The ultimate battle between good and evil? Hardly

New Line Cinema who brought us epics like Gone with the With (10 Oscars in 1940!) and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (11 Oscars 2 years ago) and the recent (why?) Snakes on a Plane is planning on a movie called God, the devil and Lucy.

It's the story about God and the devil who got tired of the fight and decided to have a final battle to claim all the souls - they will become human beings without their powers and whoever to get a girl (Lucy) to say I love you first will win.

There is no news yet on who will be casted. You can poke so many holes in the story even before we get the details. It's a traversy to say the least.

Da Vinci Code

Jesus is the rock of our salvation. If we build our house on this rock, it will not be shaken.

It is disheartening to see the closure of Sarawak Tribune over the offensive caricatures issue and it is even more disheartening to see last Friday's demonstration against Denmark. However, the only silver lining in the gloomy clouds is the fact that our Malaysian protestors are still able to maintain decorum, control their tempers and avoid any untoward incidents. Kudos to our Muslim friends.

If one could recall the book entitled Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, one would agree that the contents of the book is extremely damning to the entire Catholics faith. But do we see the Vatican coming up in arms against Dan Brown? No. In fact, riding on the popularity of Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown has been able to make his earlier books such as Angel & Demon, Digital Fortress and Total Deception instant million dollars bestsellers. Basking in fame, Dan Brown is certainly luckier than people like Salman Rushdie who had to flee for his life following the Ayatollah Khomeni's demand for his head for his book, Satanic Verses.

Personally, I believe if our faith is anchored upon the solid rock, the likes of Dan Brown and Salman Rushdie can ever shake it, let alone eliminate it. As a Christian, I do not condone the act of degrading other religions. However, all parties need to show certain degree of maturity and not further jeopardise the situation.

Those deplorable cartoons certainly portrayed Islam in a very bad light by linking the religion to terrorism and violence. However, we must remember that by reacting violently out of anger, the supposing falsehood of those cartoons has been affirmed.

Just cartoons

Qu called me and asked me about the cartoons. I didn't know what they were until I did a little digging.

You can find them in this blog, in all their glory.

This is the beginning of the post.

4000 terror attacks after 9/11, the world was still slumbering. But 12 innocent satirical drawings in a Danish newspaper, the kind of cartoons printed daily by the thousands in newspapers all over the world, have changed the geopolitical situation.

Tell me what you think.
