Now this should be like the 4th of july every day for a year. We have seen the kinds of savagery the Islamic world does when a minor shmoe makes a 17 min low budget clip on the facts of Mohamed’s origins. Riots are staged all over the world, sharia law is demanded by every bearded clam from Montreal to Sydney Australia and diplomatic missions are burned and danced upon to cries of Allah hu Ackbar by everybody with a Wee Willie Winkie costume. Which is nearly everyone in Pakistan it turns out.
Imagine the fireworks when the Shiia and Sunni turn out simultaneous big budget state sponsored biographies of the pirate Mohamed with one insisting that a boy trapped in a well is the ultimate solution to the whole, ‘let’s make the world Islamic’ problem as opposed to the Sunni philosophy of just killing everyone all over the place.
If it is possible to buy short on an entire region of the world, now is the time to short the middle east.

Duelling biopics of Muhammad reflect differing traditions of Sunni and Shia Islam over depiction of the Muslim prophet
Film-makers in Iran and Qatar are planning rival biopics about the life of Muslim prophet Muhammad, according to the Hollywood Reporter, despite the risk of offending religious sensibilities that such plans inevitably throw up.
Oil-rich Qatar recently announced a series of epics designed for a worldwide audience about the seventh-century prophet of Islam. Production company Alnoor Holdings has hired Lord of the Rings producer Barrie Osborne and Sunni Islam scholar and al-Jazeera broadcaster Yusuf al-Qaradawi to provide advice on what could be a $1bn project. “They certainly have the money to do it,” Osborne told the Hollywood Reporter, adding: “They are being understandably very cautious.”
Things are going to get real interesting all around the world.
A simple biography – Mohammed is born then grows up, marries an older woman, gets voices in his head, pretends to be a prophet then after a while goes on a rampage displaying his true qualities and revealing to everyone that he is nothing but a cowardly, lying, sexual pervert with a taste for rape, murder and robbery. Mohammed marries a child. Mohammed gets rich, dies (or is murdered) and then his relatives, cronies and thuggish followers fight each other and everyone else for the next fourteen hundred years.
Let’s see if either the Sunni or Shia versions follow this simple script or will layers of taqiyya be plastered on instead?
