Easily recognizable land marks.
The sign of the Cross is because there is no visual for the viewer to know that people are praying.
And finally its just a movie.

Birth of A Nation was just a movie.
The Eternal Jew was just a movie.

And a bad one, to boot. Why, even the Kansas City (Falling) Star had a blurb that said basically that you end up rooting for the apocalypse over the characters. That coming from a paper that never met a liberal person or idea it wouldn't endorse.

Of course the film omits any "easily recognizable Muslim land marks" because of the filmmakers's abject cowardice. That makes it a fundamentally dishonest document. An eight-figure advertising budget that brings the trailer into television sets all over the world makes it an overt political statement, far more than "just a movie."

I think this picture would have accomplished the same effect.

or even this photo ...

And finally its just a movie.

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