Fox and CBS' anti-Muslim movies on Oscar night

Salaam,

Just want to draw your attention to the shockingly anti-Muslim movies
"Executive Decision" and "True Lies" aired by Fox and CBS respectively
from 7-10pm ET tonight. Of course, this conveniently coincides with the
massive television presence that Oscar night draws, broadcast on ABC.
So as many people as possible can potentially be fed violent sereotypes
of Middle Easterners and Muslims, with plenty of Arabic dialogue to
complement these negative images.

He was referring to a statue of Oscar.  Well, he probably didn't mean it in a positive manner, but it is actually a compliment to the Afghani people. Because yes, they would not stand for such silliness and nonesense (not to mention the deliberate demoralization of the people) that are part and parcel of the movie industry.

Who takes these people (actors) seriously anyways? There is an Arabic saying, "Al-kilabu tanbah wa al-qafilah taseer" which translates to "the dogs are barking while the caravan moves on".

Wassalam

That's a really cool saying, I'm going to have to use that now. :)  If there are any more you come across pass them along to me.

speaking of the oscars, i know one person who said that if by chance Allah sent a meteor storm directly on the Oscars wiping out all those actors/actresses in one go, that it would be nice.

Heh, kinda morbid i know but funny too hehe :)
