I just love comments like Mrs. Stevens'---NOT! She says the movie doesn't have a point. Who says it has to? Who says every movie or book ever written has to have a "hidden message"? Maybe the author is (gasp!) just trying to tell a story! In this case, though, there is a point, which is to (*shudder*) HONOR the heroes. Yes, HEROES, those just-doing-my-job type of people whom early leftists in the 1960s decided we didn't need. It's just that sort of thing that started revisionist history in the first place.

Sorry about the frothing rant, but I believe a special place in Hell should be reserved for those who insist there must be a hidden message in every story. I once had a college professor who spent an entire semester trying to whack one out of "Deliverance," of all things. And the obvious ecologic message wouldn't do; it had to be something deeper, more hidden....
SHEESH!
Not all Muslims are being silent in the face of the actions of the radical ones. There's a site called "Rantings of a Sandmonkey" by a blogger in Cairo, where an apology for the protests and violence in response to the cartoons is published. He even posts a link to a website dedicated to that apology. I don't know how to post a link, but you can reach the Sandmonkey's article through a link at Flopping Aces.
