Da 'Da Vinci Code' Illusion

Both from Agape Press

by Bill Fancher

It has been learned that a Muslim provided most of the funding for the making of The Da Vinci Code {I'm sure this won't change anyone's mind however...}, which opens in U.S. theaters today (May 19). That revelation has added to the anger of some religious leaders who have criticized the movie for its anti-Christian content.

Rob Schenck of the National Clergy Council was surprised when he was informed that a Muslim's financial support made the film possible. "It is enormously disappointing to know that a Muslim is behind the funding of this film," says Schenck.

According to the Christian activist, this demonstrates the double-standard by which Islam operates. "Islamic leaders would never tolerate in any form a Christian attack on Islam," {Remember the Danish cartoons? !!} he says, "and yet here we have a report now of Muslim financial backing for what is nothing more than a scurrilous attack on the faith of Christians." {This is because they fear Christianity....they know, this is one religion, through LOVE that can change the world.}

Schenck says studio producing the movie owes American an explanation. "Sony Pictures owes it to the public to come forward with that information and [explain{nation}] why they would accept a Muslim attack against Christianity when I am sure they would never do it the other way around," he says.

According to Internet Movie Database, the two-and-a-half-hour movie cost an estimated $125 million to make.

...A conservative media watchdog organization says the mainstream media have been using yet another double-standard in their coverage of a new film that defames Christianity.

Michael Chapman of the Media Research Center (MRC) says while the mainstream press have been virtually frothing at the mouth in anticipation of today's release of The Da Vinci Code -- director Ron Howard's new movie based on the eponymous novel by Dan Brown -- hardly anyone in the media has been asking Howard or any of the other people behind the film any hard questions, as many reporters did leading up to the release of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."

But the MRC spokesman believes it is no secret why the media is giving The Da Vinci Code a pass. It is doubtful the media would tolerate a film that defames Islam, Chapman asserts, but apparently trashing Jesus Christ is okay.
