I chatted with some Dogma protestors today in Albuquerque, NM and they informed me that they had heard the Muslims had put a hit out on you for Dogma. Wow, now you are as famous as Rushdie!!!
They were protesting for the America Needs Fatima campaign, a special campign sponsored by The Foundation for a Christian Civilization. Thier brochures looked almost identical to the Catholic League ones...including their protest postcards to Disney, Miramax and the Weinsteins, and of course thier donation request card (which you can also use to order more protest brochures, but please send a donation as they exhausted thier funds printing all these brochures...). They gave me a rosary to send to Kevin to save his soul. I asked if they had seen the film, they had not but did read a script (the old one of course).
On their side, they were quite courteous (but like Kevin's group no doughnuts or coffee). They also said they did not promote violent protests.
We also asked if they liked the Halloween Hell Houses a couple churches had (where they depicted abortions, demons with dead gay people, and the Columbine massacre) and they said they thought they were good and spread a good message. We of course disagreed.
It made for an interesting Sunday.
If you want the brochure to add to your collection let me know.
