Hollywood, Islam and Political Correctness
Gatestone Institute ^ | 10 July 2014 | Oliver Williams

In the politically correct attempt to avoid "stereotyping" and be safe from discomfort, have we been blocking out reality?

Hollywood has been indulging in a sort of reverse racial profiling: cinematic terrorists could be anybody other than Muslims.

Muslim terrorists? As in the movie Non-Stop, Hollywood would rather cast the family members of 9/11 victims as terrorists rather than reflect that such a thing exists.

The exculpation of Islam from any depictions of being responsible for terrorism is just the latest of the many sins of omission committed by Hollyweird lib moviemakers. For decades audiences were given numerous films about evil Nazis. Where were the films about evil communists?

After the fifties, flicks about the evils of communism were few and far between. But we're still getting evil Nazi flicks, "Inglourious Basterds", and such.

Criticize Muslims & you get death threats & violence.

Criticise Christians & you get “I’ll be praying for you”.

Hollywood hates Christianity and has gone Stockholm Syndrome where Islam is concerned. `

Worse. The hollywood types have the same warm love for jihadis as the liberals. A welcoming, unconditional love, that continues even though jihadis openly proclaim their hatred for us and maim, rape and murder.

A lot of us have volunteered to become dhimmis for our Islamic overlords. Stockholm Syndrome indeed.
