The Pope has again risked provoking the wrath of the Islamic world, by criticising its treatment of Christians.

Benedict XVI attacked Muslim nations where Christians are either persecuted or given the status of second-class citizens under the Shariah Islamic law.

He also defended the rights of Muslims to convert to Christianity, an act which warrants the death penalty in many Islamic countries.

After a less than stellar debut last weekend Paul Haggis's defamation of our troops disguised as a prententious, dull, anti-war tract is now officially a flop:

"In the Valley of Elah (Warner Independent) expanded with less success. The Iraq War-themed drama managed only $270,000 Friday at its 317 locations for a PTA [per theatre average] of only $850. Elah appears to be headed for just under $900,000 for the weekend for a 3-day PTA of just $2,811.

In comparison, Into The Wild's PTA was $46,000, The Assassination of Jesse James, $26,000, and The Jane Austen Book Club, $5,500.

Elah had been projected to do upwards of $2.5 million by people who don't live in the real world and think there's an audience for portraying our best, brightest, and most heroic as sadistic monsters.

I have cut open Elah and am now victory-dancing in her putrid guts. Please join me and hope this is just the beginning of a lovely trend for similarly-themed, multi-million dollar propaganda films for al-Queda.
