From the Two Towers Protest FAQ:

We believe that Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema's actions are in fact hate speech. 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.

I was really disturbed to find that 3598 people had signed the online petition, but it turns out the vast majority are trolling, and that the petition has been suspended due to a lack of maintenance by the petition author.
