just because it's been going on for forever, doesnt make it right. and chastising another person for wanting to discuss not the only the phenomena, but also the issues behind iti just have to ask, why?
"just makes it far easier to tell the story", at the cost of misrepresenting or distorting one culture's identity and image, is just the lamest thing ive heard. if you have to do that just to make it easier to tell a story, then you ought not to be making movies at all. so for you to speak up for that is deplorable.
the muslim men were shown to be devout, and yet had tattoo of a crescent moon and star. if they did their research, the first thing they'd know that it is forbidden for muslims, devout or not, to be inked. taking on the religious meaning of the crescent moon and star as something that is tattooed, is also disrespectful.
i think the movie was ok. i enjoyed it, but all these things do not add up. and for the larger american society who, to be honest, are fairly ignorant, most of them will believe what they see to be true.
the filmic arts has to exercise greater responsibility in their craft. they can make movies about terrorism, kidnapping, they can even target the cultures that partake in it, but do not misrepresent them just because they have been vilified. -

To be fair to the Americans, their "vilainification" of the mentioned cultures has it's reasons Russia threatened world peace and freedom for half a century. China did/does the same to a lesser degree. Vietnam put into action the threat represented by the Russians and Chinese, as did/does the North(!) Vietnamese. Middle Eastern Muslims have likewise been a threat to world/western peace, security and democracy for 40 years and continue to be to this day. I don't hear you berating the Americans for putting nazi-Germany in the role of the villain time and time again?

Person of Interest especially likes to have exotic mobs, they have a good coverage of Eastern Europe by now. If I am not mistaken they have even mentioned Estonian mob twice throughout the series. Amazing.

beep no man in their right mind would be inspired to convert to Islam just by the call to prayer. I'd say that if he did convert, that's anything but good. Read your "holy" book, it's full of hate and contradictions.

There are hundreds of thousands of missionaries of the Muslim and Christian faith who are quietly doing good around the world, but it's not exactly the kind of gripping news stories that the media are going to highlight.
So we get ignorant kids and people making moronic remarks about how religion is evil. Yeah, we get it - you are idiots who only know how to read headlines and not between the lines. -

Religion doesn't have a good track record.
And it is still showing its ugly side:
