"The teenagers say the game reinforces the western image of Arabs as "terrorists" with introductory scenes showing them gunning down civilians and stealing US aid"

How dare they portray arabs as terrorists. When has an arab ever killed innocent people?

Actually this is the first game/movie/book that i've seen in a while in which the arabs are portrayed as bad guys. The last instance that I can think of is clancy's "the Sum of all Fears". Hollywood transformed the muslim antogonists into white neo-nazis for the film version, however. I can't think of a single movie post 9-11 in which muslims were the bad guys. Any other examples?

Collateral Damage with Arnie, if I remember correctly.
