Don't forget JAG, which has also dared to show Muslim terrorists.

I heard Hollyweird is working on a movie about 911. Ugh, I can just see that; Leonardo DiCaprio and some girl saying standing on top of the WTC with her saying "I feel like I`m flying" while some incredibly awful Celine Dion song plays in the background.

This time he'll be a hotshot bond trader and she'll be an immigrant admin. assistant he meets in the elevator. They'll have been pursuing a torrid romance much to the dismay of his too-perfect, blonde WASP fiance and his blueblood parents. They secretly marry and 9/11 happens just when they plan to elope. There'll have to be an endless, interminable dramatic scene in smoke-filled offices and up an down crowded stairwells as they seek each other out and then struggle to escape. He runs back to help an injured co-worker and is killed. She is carrying his child and the movie takes up when a documentary crew is interviewing survivors for a 75th anniversary film (in Smell-o-Vision)about 9/11 and... Dang! These scripts just write themselves. Perhaps I missed my calling.

How long is it before the FCC starts fining television programs for 'hate speech'. CAIR might want to get some pointers from Brent Bozell and his PTC since they're the experts; maybe they could even work together - then they could really clean-up tv.

lol! It will be like that! And of course there will be no smoke just like all Hollywood movies when it comes to fires in buildings. The hallways will be ablaze with fire but the people will be able to see just as clear as day and the fire will go on and on for hours like a campfire. Then being that it is Hollywood they will of course blame it all on Bush "Where is the President??!! What? By God man! What do you mean he is reading to school children??!!"

Also Pax's show Sue Thomas show has shown Muslim's as terrorist.

A few years before 9/11 the terrorist in The Siege were Islamic, even had the Muslims being put in internment camps because of fear in NYC. Haven't seen the movie in years, but I think it was the US's and CIA's fault that the terrorist went on the rampage...your typical Hollywood take on the subject.

Regent Entertainment might make a movie on my book, so don't tar all of Hollywood with the same brush.

If you did, I think there would be backlash from the decent, hard-working, law-abiding Muslim community in this country.

So what??!!

It'd be the OTHER 98.4%!!!!!!!

Roosevelt put the Japanese in internment camps and he was the champion of Liberalism.

He also had it right, up to the point of letting the Nazis kill Jews for five years.

Anti Semite B&^%ard. Just like the rest of the "inclusive" Libtards.

ha ha! Yes, the fantastic acting.."Jack..Jack..come back Jack..." then she grabs the whistle "peeep peeep peeep" as the building collapses. I never understood why James "I`m King of the world" Cameron would go through all that trouble to re-create the Titanic, to even be meticulous about the color of the paint in the hallways, then blow it all on two idiots who couldn`t act themselves out of a paper bag, but then I notice he does that in most of his movies. He just makes the acting horrible, like Mary Elizabeth Mastriantonio (however you spell her name) in The Abyss. What was that all about? "Oh Bud you are back..I am Mrs. Brigman" Aiiie! CRINGE!!

One thing wrong in the article. The terrorists in "The Sum of All Fears" were always neo-nazis, even in the book. Just changed the governments and ****ed with the timeline in Jack Ryan's life (in the movie he wasn't Dr. Ryan yet and wasn't married yet, but he was in the book, and the Soviet Union still existed in the book, yet it was the Russian Federation in the movie--although the USSR still existed after he became dr. ryan in "The Hunt for Red October.")

The Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mohammed Al-Zaquri, called on Muslim nations world-wide to set aside next Wednesday as a day of prayer and celebration to thank Allah for destroying more than 2 million Americans when a giant tsunami hit the Eastern seaboard of the United States.

More than 100 million were left homeless in the United States when the giant wave rushed ashore just eleven hours after a 9.0 Richter scale trembler jolted the mid-Atlantic. Mr. Al-Zaquri is quoted as saying, "Praise be to Allah. He is destroying the infidel for us. It would be Allah's will if all 100 million died."

United Nations Minister of Disaster Relief, Jan Englund of Norway, the only country to voluntarily join Hitler's Third Reich, said that the atheist, nihilist, socialist countries of the European Union would forego any disaster relief out of respect for their Muslim populations.

Mr. Englund emphasized the scope of support from he and fellow UN bureaucrats for Muslims. Mr. Englund said, "One must understand that we are giving up the opportunity to divert billions of dollars in aid money into our private Swiss bank accounts and to me, that is a sacrifice unparalleled in public service history."

The terrorists in "The Sum of All Fears" were always neo-nazis, even in the book.

Um... which book were you reading? My copy has the conspiracy primarily headed by Islamic terrorists, with technical assistance from Soviet-era holdout East Germans, and stateside assistance from an "American Indian Movement" type. Not a single neo-Nazi to be found anywhere...

There were plenty of mid-east / muslim terrorists in movies pre-9/11, as much of a cliche as Russian gangsters.

With regard to putting 9/11 front and center in a Hollywood movie, I think it'd be a mistake. It's too recent, the wounds are still fresh, and any commercial treatment - CGI flames and the falling towers - would [IMHO] be pretty tawdry. 9/11 showed nearly all disaster / action movies to be hollow. Why play on that emotion now when the emotion is still real?

But I am confused and cut up, surprised that even thinking about it has had such an effect. Hollywood so rarely gets it right.
