'V FOR VENDETTA'

"The message of ‘V for Vendetta’ could not be clearer," said Don Feder, president of Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation. "Those involved in this cinematic hate crime are saying Christians want to establish a totalitarian state and impose their morality with a policeman’s truncheon."

"V" is set in Britain, circa 2020 - a nation ruled by a right-wing Christian dictatorship, a la "1984."

Said Feder: "It hard to imagine what else the movie could have done to tie a loathsome regime to Christianity.

The article goes on to accuse Hollywood of attempting to send the message that "Christians are hypocritical hate-mongers, with tendencies toward violence, who are waiting to seize the reins of government and persecute unbelievers," and makes the contrast between the fact that there is no Catholic dictatorship anywhere on earth, while there are Muslim theocracies which do persecute infidels.

It closes with a statement of purpose of the Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation which is to combat anti-Christian prejudice in the news media, the courts, and Hollywood as well as the ACLU and the Anti-Defamation League.

The article is dated March 22, 2006, making it old news. I can't say that I recall seeing anything else about this movie. Anyone else?
