I saw the movie Flight Paln, and was very offended.
The movie takes place in an airplane, right?
"So who better," thought Hollywood, "to play the guy who looks like a villian, than an angry looking bearded Arab? Perfect!"
And highly original, Hollywood, really.
I am sick and tired of Hollywood portraying Arabs as ignorant, evil people. We are not. So stop pretending we are, and while you're at it, try to make movies that are not crap, please (I know this is very difficult for you).
Please, do not watch Flight Plan. Don't buy the DVD. I think we should boycott all movies that offend Arabs. I started.

I read this article the other day that all flight-attendants are boycotting the movie.
They were like 250,000 flight attendants who did, 'cause the movie really offended them.
Well, the movie was stupid anyways i didn't continue watching it.Now like every movie than has the subject of "terorrisim" in it has to have an arabic-bearded guy, i mean did you see the show 24? most of it's episodes when the "bad-terorrist-who-kills-all-these-poor-innocent-ppl" has to have a beard ,an arabian/english accent, and an arabic name like ahmad or mohammed ! & at the end the hot-blonde-guy-with-all-these-HUGE-fake-mucsles save em' & kill that damn arabian bastard !
It's the era of Arab Bashing, if you're keen on American cinema; you'll notice that during the red scare commies were usually protrayed as the villians, and Nazies during World War 2. So it's just a moment and it'll pass. But if you're really interested in fighting back, boycotting pirated dvds isn't going to work; we need to to invest in Mid-East cinema.
Moustapha Al-Akkad once said that he would have loved to make more Arab/Islamic movies, but funding for them was hell.
A.S.G
A.S.G you're so right! btw ya5i y don't u have a blog?! You should really get one :)
ubergirl87: I'll be takin yer advice babe :)
A.S.G.: I meant we should boycott the original DVDs. I don't buy anything pirated.. I believe it's stealth. I saw flight plan at a movie theatre.
And I agree about investing in Middle Eastern cinema. Although, I have not seen one Arabic movie that I've actually LOVED. Do you recommend any?
are you guys idiots?
The point of putting the arabs on the plane was just to throw the audience off and have the passengers more confused on the plane.
The arab showed his hotel reciept proving he was innocent. She had just mistakenly recognized him.
Really, all the movie shows is the publics ignorance. The caucasian man who yelled out "A hotel reciept doesnt prove anything!" That was just ridiculously funny.
This movie doesn't offend me and my other arab friends at all.
ohyeah, and he wasnt an "armed-trained-FBIagent," he was just a con man dumbass.
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
