Those folks in Hollywood aren't stupid.
The story doesn’t say the kaaba isn’t desytroyed...they just didn’t show it get destroyed. I don’t blame them...is filming that worth having some radical animal put a price on your head or your family’s heads? I don’t think so.
Yet, destroying sacred Christian sites is ok because, really, who is afraid of the Amish? Oy.
On the other hand, I don’t think many of us will enjoy the ultimate results of such self-censorship here in the Home of the Brave.
