Muslim call to prayer always linked to the bad guys

I know people say its 'just a film' ..but when a film is produced that millions of people watch, its not 'just a film' ..certain contents of the film sub-subconsciously stick.

All too often Hollywood depicts Muslims as murderous thugs with nothing more to do than destroy the 'milkshake drinking' way of American (or western) life.

Is it just me or are our minds being softened to accept / have no feelings when seeing the middle east in ruins?

I am a white and from the UK. This *beep* p1sses me off.

maybe a more accurate depiction of America would have been some crazed loon to shoot up the milkshake diner at the end.

I was in Turkey for a week. The call to prayer was a very common occurrence during my stay, like once an hour or so. So hearing the call to prayer in turkey is very much a thing that just happens.

As far as depiction of Muslims, well there is the fact that 90% of terror attacks in western nations are done by muslims. then theres also the fact that not one but three child sexual abuse gangs run by muslims were dismantled in UK alone, one of which had sexually abused over 3000 kids. Then theres the fact that ideas expressed in Koran are incompatible with western values such as freedom of speech and women rights.

And the fact that your white and from UK has absolutely nothing to do with this. In fact judging by your need to express this i would guess you are running on the white mans burden routine and should stop.

P.S. whats the obsession with milkshakes?
