Some islamic fundamentalists will nitpick on some detail and threaten the movie director.
Some islamophobes will say it pays a liberal-biased rosy picture of Muhammad and Islam.

In the end, not much will change.

Now that is a really inspired suggestion. They could give it the title 'Much Ado About Nothing Revisited'

If they wanted to offend 1,500,000,000 people perhaps they could name the movie the last temptation of Mohammad? Of coure, there is a significant difference as to which 1,5,000,000,000 people you offend I suppose. Its all about political correctness and survival.

To be honest, I find such media as repulsive. Why would you purposefully do such a thing unless it was done in hate? I don't hate Muslims, rather, I simply wish to speak the truth even if that truth "offends" them.

So here is the truth. Muslims "claim" that there is no difference between Christ and Mohammad yet they get infuriated when Mohammad is slighted in the least or if his image is created. However, it is not the same standard with Christ. People can blaspheme all day the name of Christ and produce his image and submerge it in a vial of urine and not one peep comes from the Islamic world even though they claim that Chirst and Mohammad are equals. Lets be honest and say that Mohammad is their god in that he is the final word of God and is worshiped to the point that they cannot replicate his image just as the command not to replicate the image of the Almighty was made in the Torah.

are all the supporting actors going to be talking back-and-forth with an invisible, off-screen prophet?
They will more than likely do it like Ben Hur.It was about Christ but differnt story lines went through it and when they portrayed Christ in it you could not see his face.

Salman Rushdie should be on set as some sort of advisor. That should go over well.

YUSUFALI [version of Quran 002.136]: Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

Will we at least be able to hear the Prophet's voice ? I've been told he sounded like Mr. Rogers.

GRANNY.

I have talked to a few that claim that claim that both Mohammad and Christ are equals. Both are considered to be prophets of God. What other choice do they have unless they were to deify Mohammad? However, the difference is that the teachings of Jesus are seen in the Bible to have been "corrupted". You then defer to what Mohammad says are the "true" teachings of Jesus rather than what the Bible says. As a result, you create a cult like following of Mohammad and what he says are the true teachings of Jesus as well as every other prophet of God that came before him as though he were a diety. The odd thing is, is that ONLY Christians consider Christ to be a diety, yet it is the Muslim who acts as if Mohammad were a diety.
