#3 There is a big problem in Isalmiststs in the recent history. For a brief period in the past, Muslims helped in the advancements of science. Proud Muslims must try to find what made them a contributor to the knowledge in stead of blaming others for their failure. Once the world became flat, only those who contribute positively will be the winners.

Very brief. Most of the "muslim" advances were made by dhimmis or were mere transmission to the West of advances made in the preislamic era. Not merely the Greek heritage but also Assyrian and Persian.

#6 East is East demonised Muslims?! - It provided a sympathetic portrayal of young muslims battling with conservative, elder generations, more like. The IHRC leap into action whenever their precious religion is criticised and the perpetrators are labelled as Islamophobic. Such filmic portrayals are thus offensive whilst leaping up and down in the street calling for the beheading of anyone who disagrees with your fairy story is just fine and dandy. Fecking idiots.

#7 Because NO ONE forms their opinion of Muslims from the real-world actions (and inactions) of Muslims.

We will have to set up a program to overcome Islamophobia, demonisation, exclusion, disempowerment, social isolation, eliminate piggy banks, and implement cultural sensitivity training for police, prosecutors, magistrates, pilots and air crew, doctors, prison warders, teachers and others who show cultural bias towards Islam and Muslims. We do know that Islam is truly the high-water-mark of human achievement, peace, prosperity, spirituality, and all that is uplifting and ennobling.

#12 Simple questions: How many non-Muslim groups behead prisoners? Now that the IRA and UDF have settled down, how many non-Muslim groups bomb innocent civilians? Other than African tribal feuds, how many non-Muslim groups believe they have the right and the duty to kill or enslave people from other groups?

Given the answers to those questions, rather than complaining about how they are portrayed by Hollywood, muslim Arabs should thank Allah that the rest of the world doesn't eradicate them like vermin.

#13 How about an authentic depiction of islam based solely on the aspirations of muslim "holy" men and on the words of their "holy" books. Just tell the censor to overlook the "prophet" taking sex-slaves in battle and raping a nine-year old. We would not want to impose our cultural values after all.

#15 As well as deep unease with big screen portrayals, the research also found a perception of “unashamed bias” in the media against Muslims, with 62 percent believing the media to be Islamophobic and 16 percent describing it as racist. Only 4 percent considered its representation “fair”.

Well, well. Interviewing Muslims for their opinions on the infidel press and reporting the results as fact? Why don't we ask David Duke his thoughts on racism (or Robert Byrd for that matter). Or, let's ask any LLL Hollyweirdo their thoughts on Bush and Rummy? Quite a study I say.

#16 The authors call for more power for cinema censors to be able to curtail or even decline certification of “objectionable material”, as well as more effective media watchdogs and increased responsibility in coverage of issues involving Muslims on the part of newspapers and television.

You know...a whitewash.

#17 As I remember "The Siege" was very pro-Muslim. It justified the terrorism as caused by the "evilAmericans" (one word). The villain in the movie was the US Military (surprise!)

If that is an example of anti-Arab propaganda, then I don't know what would satisfy these guys.

#18 I find it hilarious that The Guardian printed this as the number of villians in movies with English accents is easily a hundred times higher than the number of Muslim villians.

For a major religion the Mulsims portray themselves as more sensitive than an eight year old girl. Get over it, idiots.

Al, I'm sure live video feed from inside the next IED that goes off in Iraq would do. Or, more video of infidels jumping out of that 110-story building on 9/11/01 would do. Or Daniel Pearl being beheaded. The list goes on, but you get the point, I'm sure.

#22 moderate muslims had their chance to stand up in western countries and denouce the fanatics. They failed miserably to do so. Now they have to live with the consequences of their actions.

Thier culture makes it very hard for us to be able to tell the fanatics from the sane. And the sane do nothing to help us. I think I speak for most non-Muslims when I say that until we can tell the difference between the moderates and the fanatics - few Muslims will be welcome.

It's their own fault and nobody really cares what the Guardian says anymore anyway. Blah, blah blah.

#23 This is just propaganda. Three Kings, Kingdon of Heaven, Syriana were all pro-arab/muslim movies.

Hollywood spends much more time blasting the U.S. than it does anyone else (although I note that Mel Gibson does like to bash the English).
