A Retrospective

It's a long story as to how I came across this article from 1998 at CNN. It's dealing with the then upcoming movie, the Siege, which as you might remember dealt with terrorists and our response to them. Of course, certain groups were upset with the portrayal of Arabs.

"When I read the screenplay, what immediately caught my attention was the fact that Arab-Muslims were blowing up New York City, killing hundreds of innocent people," says Jack Shaheen, an expert on the image of Arabs and Muslims in American popular culture. "That's an image that we see over and over again.

Now just think of those 3000 innocent people that didn't get to "read the screenplay" but were instead murdered by Muslim terrorists in the real world. And maybe we wouldn't see that image over and over if it wasn't for all the Muslim extremists killing innocent people all around the world. Liberals will never learn the lessons of history.
