They fought back because they were terrorized. A Muslim would ask what else could they do - because the movie doesn't take sides. And, the missing vote could have clarified that.
Terrorized people are sheep that do what they're told.
Courageous people fight back against that which *seeks* to terrorize them. There is a difference between fear and terror, if you wish.
You seem to think that there is something wrong because if a muslim fanatic watched the movie he'd probably identify with the terrorists. Well... duh... nomatter what treatment they got in the movie (hardly sympathetic as you seem to think) a terrorist is always going to identify himself in the story.
