National Geographic “bombarded” with threats by Muslims over bin Laden movie

via National Geographic Channel beefs up security after threats over bin Laden movie – NYPOST.com.

The National Geographic Channel has beefed up security at its Washington headquarters after being “bombarded” by threats over its upcoming film, “SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden,” a source said yesterday.

The movie has prompted enough threats from what one source called “Muslim extremist groups” that the network felt it had to take the action.

“They have been bombarded with phone calls and blog posts, saying that anyone airing a film like this is asking for trouble,” the source added.

“Enough threats have come in that the network is on higher security alert. They have a huge public building, with a museum and 1,600 people working.”

The network was already receiving sharp criticism for its decision to debut the feature-length TV movie Nov. 4, two days before the presidential election. Critics charged the timing was calculated to boost President Obama’s campaign.

The film’s distributor is staunch Obama supporter Harvey Weinstein. The channel, also called NatGeo, denied that accusations.

A rep for National Geographic said only that the channel will air the film “no matter what,” adding, “We are big believers in the First Amendment.”

Really? Then why did this Nat Geo video documentary on Islamic Honor Killing stop being available years ago?

A source told The Post that the reaction is far from what NatGeo is used to.

“They’ve never seen such a dramatic reaction. It’s not like there’s outrage over airing a documentary on the Grand Canyon,” the source said.

Are these guys really that clueless or is this simply a marketing ploy? It would certainly be a way for the White House to defend the obvious campaign gimmick that it is.

PS: We still haven’t seen the dead bin Laden photos or Islamic burial video.

  1. Y don’t they Just explain to the Jihadist scum that they’re trying to help the ‘Imam-in-Chief’ who loves them win, then they should calm down…

  2. From what Maj Gen Paul Vallely states on http://trentovision.tv/
    Obama was on the Golf course, and Panetta called for the action and the helicopters were already in the air when Obama showed up in the situation room. The look on his face…IMHO …is that he was ticked that Panetta did it without his consent, and also he was sitting there thinking…What if it goes wrong! Where will I be? Because with the narcissist in chief …It is all about HIM! Look at the photo of him ….tell me you don’t see the same thing on his face! He threw on the jacket so people could not see his golfing clothes. So HE did not call the order to get Bin Laden…Panetta did! Believe me…if it had turned out differently…he would have blamed Panetta.

    And I still have this sneaking suspicion that Ben Laden is not dead!
    I did NOT see the photos of him …DEAD. How do I know!?

    • @priceless22…you are the first person whom i’ve encountered who has the guts to say that you don’t think OBL is dead. i’ve suspected that from the git-go. it was highly suspicious that the order was given to “bury him at sea”…& you are absolutely correct…that we have not seen evidence of him being dead..i.e. pictures of his dead body. IMO, it was just a promo for the maggot-in-chief to star in the show! it was done for a publicity stunt to mqke the Obomb look efficient. didn’t work! oh, & you hit the nail when you said, “it’s all about him”. it’s always “all about him”.

    • B.S…. Bin Laden died in a hospital years ago…

  3. What role does Panetta have in Muslim Brotherhood? Is he the US director? I would not trust any of these muslims in American uniforms with a pack of matches.

  4. lets hope they stick to their guns and show it instead of pandering to the islamo-whiners

  5. will they arrest Harv Weinstein for incitement? will Obama make a speech in UN apologizing for this film that is clearly demonizing ISLAM? will he say the future does not belong to those who dare to make movies about Muslims? Will he denounce Biden for bragging about killing Osama b/c it makes Muslims angry?

    not holding my breath

  6. This is a measure of the power and influence moslems think they have in the U.S. I’d like to hear the perps of these emails accused of hate crimes.
