One of the few honest depictions of Arabs


Hollywood needs more movies like this. The general mentality of the country was much better in the 1980's-90's until we became a bunch of PC pussies.

@MathewsJ2 Yep, they'll probably depict terrorists as being Buddhists before Muslims these days.

reply

No, Christians!



Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Here's a group of Muslims in Burma (Myanmar) who are targeted, some would say ethnically cleansed, by the Buddhist-majority government.

reply

@Pregnat_asian_woman Those Muslims probably would've ended up being terrorists anyway.

reply

I wonder why they did that to Muslims yet live in harmony with other religious groups...
It is almost as though there is something about Islam that they see as inherently hostile.
More than 120 million Buddhists and Hindus were massacred by muslims in the past because Buddhists did not fight back and also did not convert. Their countries were later turned into muslim states, such as Afghanistan, parts of Persia, Pakistan area, etc.

I agree.

I thought they were supposed to be Persians?

Yes, but they are not Arabs.

Sharkman,

Muslims are members of a particular RELIGION, that of Islam.

Arab/Persian has nothing to do with being Muslim or not.
Arab/Persian is an ETHNIC (Not Religious) grouping.

Neither. He's right. You, though, sound retarded.


So all Arabs are terrorists? Do you even know what an Arab is?!

You too are a troll or retarded. There is no middle ground here.

Trolls dont have an opinion....just an urge to compensate their frustration about themselves!!!

reply

How many people are killed by Arnie in this movie and how many are killed by the "bad" guys?

reply

I know it's dumb to respond to an old post but I do not recall the bad guys killing anyone. Wait, didn't they blow up one of the military jets?
