like seeing their founders of "civilization" not portrayed properly because of the national pride. I'd say if that's the worst that happens then she should be ok. She hasn't even seen the movie, but already rambling on about what it contains. Frankly she shouldn't waste her money...heard it's gotten thumbs down here.

"There is not even any proof that this Muhammad even existed."

If he'd tried saying that, there's be no proof that he himself had ever existed.
