"perpetuating Islamophobia"
Of course, random acts of terrorism directed against unsuspecting citizens don't promote Islamophobia. Attacking other people's religions doesn't promote Islamophobia. Calling for the death of Americans and the destruction of America doesn't promote Islamophobia.
Why don't these complainers and their little PC allies shut up and move back to the Middle East?

Arabs have complained about the way they are portayed in the film as a whole. The famous scene of Indy shooting the sword wielding arab being played for laughs. Etc...

uhhh, the bad guys in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" were the Nazis. Of course, I understand mussies getting upset, since they keep associating themselves with the Nazis...

I read the whole article and I find each of the movies described to be a very accurate portrayal of the death cult known as islam.
Ever notice how they and PC band of lefties all want censorship?

There is no motion picture that can match the total depravity and cruelty that are exhibited in the actions of Islamic terrorists.

Excellent point! Actually, they were kind of the stooges in those movies, not the "bad guys".
To: MarkL
the bad guys in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" were the Nazis. They were thinking of that scene with the guy who threatens Harrison Ford with a sword, and Ford shoots him. Classic.

The Seige and Aladdin were both made before 9/11. Don't worry... The Islamic terrorism our country has received is working!!! So, don't worry!

Well, DANG, now that makes two of us. I am really HAPPY about those images, personally, but I am unhappy about the beheadings and terrorist attacks and subhuman behavior. Perhaps we can meet and discuss.

> A report by the Islamic Human Rights Commission argues that films as diverse as The Siege, a portrayal of a terrorist attack on New York starring Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis, the Disney film Aladdin and the British comedy East is East have helped demonise Muslims as violent, dangerous and threatening, and reinforce prejudices.
Ummm... D'ya think the "Nicholas Berg beheading" movie and "9/11 dancing-and-shooting-guns-in-the-street" coverage might have *possibly* given a flavor to public opinion about Muslims?

<<Rambo III>> Last movie made with Muslim good guys
Wouldn't that be "Funny Girl" starring Omar Sharif?

I've heard a Palestinian Arab at work call Jews, monkeys and pigs.
With all the hate crime P.C. slop in our country now days, why do the Muslims get a pass when they spew hateful rhetoric?
