Gibson's Hollywood posse is in his corner. "The story is controversial," says Joel Silver, who has produced five Mel-odramas (four Lethal Weapons and a Conspiracy Theory). "What this man [Jesus] was doing was new; people felt threatened by it and wanted him gone. Well, Mel's taken this timeless story and made it feel contemporary, as he did with Braveheart...
...professionalism of the latest attack also raises concerns that SIMI might be functioning with more sophisticated help from abroad. Monday's blasts involved the use of RDX explosives, which are favored by several Pakistan-based Islamic militant groups and which are far more lethal than the crude agrochemical devices deployed in previous strikes in Bombay. The coordinated timing of the detonations to within 15 minutes of each other was a further sign of increased technical prowess...
...many Indian Muslims, this timely discovery is just the latest example of continuing discrimination by the Hindu majority?regardless of India's recent peace overtures toward its Islamic neighbors. And it is precisely such inflammatory handling of Indian Muslim sensibilities that fuels Umar's lethal rage. In his interview with TIME, Umar asserted that "Hindus have been pushing us for a long time," and he vowed revenge in the form of further violence?possibly even against India's top political leaders. "People like Modi and Advani will be dealt with soon," he warned darkly. Informed of this statement, Indian police...

His instructions were to "do something...
This reticence to ingest lab-foods is not a manifestation of the public’s Luddite mentality, but a genuine scientific concern about the possibly lethal danger posed by genetic modifications. Although few studies have been carried out, the potential human health risks of genetic modifications have been well established. For instance, when a gene from a plant that can cause allergic reactions is added to a previously safe food that caused no allergies, this new genetically modified food becomes a disguised killer. One study tested natural soybeans that had been genetically altered by implanting a gene from Brazil...
