"It turned out that the story was wrong; Newsweek retracted it. And the rioting may have been a previously planned anti-American demonstration that had nothing to do with Newsweek."
Revisionism is alive and well!

In the film, the U.S. State Department, which wants the Muslim world to like us, is determined to find out what makes Muslims laugh.
3000 blown up at the WTC seemed to make them laugh!

In the 1970's almost every movie had buffoons wrapped in sheets acting like Ali-G.

And "Christian" is downright evil!

The rioting MAY have been previously planned, but the deaths were a direct result of the Newsweek article.

"what makes Muslims laugh"?
Butchering schoolchildren? Beheading teachers of children?

Brooks says he wanted to make this movie because after September 11th, he felt, Americans hated even the word "Muslim." Brooks says he wanted to make this movie because after Auschwitz, he felt, Jews hated even the word "Nazi."

Maybe they could have called the movie: "Muslim Men Can't Laugh."

"And the rioting may have been a previously planned anti-American demonstration that had nothing to do with Newsweek." And Stalin may not have killed 80 million in the USSR, it was probably just a mass-suicide.

I like Albert Brooks and this is just his sort of movie. I'll be interested to hear more about it.

Then why is it that every movie about terrorism Hollywood produces ends up with white guys as the terrorists.

Albert Brooks has always been one of my favorite actor/directors, "Defending Your Life" is in my Top 5.

Why were the bad guys in The Sum of All Fears changed from Muslims to White Supremists? Because Muslims actually want to nuke Denver.

Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World He probably didn't have to look very hard. Those Muslims are a wacky, zany, fun loving group.
