There will be no Muslim assassin in the film version of Dan Brown’s book, Angels & Demons; director Ron Howard has seen to that. But, of course, he has no problem culturally assassinating Catholicism. And it’s not just Howard who is the hypocrite: co-producer Brian Grazer, and the production studio, Sony, are guilty of giving Muslims a pass while sticking it to Catholics.
After 9/11, NBC toyed with the idea of doing a mini-series on the events of that tragic day. Grazer was to produce the film, but it never materialized due to its controversial nature. More important, Grazer said it was his goal to "humanize" Muslims, specifically denouncing any attempt to "demonize" them. Evidently, it’s just Catholics who are worthy of being demonized: Grazer co-produced "The Da Vinci Code" and now he is co-producing "Angels & Demons."
Last year, with less than four days to go before Sony released a video game, Little- BigPlanet, it recalled every copy before it hit the stores. Why? One of the background songs contained two Arabic expressions found in the Koran, and that was considered a no-no. "We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologize for any offense this may have caused." But there will be no action—immediate or delayed—to rectify the propaganda against Catholicism in "Angels & Demons," and there most certainly will be no apology...
