I don't think I've seen any of his movies, but I used to read his blog when he was updating it regularly and I've read the novel they talk about. He's usually sane about religion. |
This is interesting.
Something that I have been thinking about too is what Christiane Amanpour spoke of while interviewed by Piers Morgan brought about what is going on in Muslim countries today in which the Muslim moderates are rebelling against tyrannical leaders in droves. She says we need to listen intently to them because we have been asking why they are not standing up for a long time- and now they are!
