Will Film, “Seal Team Six” Hurt “Religious Feelings” of Muslims?
Will Film, “Seal Team Six” Hurt “Religious Feelings” of Muslims?(CFP).After initially blaming the 9/11 attacks on US embassies in Egypt and Libya on an anti-Islam video made in America, the Obama administration seems oddly unconcerned that a film which glorifies the killing of Osama bin Laden might again hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.
As reported: LOS ANGELES (AP) — A film dramatizing the death of Osama bin Laden is set to debut next month on the National Geographic Channel, two days before the presidential election.
“Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden,” from The Weinstein Co. and Voltage Pictures, will air Sunday, Nov. 4, the channel said Thursday.
President Barack Obama faces Republican challenger Mitt Romney at the polls two days later.
Weinstein co-chairman Harvey Weinstein is a prominent fundraiser for Obama’s re-election campaign, which has touted bin Laden’s death as an example of the president’s leadership. National Geographic Channel chose the film’s debut date to help promote the start of its fall season, channel President Howard T. Owens said Thursday. “Harvey obviously doesn’t schedule our network,” Owens said. He added that the channel is “not political. We are opportunistic from a programming perspective.” Still, what if Seal Team Six results in riots and worse against Americans in the Muslim world? Has the Obama administration considered the potential harm that the film might bring to Americans abroad? Or is advancing Obama’s campaign the only priority?Read the full story here.
