Weeks ago it was stated in yahoo that Muslims were complaining that Hollywood put them as bad guys, honestly, why should we think other wise? I honestly believe, that they are because of them blowing theselves up and etc. How can we not see them as evil? Muslims complain of Hollywood bad guy image was the title.

Why should Muslims be exempt from being portrayed as terrorists when there are countless examples of on-going Islamic terrorism? TO exclude them would be to deny reality.
A detailed list of violent Islamic activities can be found at:

People of all religions commit violence, but Muslim terrorists actually cite Islamic beliefs and Mohammed's example for their actions. That is fairly unique and thus they make good villians in movies.

First of all, not all Muslims are terrorists. Strange but true. It may seem that all are terrorists, but if that was correct then the world would be in shambles right now. Believe or not, Islam is actually a peaceful religion and they are not the first religious group to justify their actions by God. The reality of Islam is that there is a small percentage of Muslims twisting this religion. It's a shame, because there is nothing in the Quran stating to become a terrorist. Nothing. Nada. Take the time to learn about the real Islam religion. You might surprise yourself.

why not? It's just movies. By the way, when Muslims torture and kill innocent people, in America they're put on trial and sometimes even get away with it. Do you think in some Arabic country, if an American did something like that he would be given a fair trial? I think not. You probably can imagine what they will do to him, considering how they deal with innocents, imagine the guilty? Only in America we have bleeding hearts for terrorists and their sympathizers. What about the pain of our soldiers and other innocent people and children dying because of their acts? So now they are upset because of how they maybe portrayed in movies? Mind bugling.............

I wish I could remember the name of the movie, but something came out in 1999 that had muslim terrorists in the storyline. Some muslim group in South Africa said in one breath that the movie unfairly depicted muslims as terrorists, then in the next threatened to bomb any theater that showed it. So the terrorists among them don't do them any favors...

99.9% of the Muslims I know are bad people. They believe in different things. The males will beat their wives and children if they do not do as told. Most women are not allowed to have a education and have to stay home. Here in America most have had to deal with the culture change. But, most rules still apply.
Back home in their native home land it is nothing for them to strap a bomb on a commit suicide. They believe if they do this they are going to heaven and have several wives and be like a king up there. To me that is just sick. Most of the movies to portray them as to what they really are. So, you can take it or leave it....

Perhaps a little recent history might help:
In the last 25 years, what group has been responsible for every single act of terrorism in the world, with the exception of that goofball in Okie City? Extremist MUSLIMS.
I say that Hollywood's a little late...

I have many Muslim friends, and they are very good people, I think portrait them as bad people or terrorist is a bad stereotype that create hate to them.
Oh and I had to edit because yes! I agree with Mr. Sir!

The only Muslims you hear about are the ones on the news. The Muslim doctor in my town isn't going to be on your TV, because he is a law-abiding citizen.
If all I knew of Christians was what I saw on the news, I might conclude they all beat up gay people and bomb abortion clinics.

well, if the movie is portraying a murderous terrorist out to kill americans, then a Muslim portrayal would be accurate because it is a large portion of the Muslim population that wants us dead.
