In reference to the PC gems in movies: I hear that in the Tom Clancy book, "The Sum of All Fears" the terrorists who got hold of a A-Bomb were Arabs but in the movie they changed them to neo-fascist(Movie jargon for bad White People). Is this true? I'm new here, so please be gentle.

I have heard this is true also that the director changed the Arab villain to show a more PC bad guy. The last time on the screen I can remember seeing a bad Middle Easterner is in a Sally Field movie Not Without My Daughter.

Since Hollywood began they have been altering scripts to portray their view of how society should be. WW II is the best example of showing the Hollywood's agenda where they wanted beat fascism. Since the 60's they've pushing drugs and sex and left-winged politics.

Alas, yes it is true.
Islam is a culture of peace.

The irony is, had the movie remained faithful to the book, it would eventually be deemed prescient, in addition to being a lot more entertaining, and a reflection of the real world.
