Ben Affleck slams Bill Maher 'racist','ugly' on heated Islam debate.

Recommended Posts

What's more worrisome and alarming is reading the comments below the video. It's difficult to find a single one sympathetic to Islam or Muslims.

 

This is the future threat to those of us living in the West - to be continuously suspected and labeled a threat to the societies we have called home for the past few decades.

And the scarier thing is that sooner then later, people will have that popular support were it will become socially normal to "insult muslims" and harm them physically. Hollywood is the greatest professor and lately it has been showing people that its "acceptable" to torture muslims (Zero Dark, Homeland, Iron Man 3 etc.) and to bad mouth them (as "villanous muslims").

 

Funny thing is Affleck didn't have an issue with making muslims look like lunatics in "Argo", a movie that received Oscar recognition.

that's what extremists left behind,tainting in the worst possible image

and no where to run when almost every muslim nation in flames or under dictatorship.Muslims have to asses the damage and listen to their more moderate wing who are under threat and in hiding.

And I hear the situation is even worse in Europe. Somalis in countries such as Sweden, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and other countries have to deal with increased xenophobia, Islamophobia, and the rise of right-wing Nationalist groups who want to expel all foreigners from their homeland.

 

I seriously advocate that Somalis in those countries start thinking of a long-term exit strategy, as the hostility towards their presence grows with time.

 

What Muslims had to deal with in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks is nothing like what we have to deal with today. Even innocent activities such as constructing a large mosque is met with widespread hostility and suspicion.

Argo was a fantastic movie :D

 

It was based on a true story as well. I don't agree that it was "designed" to make Muslims look bad, as much as it was designed to make the Iranian regime look terrible.

We produced terrorists who killed and maimed the natives of our adopted countries; we preached hate from the pulpit of our mosques; ridiculed the culture of our host societies; exploited their women; plighted every neighbourhood with knife and gun yielding, hard drugs-peddling, thieving youths; and failed to take responsibility for our actions. Therefore, we are responsible for whatever happens to us.

Warya speak for yourself. Drugs-peddling and prostitution rings are completely un-Islamic and are perpetrated by Jamaican gangs as well as Russian gangs in Britain as well as the rest of Europe. Sure they may be Moroccan and Turkish gang members in Europe but their actions have nothing to do with Islam so why even bring it up.

 

It isn't an Islamic issue and you know that.

Why do you think that they made that movie?

The only reason that they have an issue with Iran is because of Islam and Iran's Islamic Revolution. You remind of someone that said "Zero Dark Thirty"

was an exciting movie albeit it made torturing and villanousing muslims an acceptable practice.

 

Hollywood is the greatest classroom in the modern world and it dictates popular culture and new worldviews.

are liable to be a “fifth-columnists”, who deserved no benefit of the doubt, and therefore must prove (on a daily basis) their loyalty to their states.

 

 

Absolutely agree!

 

I see this Identity Crisis happening all the time.

I wasn't talking about "Zero Dark Thirty"

 

I was talking about Argo. Maybe you should see the film. It's a great piece of entertainment :D

 

No one was being "demonized" in the film at all, and the film was actually based on actual events. Things that actually happened. What do you really think that such an interesting story won't make it to the Big Screen simply because it makes the 1979 Iranian Regime look bad?

 

You sound like those English people who complained that the movie Braveheart (with Mel Gibson) made English people look terrible. Even though Braveheart was actually based off a true story. (That's a totally great movie as well, I suggest you watch it :D )

Here is a question for you:

 

What side were you cheering for at the end of the movie?

 

Did you find the Islamic Revolution ohave been portrayed in any "positive light"?
