Why not have actual jihadis?


I don't know why they had to go PC and have Barkawi be an arms dealer and not just a Muslim jihadist which would be more realistic? They should have shouted Allah akbar as they blew themselves up or opened fire at the heroes.

But I guess even having Pakistani and Middle Eastern bad guys is bold for today's liberal Hollywood.

If Hollywood were blatant in its offense, they risk the wrath of some overly-sensitive people. It would be like the Mohammed cartoons all over again.

Haven't you noticed all the critics are labeling this film as "racist"? Typical liberal BS. The film wasn't racist at all. But, oh my god, they DARED to hint that the terrorists may be middle eastern?? NO! It can't be! Who would ever dream such a thing? !? Terrorists from the middle east? ??
Yes, let's pan the movie and label it racist and go home to our white families in our white neighborhoods and feel good about ourselves.
What crap.
Hey the film was a suspense action drama, for that genre, it delivered. Why is everyone acting like suspense action movies don't push the limits of believability? Others that have pushed the envelope were good films like San Andreas, Armegeddon and all the Bond films. So get off your high horse and quit bringing your liberal agenda into this. Just get over yourself already.
