It Was Just A Matter Of Time

To be completely honest, I am a little surprised this story's origins aren't centered in California. However, a news source out of India today confirms that Bollywood will be making a film that probes the mind of a suicide bomber.

Mahesh Bhatt's Suicide Bomber, to be set in Britain and India, will also seek to spread the message that Islam is a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness, the leading director told Reuters on Wednesday.

"Muslims are demonized by the western nations especially after the so-called war on terror. The gulf between Muslims and the rest of the world is widening," Bhatt said.

"The film will be an attempt to clarify Islam is not demonic and to delve into the mind of a young suicide bomber to try to find out what drives him to reject life for a violent death." [Reuters 1.4.2006]

Shall I pick some of my favorite words from this article? Yes, I shall: peace, mercy, forgiveness, and not demonic. So, lets see if I have this straight...

In A Word presents an exclusive, world premere look at the taglines featured on the movie poster for the must see film of the year, "Suicide Bomber:"

"The main character shows so much mercy as he kills hundreds of people." -- Barbara Streisand

"The whole theme of forgiveness, while blowing up innocent people has moved me beyond words. I only wish King George had this much compassion" -- Billie Joe Armstrong [Green Day]

"Mercy plain a simple. The mercy granted by the suicide bomber to end the lives of infidels before they could finish their morning commute to their Islam hating jobs at places like Dunkin' Donuts nearly drove me to tears. Wake up, America! We are the real terrorists." -- Sandra Bernhard
