I seem to recall right-wingers taking a rather dimmer view of that film when it played at the various festivals in 2006 (or was it 2005?). But I agree that the film certainly wasn't meant to *incite* violence. Then again, the Danish cartoons weren't meant to incite violence either, and yet violence happened in response to them. (Which, incidentally, some conservative bloggers have taken pleasure in pointing out: The media resisted showing the cartoons in print and on the air, for fear that they might incite violence, but the media has been quite gleeful about showing Sarah's "crosshairs" graphic -- which suggests that they don't *really* believe, deep down, that the graphic *will* incite any violence.) -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
