You > Note: this alleged event also took place well before there was a *Christian* religion.
Muslims were consulted, I presume, because the Moses story shows up in the Koran.

I note that you gave concession to the Muslims and their Koran (the Moses story shows up in the Koran), but none to the Christian religion and their Bible.
The Christian Bible contains the Old and New Testament inclusive of the Pentateuch and the Moses story - which you apparently think has nothing to do with Christianity. From beginning to end, in the New Testament the story of Moses is assumed everywhere.
True Christians believe the Old and New Testaments - we're not talking about the religious left here - they believe the story of Moses as devoutly as do the Jews.
So, yes, the makers of this movie have good reason to include Christian opinion. And not just Muslim opinion as you seem to think.
> I note that you gave concession to the Muslims and their Koran (the Moses story shows up in the Koran), but none to the Christian religion and their Bible.
Yes, and? Nobody is questioning the relevance of the Moses story to Christians. Some seemed to be questioning the relevance of it to Muslims.
Had the film makers consulted with Hindu religious leaders, *that* would be a head-scratcher.

And you leap to this interesting conclusion... how?

And how do you come to the conclusion that I think only Mulsims are right to consult on this? I'm frankly curious as to the thought process that led you to that astonishing conclusion.
