Really offended there, if Matrix does have that character, i ain't watching it either!
Pisses me off, making fun of other people's religions after they can't find of anything to make fun of!

I dont like films making a mockery, but allah is a popular Muslim name is it not? If its a popular name then why not use it?

Erm, I think it's taking bit's out of lots of religions. Didn't you notice all the religious references in the first one?

I think you are taking this too hard guys,even if it has a character called Allah.
I'm not a muslim,i'm a christian,but i dont get offended when i see a movie character named Jesus (He got game).
This reminds of the witch hunts that the catholic church started when Dogma (Awesome movie) was released,silly.

mockery is really something i dont go for, but if ever it's true they have this character named allah in the movie, and this character is really a good one, decent and an epitome of greatness, i suppose you cant label that as mockery. just a thought.

I don't think it would be a good idea if the name of any worshipped god in a movie for a character. In fact, I'd say it's a very unwise thing to do. But, as Switchblade said, the first one had many references to religions, I picked up on a few Christianity ones (early in the film, the dud said "Hey man! You're my very own Jesus Christ".... and having the Nebbuchudnazer (spelling) heading for Zion was probably painful for someone).
It's odd, when I watch a movie, I don't bat an eyelid if I hear the F word, the C word or any other words, but it kinda hits a spot when I hear someone shout JC's name just because they banged their thumb or they've come across a rather nasty alien.
Marius, where did you hear about this? Any links?

I think people are discovering what the rest of the world has put up with for years, as TANKERx pointed out they wouldn't think twice about shouting "Oh Jesus Christ!", but would never say "Oh Allah!". At least they aren't using your god as a swearword. The guys who created this took bit's out of *lots* of religions in order to sort of be fair to them all I guess, and although in total they are mostly subtle they are blatent to the followers of the religion.
To you a lead character called Allah seems offensive, to a christian the idea of Nebuchadnezzer heading to Zion is floor spittingly offensive. They have probably tried to offend everyone equally, the third one may have stuff Bhuddists and Hindus find offensive that the rest of us would miss. Essentially America has no religion and is a secular money driven culture, they swear "in God we trust" then on the one dollar bill print Satanic emblems, they don't care about religions because most people won't make any connection.
