As "People of the Book", wouldn't Muslims also be offended?
Or do they only trot out that canard when it works to their advantage...
Muslims are NOT people of the book (the Bible).
Well, they might be, but seeing that they deny the Crucifixion and Resurrection (Mohammed seems to have based his account of Jesus' (or Issa's) life on the gnostic 'Gospel of Barnabas', which has Simon of Cyrene not merely carry the Cross, but get crucified in Jesus' place), they'll only get in a snit for the implicit denial of the Ascension--even they think Jesus is coming back.
James Cameron's claims concerning finding an earthly tomb of the prophet Isa and an earthly family constitute apostatsy that contradicts the Koran, and Muslims should soon start reacting to it as such.
It should make Hollywood's commercial ventures very interesting.
Don't think so. They regard Jesus as a prophet, not the Son of God; and they don't believe in the Resurrection. I think they claim Christ wasn't crucified at all.
