William Wilberforce strikes one as one of those rare men of principle who does the right thing because he is convinced the right thing is necessary for the salvation of mankind. He was never a politician which makes his achievement all the more extraordinary. Thanks to his efforts, the West is today a far freer place.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Thanks for the advice.

I have been watching th trailers and can't wait to see it.

The hsitory channel had a special on Thermopylae on Thursday and tied the historic scene well for the average person.

Its RARE when the film industry - and from Canada no less - presents such a telling tale of good versus evil.

The drama should have even more meaning today as the west faces the meance of Islamic invasions.
