People often cite "Not Without My Daughter" in R&S in an insulting manner to Islam, as though all Muslims behave like "Moody" in that film.
But do you know about Moody (Sayed Bozorg Mahmoody)'s side of the story? Do you know about his film, "Without My Daughter?" He hasn't seen his daughter for 16 years, and other Americans shown in this film claim that "Not Without My Daughter" was simply propaganda. Also, did you know that Betty Mahmoody was a convert to Islam?
I'm not trying to say that the Islamic Republic Iran is right - in fact, I'm the first to claim that it's an oppressive government - but stop citing propaganda like this film in order to insult Islam! It just makes you look stupid.
