(if any read the news..)And it's not only the Islamic Monuments are in danger, christian's one too as Archbishop Atallah Hanna stated.The westerns mocked our Prophet already who is to me holier than a holy building or a holy city, to me, seeing jerusalem destroyed in a movie won't make a difference to me, i see Palestinian people in jerusalem evacuated from their homes every day.. if their homes are not demolished ..

And it’s not only the Islamic Monuments are in danger, christian’s one too as Archbishop Atallah Hanna stated.

Its collapse signifies how ephemeral our world is including it I find the question quite irrelevant:) and actually very badly phrased, I mean is Jerusalem a monument?:D

what about a buddist temple? a synagoge?

At the end a disaster is not portrayed by bldgs but by the loss that the people are facing, if the movie will try to portray a balanced view and show all bldgs collapsing that have a lot of value to people from all backgrounds, it will be a documentary of bldgs falling down,lol!

you can even analyse tom & jerry politically

Jerry = Israel

Tom = Arabs

Spike the bulldog = US the protector of Israel who always beat Tom

just try to think of what i said above next time you watch a tom & jerry series..

okay, you don’t have to think this way if you want to.. but eventually financial crisis caused wars in the past, economics and politics cannot be separated, politics and media cannot be separated, tell me yes or no momken 3am babalegh, but having an Islamic monument like Alqsa Mosque destroyed in a movie will make it ‘not an impossible thing to happen’ to those who watch the movies, including us, Muslims.. which can in turn reduce the rage of the public when it actually happens..
