ok the connection is real life and the movies

the sun has set so it is officially the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross(actually have the church's crufix in my car which contains a small piece of the actual wood of Christ's cross(all Catholic churches have these)anyways i shall have to decorate this with flowers for the special holyday service tomorrow night. anyways thinking of the Cross and the petitions and so forth...and with what happened on 9/11/12 wish to talk about the problems between Catholics and Muslims (Moors in Spain many centuries ago) and of course in the movie the main character was portrayed by none other then Charleton Heston...yes, my favorite movie of all time,"El Cid," My Lord...in this epic movie the Christians and Moors battle it out...the war is won, and the Moors are driven out by El Cid...for a long time...interestingly enough he was an actual figure...in the movie he is named this by a Moor whom he had rescued and they became good friends...but in one of the memorable scenes, one of the followers of El Cid is being tortured...and a Moorish leader speaks to him is this agony worth it...and the reply is it is an honor to die for El Cid... so the Moorish man's response is...(something like) so it is...then let this be a war between your God and our god and he stabs him violently to death...in a battle later on El Cid is wounded mortally...yet instead of having a doctor's intention he keeps the spear in him and rides on with a cross on his clothing, leading the Christians unto victory and into history...the parallel is that this still goes on today w the murder/the asssination the other day...it is still a war between faith traditions...
