Left-wing actress Angelina Jolie has refused to allow Fox News in on her press coverage. But in one of the more unsavory and perverted travesties to come out of Hollywood in recent memory, her new film on the Islamist murder of Daniel Pearl will be screened next Thursday in Los Angeles—in an event sponsored by unindicted Hamas co-conspirators CAIR, and supported by Cafe Intifada and several other far-left groups.

It’s another appalling example of the leftist-Islamist convergence, and an incredible dishonor to Pearl’s memory. And from all appearances, the film is a “progressive” disaster; they’ve apparently turned the story of Pearl’s brutal beheading at the hands of Islamic terrorists into a moonbat parable on “global truth and understanding.”

(ANAHEIM, CA, 6/15/07) - On Thursday, June 21, Los Angeles’ diverse communities are invited to come together for an exclusive screening of Paramount Vantage’s A MIGHTY HEART, immediately followed by a panel discussion “Building Unity and Understanding in Today’s World.” The event is co-sponsored by Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Progressive Christians Uniting (PCU) and Paramount Vantage.

A MIGHTY HEART, a film based on Wall Street Journal writer Daniel Pearl and the book of the same name by his wife Mariane Pearl, arrives in theaters June 22 and stars Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie, Dan Futterman, Archie Panjabi, Irrfan Kahn, and Will Patton. Michael Winterbottom, best known for his socially-conscious films, “Welcome to Sarajevo” and “The Road to Guantanamo” directs.

The evening celebrates Daniel Pearl’s strong commitment to global truth and understanding and the principles in which he lived his life.

WHAT: A MIGHTY HEART screening, followed by panel discussion “Building Unity and Understanding in Today’s World.”

PANELISTS: A MIGHTY HEART Producer Dede Gardner, Co-producer with Brad Pitt/Plan B Entertainment, Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of CAIR - Greater Los Angeles Area (CAIR-LA), Rabbi Haim Beliak, Founder of Jews on First, The Rev. Peter Laarman, Executive Director of Progressive Christians Uniting (PCU)

Lovely. CAIR’s co-sponsors “Progressive Christians Uniting” believe the World Trade Center buildings were “brought down by controlled demolitions:” Where is the Conspiracy?
