The images at the top of the story made perfectly clear what we're to think of these strange beings: they regard Narnia and Harry Potter as occultist, and they don't like Brokeback Mountain. Ignore them at will.

I don't remember anybody 10 years ago saying Christians shouldn't see Schindler's List because of the nudity.

Ugh...I had to stop reading when I saw the words, "terminate unwanted pregnancies".

Me too. Heaven forbid the Times shock its readers by uttering the dreaded A word.

"I don't remember anybody 10 years ago saying Christians shouldn't see Schindler's List because of the nudity." Actually, it was banned in Malaysia and other countries due to nudity--to be more specific, not the "gas chambers" nudity, but rather the extraneous sensuous love scene with Oskar Schindler at the beginning of the film--which, IIRC, was the second time that someone disrobed under Spielberg's direction (first being, _Jaws_, but in that one the creative lighting techniques guaranteed you didn't see anything).

And I suppose the presence of Islamist sentiment in Maylaysia had nothing to do with banning Schindler's list?

One conservative Christian congressman (I forget who) decried the nudity in Schindler's List being portrayed on broadcast television. He was pretty much hooted down. Those conservative Christians who agreed with him pretty much kept their heads down, unlike Jerry Falwell and the Great Tinky-Winky Controversy.
