Not even anything offensive just a cartoon depiction of The Prophet.

decided to pull the movie from their theaters before Sony took action. I almost think that Sony's action was face saving more than anything else since virtually no one was going to show the movie.

I think these cartoons are off for that reason.

There was plenty of theaters still going to show the movie.

After a week of NO terror attacks then the other 5 major groups would of added it back to the showings.

Sony caved because they are cowards.

You hero even admitted it today.

Relations between Koreans and Japanese tend to be a bit strained because of Japan's occupation of Korea during the 20th Century. I wonder how much that had to do with green-lighting this film in the first place.
