Just the fact that a movie is made about this event seems exploitive to me. I can only imagine how those that hate the west will relish at the sight of people coming out of theaters visibly shaken. I have no desire to partake of this crap.

Should certain events be off limits to artists?

I guess you wouldn't have approved of all the WWII movies in the theaters during the war?

"Just the fact that a movie is made about this event seems exploitive to me."

I somewhat agree with you, and it's for much the same reason that I thought "The Passion of Christ" and Whitley Strieber's "Communion" were not dramatic successes: first, we already know the story; second, the story lacks plot points and character development. It is more fit as a subject for a documentary than as a "story." Watching this movie would almost be like buying one of those videos of car racing accidents; it's taking pain, suffering, and tragedy, and turning it into entertainment.
