PC dream "The Crusades are hot, and [British director Sir] Ridley Scott ... is about to make them hotter. 'Muslims,' gushed the New York Times after an advance showing of the new blockbuster ['Kingdom of Heaven'], 'are portrayed as bent on coexistence until Christian extremists ruin everything.' ... "Bent on coexistence, eh? That's right: the 'Kingdom of Heaven' script invents a group called the 'Brotherhood of Muslims, Jews and Christians.' A publicist for the film elaborated: 'They were working together. It was a strong bond until the Knights Templar caused friction between them.' Ah yes, everything was all right until those 'Christian extremists' spoiled everything. " 'Kingdom of Heaven' is designed to be a dream movie for those guilt-ridden creatures who believe that all the trouble between the Islamic world and the West has been caused by Western imperialism, racism, and colonialism, and that the glorious paradigm of Islamic tolerance, which was once a beacon to the world, could be re-established if only the nasty white men of America and Europe would back off. A dream movie for the PC establishment, except for one little detail: it isn't true." — Robert Spencer, "Crusading Against History," May 3 in Front Page at www.frontpagemag.com
