“Freedom of Speach”: Movies

Just two days ago I learned that the Movie “

Although the movie hit a box­of­fice records in Turkey and most likely among the immi­grants in Europe also but Ger­many wanted to ban the movie.

Offi­cial wants Turk­ish ‘Iraq’ film pulled.

More than this, they want Turk­ish com­mu­nity to con­demn the movie also.

Ger­man politi­cian urges Turk­ish com­mu­nity to con­demn hit Iraq film.

If we start to talk movies then we must men­tion another movie “

This one is not a fic­tional movie, it’s for real:

Movie direc­tor Michael Win­ter­bot­tom said:

What’s most shock­ing isn’t the tor­ture or the shack­ling, it’s that Guan­tanamo Bay exists at all.

Read:

Hor­rors of Camp Delta are exposed by British vic­tims.

A good read on the same sub­ject, is an inter­view with Michael Winterbottom

The Road to Guantanamo

    Well, I think the Turks are shoot­ing them­selves in the foot if they hope to get into the EU.

    The movie is libelous pro­pa­ganda. The main premise is US troops slaugh­ter­ing civil­ians and using tor­tured cap­tives as a source for organs to sell on the US black mar­ket. Nat­u­rally the ‘doc­tor’ who slaugh­ters peo­ple and slices out their liv­ers is a JOOOOOOO.

    I think it was the wife of the Turk­ish PM who said — “This makes me so proud of our boys.” She is refer­ring to the Turk­ish actors who play spe­cial forces guys who go in and kill the bad Amer­i­cans. Other quotes from Turks who have seen the movie: “I have never hated Amer­ica as much as I do now!”.

    Bravo.

    It shouldn’t be banned of course. But it does say a lot about the peo­ple who made it, and the peo­ple who enjoy it. It is delib­er­ately incite­ful and plays into the ‘blood libel’ anti-jewish pro­pa­ganda or yore.

    Well Charles

    You said:

    Shall I start to count US movies show­ing Arabs as killers and ter­ror­ists??? or you will be a hon­est per­son and start to count them by yourself?

    LB,

    Arabs as killers? Nah. Those are usu­ally mid­dle aged white guys who have dif­fi­culty social­iz­ing with women.

    As for ter­ror­ists, are you sur­prised? What on earth would make peo­ple asso­ciate ter­ror­ism with arabs? There is no empir­i­cal basis for that. It must be racism! Right TAI?

    I sup­pose the dif­fer­ence is that the movies do not paint all arabs/muslims as ter­ror­ists, although the ter­ror­ists usu­ally are muslims/arabs. You don’t get the dif­fer­ence and you never will. There is usu­ally a very clear dis­tinc­tion between the rad­i­cals and the reg­u­lars. The movies have lots of good arabs/muslims who are try­ing to stop the ter­ror­ists, or Amer­i­can mus­lims who work with the FBI/CIA or who­ever the Hol­ly­wood movie places in the good guy role. You prob­a­bly think of them as ‘trai­tors’ as you watch the films.

    Speak­ing of movies that piss peo­ple off…

    British Mer­ce­nar­ies Shoot­ing at Bagh­dad Motorists

    Secu­rity con­trac­tors of the so-called “Vic­tory” Group of the British mer­ce­nary firm Aegis Defense Ser­vices have com­mit­ted the ulti­mate war crime: the indis­crim­i­nate killing of civil­ians as part of a “game”, not a video game but a real game of shoot­ing Iraqi civil­ians as a form of enter­tain­ment, as revealed in a “tro­phy video” posted on an Aegis employ­ees web­site. There are in fact sev­eral video clips, which sug­gests that the prac­tice is not an iso­lated event.

    TO VIEW THE ORIGINAL VIDEO CLIP CLICK:
    WMV (Win­dows Media) or QT (Quick­time)

    The Video was taken by an Aegis employee from the back of a vehicle.

    Lady­Bird some­one just made me aware of this:

    “Holy­wood for decades depicted mid­dle east­sterns as stu­pid, back­word, at best, and ter­ror­ists at worst. Now some­one made a action movie to pay them back, in their style. What hap­pened? Here it is, this is from the cra­dle of so called free speech…

    Out­cry in Ger­many as anti-Semitic film sells out

    I didn’t know the film was con­sid­ered anti-Semitic — I thought it was mainly anti-American.

    I haven’t seen it yet, but although it might be slightly exag­ger­at­ing, it will take the Amer­i­cans many years of hard work to regain the rep­u­ta­tion they once had — at least in Europe. Abu Ghraib, Guan­tá­namo, depleted ura­nium, shock and awe, etc. don’t fade away easily …

    Or maybe the Amer­i­cans are play­ing this Anti-Semitics game???

    As we all know, anti-jew/anti-US are hard to dif­fer­en­ti­ate among muslims.

    I think the rea­son it is con­sid­ered anti-semetic is because one of the plot lines has to do with an evil joooooo US mil­i­tary doc­tor who dis­ects tor­tured pris­on­ers to steal their vital organs which are then sold to wealthy jooooos in the US.

    Its sort of a mod­i­fied ‘blood libel’ theme.

    Allah Akhbar!

    Nothin to see here folks.…. please keep moving…
