Wonder away, crash. I don't have the answers on how others would feel about Mustafa; I imagine it would vary. I'm telling you my opinion of the American Sniper critiques posted here.
As far as American Muslims, and Australian Muslims, and French Muslims, etc... They already face hostilities because some Americans, Australians, and French assume that all Muslims have jihadist mindset, or that "good Muslims" are not vocal enough in denouncing terrorism, or they don't speak the right language, or they don't dress right... The movie didn't create that mindset, not by a long shot. And, it is, in fact, just a movie.
Freedom of speech and expression -- I'm a fan of it. That includes Kyle's freedom to write his book, Eastwood's freedom to make his movie, your freedom to critique them, and my freedom to share my opinion of it all.
