If the movie perpetuates those negative feelings for some in America whilst motivating others to argue that the invasion was wrong and that Muslims are unfairly portrayed and discriminated against, it's controversial -- not always a bad thing.
Factual and unbiased are subjective, crash. I assume you think your critiques on the movie and comments on "'Murica" are unbiased. I see them as something else. I'm a fan of free expression and free speech; even when what is being expressed or spoken doesn't coincide with what I consider factual and unbiased -- that's what it's all about.
Can anyone remember what did create the mindset? I think that's a moot point anyway.. Shouldn't we be concentrating on what perpetuates it? I'm sorry, but I think if anything is one sided and propagandistic, then that is a bad thing.
I don't see how this is a grey area. This is a glorified account from a proven liar that only serves the purpose of one side. You can claim all the freedom of speech you like and unbiased blah blah blah, but that's just like Mr Isis saying his propaganda is unbiased and for the greater good too.
