Z, the guests were to proud that they're "saving" Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims amidst the disasters. So you think it's all a sham, the way they're converting people via relief efforts? Tenchusatsu

They were talking about this and the tsunami aftermath on Christian radio... the guests were to proud that they're "saving" Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims amidst the disasters. They have to be northern Christians. S. Christians don't like that kind of diversity. ted

This actually sounds pretty funny. Egyptian movie thrives on anti-Americanism gulf-news.com The latest to tap into the mood is Maalesh Ihna Bi Netbahdel (Alas, We're Being Mistreated), a local movie comedy, satirising the US "war on terror" and its 2003 invasion of Iraq. The film, now playing at local theatres, revolves around Al Qarmouty, an outspoken owner of a coffee shop at the foot of the Giza Pyramids. Al Qarmouty is disappointed when his son fails to obtain a visa to the US. (Both characters are played by comic sensation Ahmad Adam.) So, Al Qarmouty replaces a recently hung poster of US President George W. Bush at his café with an electronically doctored portrait, showing Saddam Hussain shaking hands with him. Al Qarmouty launches a flamboyant anti-US campaign, which a global news TV broadcast and Bush happen to watch. As a result, Al Qarmouty becomes number three on the US most-wanted list after Osama Bin Laden and Saddam. Before hitting the screens, the film lived up to its title. In Syria, the cast crew were arrested while shooting a scene showing a crowd of extras raising huge portraits of Saddam and chanting for him. Ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussain's daughters, now living in Jordan, have reportedly sued the makers of Maalesh Ihna Bi Netbahdel (Alas, We're Being Mistreated) allegedly for distorting their father's image, and demanded the movie be banned. ------------------------------ An anti-American movie, and the Husseins want it banned. Go figure.
