I think there is a bit of a difference in the ethical dilemma presented by smuggling bibles into Communist China or the Soviet Union it its day vs stealing intellectual property.

Can one imagine if instead of The Bible they aired a 10 part mini-series called "The Koran!"? The first time Mohammed (played convincingly by Tom Hanks) appeared, a dozen cities in America and 2/3rds of them over seas would burn down in protest.

I would be shocked if a channel like the History channel does not show something similar to this about the Koran. However keep in mind it is a money thing and there are (at least right now) a whole lot more Christians in America than Muslims so the audience potential is a lot less for a mini series about Islam. A much smaller audience means much less advertising money which is what funds the budget to make it in the first place.
Similar to liberals whining about the radio success of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc when it is merely a function of the marketplace. Every time liberals try to do talk radio they fall flat on their face because they can't attract an audience. Their demographic is either in college classes having their heads filled with liberal mush or are out partying or watching Jersey Shore.

Oh, a show about the Quran, of this caliber and some marketing, would have an audience. Lots of Christians would watch, just so they could be up in arms about it! (Or celebrate it, if it was sufficiently negative. )

I think the pertinent thing to know about the Quron / Koran is that it states that infidels should be killed or conquered. That pretty much sums it up.
The Muslims we call "radicalized" are the ones really following the dictates of the Koran.
The "moderate" Muslims who do not follow that part of the Koran are the equivalent to the "nominal" Christians in America who claim Christianity as their religion but do not actually follow its tenants.

Back on topic: I thought the first part was beautiful! Great acting and good but limited effects. I cant wait to see the rest.
