Where were the mass violent demonstrations?
Where were the threats to kill the producers?
Where were the recall of ambassadors?
Where were the "Go to hell Dan Brown"?
Where were the "Go die Dan Brown"
Where were the riots?

Are you suggesting Christians should have reacted more violently, or are you trying to make a point because Christians did NOT riot? Frankly, I miss the point of your seven questions. I can't decide if you're being so subtle I just don't get it, or if you actually don't have anything important to say.
Edit: Thank you, Ali. I now see your meaning and I do agree 100%. You make a good point, I guess I just needed to have Kallanart explain the context. As I'm learning from posting my own questions, it's one thing to have people to understand what I say -- quite another to have them understand what I mean.

I'm a Christian, and I wasn't angry about the Da Vinci Code at all. It was just a book. So who cares what it said? I also happen to be a historian, and I know that the history that it was based on is merely legend and speculation. There simply isn't anything for Christians to be angry about. I never did understand the hoopla over it.

It didn't happen, people!! He's being facetiously hypothetical!
The trouble with Islamic countries having a melt down over Salman Rushdie's books, the movie "300" and cartoons published in European papers is that the people are deliberately kept uneducated so that these riots can be stirred up to fever pitch using the primitive people who believe everything their clerics say! They do not know free thought and ideas. They only know what their religious leaders spew.

Not all Christians threatened. I must have missed that memo. This is the first I have heard about it at all and I watched the Da Vinci code.

No. I never heard of anything much to do with it; to be honest. A lot of people just said "Rubbish" and ignored it.
The Christian violence was several hundred years ago. No one advocates that kind of thing anymore. While it was wrong, there is no excuse of it in today' s world where people are much better educated and informed.

The Da Vinci Code is a lie! Dan Brown tried to pass off as the truth. He attacked the Christian faith. He called all Christian every where wack jobs who are believing in a lie. Me made up thing and called it History or fact. So what would you do If some one attacked you personally? Get mad? Christians are people we get Mad when attacked!!

Of course not.
How's this for irony - violent Muslims rioting, bombing, burning and killing over a cartoon implying that violent Muslims go in for rioting, bombing, burning and killing.

We turned the other cheek as Jesus told us to. We believe in freedom of speech and religion. I never read the book or saw the movie...that was my protest.
God Bless.
