I'm not so sure, because the Life of Brian didn't make fun of Christianity, although it did poke fun at the throngs that were searching for a messiah. Similarly, I think you could pull off a comedy about a bunch of Bedouins in 7th century Arabia who are generally ignorant of the actual current of change in their time and seeking a different, abortive attempt at overthrowing the established order.
- buboard 7y agoI mean a similar film. I can't imagine it to go down easily.
- projektfu 7y agoIn this case I really think it mattered more that a bunch of people who didn't see the film had preconceived notions about it and took it upon themselves to make a stink. Certainly that could happen in the Muslim world as well, as happened with the Satanic Verses. But that didn't have to happen (although it might have been good for publicity).
