My allegory is bigger than yours

If you’ve not heard about the Jewel of Medina story, read the story about “the next Satanic Verses”. My favourite quote was the university professor claiming:

You can’t play with a sacred history and turn it into soft core pornography.

Well, I’m pretty sure you can. If you can film The Passion of the Christ it should be possible to do anything. But even if you can’t, we’ll just wait for them to film Song of Songs instead, right? No need to turn it into pornography at all.
