Movies influence people through visual statements. Emmerich is a a coward as are the people who support his films.

Great graphics.

I hate to knock any place of worship, but I can’t resist this joke...
If that is the Greater 1st Baptist, what’s the Lesser 1st Baptist, a toolshed?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Several major Catholic buildings, statues etc destroyed...
No, nein, neit, zero, zilch Moslem buildings, statues, etc desytoyed...
Now why would you ask that ???
Actually, in the movie “2011”, all the moslem holey places were destroyed...
Why there was a big holey for hundreds of miles where Mecca had been...
In “2012”, the remain 2 Moslems prayed bowing to a picture of the holey dust...
There isn’t a movie made today that isn’t rife with political correctness and pop-culture vanity. I’ll pass - on all of them.
It just showed a lot of people praying, no destruction.
From what I understand the director hates all religions but for safety reason (his own I presume) did not show the destruction of any Islamic sites.
0:31 second into the trailer they show people praying in Mecca.
He and his family should have been kidnapped by Islamofacists and forced to live under Sharia Law. Then after enough time had elapsed for him to experience a fully rounded 'education', the United States Military along with Nuns from Catholic Charities should rescue him and his family.
'Developing Perspective'!!! It's not just a job. It's an adventure!!
I, being a non diversified American would call them Collaborators!
'THE DUCK I Says'
“Emmerich reveals fear of fatwa axed 2012 scene,” by Ben Child in the Guardian, November 3 (thanks to all who sent this in):
He blew up the Empire State Building and the White House in Independence Day, sent a giant monster careering through the heart of Manhattan in Godzilla and destroyed the famous Hollywood sign in The Day After Tomorrow. But it seems there are places even Roland Emmerich will not go - the German film-maker has revealed he abandoned plans to obliterate Islam’s holiest site on the big screen for fear of attracting a fatwa.
For his latest disaster movie, 2012, the 53-year-old director had wanted to demolish the Kaaba, the iconic cube-shaped structure in the Grand Mosque in Mecca that Muslims the world over turn towards every day when they pray and which they circle seven times during the hajj pilgrimage....
“I wanted to do that, I have to admit,” Emmerich told scifiwire.com. “But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie. And he was right.
“We have to all, in the western world, think about this. You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa, and that sounds a little bit like what the state of this world is.
“So it’s just something which I kind of didn’t [think] was [an] important element, anyway, in the film, so I kind of left it out.”
“Arab” is not the point. “Muslim” is. Here the original link. “Emmerich reveals fear of fatwa axed 2012 scene” Roland Emmerich, the director had wanted to depict the destruction of Islam’s holiest site, but was persuaded not to. http://scifiwire.com/2009/11/5-best-things-2012s-direc.php
So, which part of the Magisterium supports interpreting "Thou shalt not steal" to read "Thou shalt steal"?
It doesn’t. Stealing is wrong. I do wrong things all the time, for which I must pay. Please don’t blame the Church for my refusal to behave as a good Christian.
“I for one welcome our new ant overlords.”
Does this mean that Danny Glover is finally dead???
