@AbrahamWashin10 there's no blame assigned to specific pols and the movie goes out of its way to distinguish between Islam and terrorism...

...with 'clarity.' "Turn X coordinates into a smoking crater" is so clear it's MATH. What the "you MUST call it Radical ISLAM!!!" crowd...

...which would be adorable if it wasn't so transparent. Conservative hunger for naming *radical Islam," specifically, has nothing to do...

I mean, obviously 90% of the show would be "LOL Cartman said something awful about Islam but it's ok because we know he's bad!"...

.@Kheapathic You think a white dude in SC pulls a gun in a black church because Islam?

.@DwarfishTaco But when, also in the US/Europe, you take similar swipes at Islam (or Judaism, or Buddhism, or w/e) which are NOT powerful...

@joetuffguy @ec_maxi ...will inflate the ebook sales for a good debut. Breitbart will turn to focus on Batman "selling out to Islam" :)

@LukeWGraham So, the character's name effectively means "no Islam."

This would be like if Henry Cavill went on Leno and said "Heh. Y'think it'd be a big deal if Superman converted to Islam?"

If anti-gay Christians believe Marriage was designed by their God, where did religions pre-dating Christianity/Judaism/Islam GET IT FROM?

...since Hercules can only be taking place between the 8th and 6th Century BC, and Islam didn't arise until the AD era... (2/3)

@VolvoCrusher I don't even know that Aladdin counts, as "Arabian Nights" stories are generally based on MidEast myths pre-dating Islam
