We're Clancy fans, but are boycotting the movie because of the plot change.

Only two movies I can think of in recent years with Arab terrorists are True Lies and The Siege.

I recently re-watched True Lies, and found the idea of terrorists getting their hands on thermo-nucluear weapons not so ridiculous any more.

And even in those, HW did their best to exonerate Islam. In The Siege, heroine Annette Benning's dying words are "Allah Akbar". In True Lies, one of the terrorists gets his chance to say "This is not what Islam stands for!" (before the other terrorist shoots him.) Really, Islam has been treated better than it deserves.

There's also EXECUTIVE DECISION, a 1997 thriller starring Kurt Russell and Halle Berry. In this movie Islamic jihadists hijacks a 747 with the intention of crashing it into the Pentagon. No, REALLY! (rent it and see for yourself)

That's weird because there aren't any other movies with the Arab terrorists. But they are making all the news past couple of years, and responsible for the terrorism that infects America today! (Israel as well, obviously)

It will be great if someone like Mel Gibson or Arnold S. would sign a movie contract where he's an American soldier trying to stop an Arab terrorist who is attempting a major attack on America.

That will be the blockbuster of the year, IMHO.
