And these were the same people who scoffed at people who didn't want their children exposed to Harry Potter witchcraft.

Exellent point! Somehow, children can see Harry Potter despite its depiction of "witchcraft" but C.S.Lewis' children's books are racist and "Islam-like?" Talk about totally lying about literature.
I will say to them the same thing they tell us when we don't like films that glorify sex and violence...Don't see it then.
But, their real fear is that they know that these films will be box office hits and perhaps C.S. Lewis' works will reach more people just as Tolkien's did. People who live in the dark cannot stand the "light"...and they fear the uplifting themes of Narnia will spread.

Okay so it isn't just me. That's something I haven't understood. I recall a fair amount of sorcery and the like in the Narnia series . . .
