Hollywood To Churn Out Major Pro-Islamofascist Propaganda Films
By Kevin Connors on Home Front
This is really enough to make a person wretch:

Buried inside a July 1 New York Times story about Hollywood's boyish new sex symbols (Toby Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, et al.) is the revelation of something much more interesting. Hollywood is suddenly making big-budget epics about the subjugation of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf by the white-skinned peoples of the West. Is this, um, really a good idea?

According to the Times, Ridley Scott is preparing a movie about the Crusades starring Orlando Bloom, while Baz Luhrmann and Oliver Stone are each hard at work on movies about Alexander the Great, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Colin Farrell, respectively. In apparent deference to modern sensibilities (not to mention the hair-trigger propensity toward violence in many Islamic countries) the films will undermine the shopworn theme of the White Man's Burden. A new Hollywood genre struggles to be born: the 9/11 Apology Flick.
