The movie is intentionally being named The Two Towers in order to capitalize on the tragedy of September 11. Clearly, you cannot deny the fact that this falls under hate speech. We believe that if they will not willingly change the name, the government should step in to stop the movie's production or to force a name change

Any idiot would know that J.R.R. Tolkien came up with that title ages ago. Clearly these things are being said for publicity's sake. And to provoke LOTR fans. (They got our attention didn't they?). They are the ones using the popularity of The Two Towers to further their cause (whatever it is). They're the ones who should be sued.
As for the press in the US (or anywhere) comparing the events in real life to the events in the book,
