Comments on: ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and Bahrain Traffic http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/07/12/the-da-vinci-code-and-bahrain-traffic/ Because Silence is Complicity! Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:10:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Yvonnehttp://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/07/12/the-da-vinci-code-and-bahrain-traffic/#comment-288666 Yvonne Wed, 11 Oct 2006 19:47:26 +0000 http://sabbah.biz/mt/?p=1422#comment-288666 I was wondering if maybe you could help me. I am trying to help my mother locate her cousin, who lives in Saudi Arabia. We wanted to tell him that my mother´s mother passed away. She was his aunt and we thought he would appreciate beeing told. The problem is that he has converted and taken a new name and all we´ve got is an old telephone number that we don´t even know is correct anymore. The number is 3 346 0823 and I cannot find any white pages for Saudi Arabia on the net. Do you know of any way for me to confirm if this phone number is still valid? if I don´t hear anything from you, I will of course just try and call this number and see what happens! Thank you so much, from Norway I was wondering if maybe you could help me. I am trying to help my mother locate her cousin, who lives in Saudi Arabia.

I happen to know from first hand experience that Moslems and Christians can get along just fine (moderates) Several Muslim clerics also attended the Pope's funeral: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/4/8/00611.shtml http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/Pope/2005/04/07/986827.html Also: Catholic bishops issue statement condemning Israel and those Palestinians escalating the violence, BUT states firmly: "JERUSALEM (Catholic Online) ? Israeli violence and aggression in Gaza against Palestinians is without proportion or justification, requiring the international community to demand a diplomatic solution to the conflict, religious leaders representing Christian faith communities here said" http://www.catholic.org/international/international_story.php?id=20489 Back to the book and the movie, neither of which is profound material!

The film starts off on a semi-plausible note and then digresses into pure nonsense. It is BLOODY in parts. I even had to get a wet towel for my daughter who almost fainted sitting down from the gorey scenes! So in other words, go see it if you like, but it's really rather stupid and was not nearly as good as the FICTIONAL book. PS, I read the book, saw the film.

It is a FICTIONAL MOVIE. While I am the first to admit that the Catholic Church has had some very "interesting" historical missteps and some "different" practices (not-mainstream Caholocism) I am concerned just a tad as to why so many Saudis (where I formerly lived) would want to go to Bahrain to see this movie. With religious strife spreading at horrific speed across the world I would like to say this on the part of my church: Pope John Paul during his term made a historical outreach to Muslims http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/1216852.stm (2002). Pope Benedict, our current pope, has continued in his footsteps http://www.masnet.org/news.asp?id=2369 (Surprising how his tone has changed towards just about everything since his election to the papacy) Although I am not threatened whatsoever by this movie, I am concerned that it could be used as a propaganda tool against my church. This not to say whatsoever that I would have been one of the ones not wanting this film to air in Bahrain. But please understand me, just as Muslims do not want to see themselves portrayed falsely or negatively, I hope all who do view this movie realize that it IS a piece of fiction. Hope I don't come off as being overly sensitive, but I am well aware that things such as this can be taken out of context and further fuel the strife which those of PEACE of all the three great religions, Islam, Christianity and Judaism are working so very hard to limit. On another note, the pope made an official statement July 7,2006 concerning the current escalation in Gaza http://www.masnet.org/news.asp?id=2369 Again, I am only wishing that one day, the God of our three great religions, will unite us all in the peace he so longs for us as his children.

Watching that tripe ought to be administered as punishment, not provided as a privledge. Truly horrible drek.
