...For "2012," Emmerich set his sites on destroying the some biggest landmarks around the world, from Rome to Rio. But there's one place that Emmerich wanted to demolish but didn't: the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure located in the center of Mecca. It's the focus of prayers and the site of the Hajj, the biggest, most important pilgrimage in Islam.
"Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit," the filmmaker told scifiwire.com. "But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said, 'I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie.' And he was right."...

One one POS movie I'll skip...
Skip that and Avatar.
Avatar look just plain God-awful. I’d rather watch Smurf reruns.
Lightening can strike twice—so can meteorites!
The sooner, the better.

He just bought himself a fatwa...might as well have put it in the movie since he publically stated he “wanted to do that.”
Obviously we need a Youtube video to correct his omission
Exactly - what an idiot.
Don’t disturb the planets mental children.
Well, duh. Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. don't murder filmmakers who offend them!
That being said, "2012" looks like a big CGI-driven suckfest that will look good on my HDTV from a $1 redbox rental after a few months.
What a wimp. He could at least have included a giant earthquake in western Pakistan, with a scene showing UBL and AAZ getting skewered by stalactites in their collapsing cave.
Or being eaten by crazed bears.
Even in Islamic eschatology, there will be an end to the Hajj. He could have shown it, as long as he also showed the Mahdi climbing out of his well and taking the conn from Jesus. Either way, it’s a suckup to the muz. All the Mohammed cartoonists are in the witness protection program somewhere. Don’t peace me off, bro! I keel you!
So courageously artistic, those ‘edgy’ Hollywood types who applaud - or even film - whilst a Crucifix is peed upon, but demur from pushing any Muslim ‘envelopes’.
There ya go...
See #14...
here ya go...
