  For those that haven't seen the film: The film is set in Brooklyn, N.Y., and involves a bombing campaign by "Muslims" which prompts the American military to declare martial law and carry out a mass arrest of American Muslims and Arab-Americans. The scenario is similar to the detention of Japanese-Americans during WWII. This film links Islamic religious practices such as prayer, Islamic dress, the beard, Quranic recitation with terrorism. The film reeks of stereotyping that further perpetuates the myth that Islam=terrorism. In the end, all it does is provide more reason for non-Muslims to despise/suspect Muslims before even talking with them to find out what Islam is all about. Quotes from the Qur'an : "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256) "Invite (Call mankind) to the way of your Lord (i.e.Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'aan) and goodly exhortation (beautiful/fair preaching)" (16:25) Nowhere is terrorism justified or mention. Therefore, one shouldn't confuse the acts of people claiming to follow Islam with the acts of true followers of Islam.
