ISLAMOPHOBIA & HOLLYWOOD

"Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face  
It's barbaric, but, hey, it's home,"
This was later changed to:
"Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but, hey, it's home."

 
(Don't forget Jon Leibowitz Stewart!)

Reel Bad Arabs is an old documentary. If you have not seen it before, I recommend you consider doing so sooner than later. It gets to the roots of Islamophobia in America and offers concrete solutions to the problem of this propaganda. I may not agree with the author’s stance on 911 or Oklahoma City, but let it pass. He also never mentions who is behind this racism or what they hope to achieve from it. He concentrates on the one issue, Hollywood vindication of the Arabs and that is good enough because he knows it well.
