[The Los Angelos Times] December 16, 2005--Last week's long-anticipated opening of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the first film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia," has brought a torrent of anti-Lewis commentary from the left. Narnia is sexist (threatened by evil witches who are always women), racist and religiously intolerant (its enemies are swarthy, turban-wearing idol worshipers) and offensively Christian (the magical land is ruled by a Christ-like lion deity named Aslan).
