Ahmad, I think the point is that people are taking issue with the fact that Emmerich, out of sheer cowardice of a fatwa being placed on his head (a la Salman Rushdie), “spared” Mecca, while he chose to destroy the major icons of the world’s OTHER religions, none of whom issue fatwas to those who commit heresy. To anyone with a conscience, his hypocrisy and lack of integrity causes disgust. That’s not to say that anyone in the audience would have cheered the destruction of the Kaaba.

im egyptian and i dont think they know what fatwa means cuz it doesnt mean whatever hes implying furthermore im really glad they didnt do that(blow up the kaaba) cuz its a very important symbol in our religion and it would be a tad offensive to portrait it like that with all thats going on in the world and i like to thank emmrich for deciding not to do it.

Ridiculous and yet, oddly understandable.
