No Islamic Landmarks Were Harmed in the Making of 2012

Fascinating and insightful article about how the producers of the movie 2012 allowed Christian, Buddhist and other religious landmarks to be destroyed while leaving Islamic landmarks alone. They claimed they didn't want a fatwah on their heads for insulting Islam. So what does this make them? Cowards or realists? Are they pandering to Islamists or just trying to avoid trouble? I think they just wanted to make a movie and avoid trouble. But this begs a larger question of just how tolerant we are supposed to be of a religion that has no intentions of ever tolerating us. This is just one of many examples of how Islam is gaining ground here in America and other parts of the Western world. If we are not careful we could lose ground altogether--all in the name of tolerance.
