A lot of folks are concerned for the safety of the average Muslim living in the US. These Muslims, our neighbors, have assimilated into our society and they love it here. Many folks are afraid that we will start gunning down these innocent Muslims, and yes, the vast majority of them are innocent. This is why you will seldom, if ever, see any Muslims portrayed as villains in TV or the movies. Hollywood is afraid they will stir the pot if they show any evil Muslims, so, in typical Hollywood fashion, they overreact the other way. I'm awaiting a film by Oliver Stone that theorizes that the planes on 9/11 were actually manned by Southern Baptists and Orthodox Jews. BTW, there definitely IS a danger of innocent Muslims getting hurt.

As to the movie review, I find it difficult to believe that flight attendants and air marshals are being intentionally vilified. It sounds like Ms. Schlussel laced her coffee with amphetamines before writing this.

I find it hard to believe, too. There's a difference between having a villan who happens to be a flight attendant and slandering flight attendants as a group. I also dispute the notion that flight attendants are somehow a new "protected class" just because some died heroically.

I think hatred of Hollywood is getting too much for some people to maintain a sense of perspective.
