Hi all

Something has really bugged me since I saw DoD(2004).
Toward the beginning of the film, in a montage played with 'when the man comes around' there is a weird clip with a room(which I think is a Mosque) filled with people(who I think look like Arabs) bowing their heads in unison. This image is also the first thing you see on the DVD menu. It's the only one in the montage that doesn't involve zombies or rioters.

I always wondered why the makers put it in there. Was it supposed to be a clue to the origins? Something about religion raising a demon...or to do with the 'no more room in hell'.

Did anyone else notice this? Did you think it had any significance?
Have the makers said anything about it in interviews?

There is no significance....They're Islamic people praying in a mosque because they think the zombies are the end of the world, like any other religious people were doing in other cultures

I agree. I'm not a muslim but I wouldn't look into it too deeply. I doubt there was some hidden message to it. If the dead started walking, all religions would be praying in unison.

I don't think they were trying to send a message on the origin of the zombie plague. I think It was just stock footage they were useing.
