United 93’
Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Arabi • Al-Madinah
“United 93” is a Hollywood film currently being shown in cinemas across the United States. The film possesses an unusual ability to whip up fresh waves of hate crimes and acts of Islamophobia, not only in the US but on the other side of the Atlantic as well.The film has led to a sense of fear in the minds of Muslis, whether Americans, Arab or of whatever nationality.
The film as the name suggests, is the cinematic representation of the story of the ill-fated United Airlines Flgiht No. 93 that crashed into one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York Sep. 11, 2001.
the story opens with two hijackers devoutly reciting vrses from ther Holy Quran and chanting (La Ilah Illa Allah), there is no God but Allah. as the story develops, viewrs see that Islamic Symbols and chants are cleverly used alnogside the horribale events. The ostensible aim seems to be tp drive deep into the minds of the viewers the idea that the terrorists savageries were some how carried out as a form of worshipping Allah and in obediance to the commands of Islam's holliest books.
In other words, the deeply moving suffurings of thousands of innocent peaple were caused by an outflow of monstrous cruelty and deep hatred which some how equate Islam. The Villiany that caused the tragedy has been dexterously associated with holy Islamic symbols with such craftsmanship that viewers leave the cinema with a strong feelings of revulsion toward Islam and its follwoers. Viewers are lead inescapably to conclude that Islam is an evil religion encoureging voilence, terror, mass killing and destruction.
A freind' son studying at present in San Diego, California, called me to tell that a few days ago, he and his wife were terrified by the intensity of hatred produced by the film in the minds of viewers there. According to him, the faces of viewers as they left the theater were hot with anger as they cursed Arabs and abused Muslims.
Films such as (United 93), dont help bulda bridge ofmutual understanding smong variouse peaple of the world. Socities, which lead the world and promote the cause of human rights, should discourage films that so blatantly promote hatred.
Salaam.

wat a low life people
I bet this movie showed how muslims are terrorists, i would never watch this movie because it's against our people. Bunch of lies portraying islam and muslims as evil people, horrible movie.
What movie does not feature Muslims as terrorist! The us is always chasing some Muslims or chasing people that are going to supply Muslims with Dangerous weapons! And this became more visible and was made more acceptable after 9/11, but it was always there!format_quote Originally Posted by Inshallah

Actually, in the movie version of the Tom Clancy book 'The Sum of all Fears' they changed the terrorists from Arabs to Russians just so they would not offend Muslims. Apparently offending Russians is still allowed in Hollywoodformat_quote Originally Posted by R_Mujahed.

Really? What movies are you thinking about? The evil people in Hollywood still usually have a German accent IMHOThe us is always chasing some Muslims or chasing people that are going to supply Muslims with Dangerous weapons! And this became more visible and was made more acceptable after 9/11, but it was always there!. And through most of the Cold war nobody cared one bit about Muslims, it was always the Russians that planned something.
Don't overestimate the importance of Arabs in the US mindset pre-9/11!
I disagree. America produces many movies, both mindless and mindful movies. They produce plain entertainment and thoughtful quality.Akhee... All their movies are useless and senseless and all the other words that can end in less!
And, to their credit, apparently their movies also have a world-wide appeal. I remember when I was in Iran people couldn't stop talking about 'Titanic', which was just released then
Yes, the thought of Muslims commiting terrorist acts is so far fetchedformat_quote Originally Posted by Inshallah.

Should the crimes of Arabs be off limits for films?
Some people become angry over this, but that plane was shot down! Someone in the area was interviewed and said that he saw a streaking light hit the plane just before it went down. His interview was never repeated. Hijackers don't tell the passengers what they are planning. So the passengers overtook the plane and instead of trying to survive and call their loved ones they had spoken to, they crash the plane? Get serious. I guess people still believe Oswald killed Kennedy, even after the US Government locked up all files for 75 years. Nothing to hide, right?
i do not care to see this film, it is false

I am angry over this. There is no evidence which supports the shoot down theory and the account of one layman as an eyewitness is far from conclusive.format_quote Originally Posted by blackjubba

When all Muslims dead. I wonder who would be the blacksheeps of Hollywood?

The flight box survived from that crash. The passangers did not manage to get control of the plane. They had called loved ones and their loved ones told them what had happened in New York and so they decided they would not wait until they too died. They attempted to storm the cockpit and the hijackers deliberately crashed the plane rather than allow anyone to survive.format_quote Originally Posted by blackjubba

The flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were recovered on the afternoon of September 13, buried 25 feet deep at the impact site, but only transcripts been released to the public. In April 2002, in an unprecedented action, the cockpit voice recorder was played by the FBI to relatives of the victims of the hijackings. Further details were released by the 9/11 Commission in July 2004.
The transcripts of the cockpit voice recorder [1] were made public as part of the trial of Zacharias Moussaoui, but the actual recording is unreleased. At the start of the transcript, a woman is heard pleading for her life. This is thought to have been a flight attendant.
The tape was reported to have contained voices saying "Allahu Akbar," English shouts that included "Let's get them!" and "In the cockpit. If we don't, we'll die" then screaming and other sounds followed by silence. Sounds of crockery smashing have led to the conclusion that a service trolley was used as a battering-ram to force the cockpit door open. The tape also debunks speculation about First Officer LeRoy W. Homer Jr. being injured when the hijackers can be heard saying, "Inform them, and tell him to talk to the pilot. Bring the pilot back." indicating that they were having difficulty controlling the plane and needed the assistance of LeRoy Homer.
The hijackers themselves appear to have all retreated into the cockpit prior to the charge, and they can be heard praying, reassuring themselves, and discussing on separate occasions, in Arabic, whether to use a fire axe in the cockpit on those outside or to cut off the oxygen to quell the charge. Jarrah said "Is that it? Shall we finish it off?" Another hijacker replied "No. Not yet. When they all come, we finish it off." Jarrah later said "Is that it? I mean, shall we put it down?" to which another hijacker replied "Yes, put it in it, and pull it down." then later "Pull it down! Pull it down!"
The 9/11 Commission found from the recordings that, contrary to what many have believed, the passengers did not succeed in entering the cockpit before the plane started its dive. There is a small possibility they broke in after it was far too late and the plane was descending vertically at nearly 600 MPH. The 9/11 Commission ruled that the actions of the crew and passengers prevented the destruction of the Capitol building or the White House by causing the hijackers to abort the attack on their intended target.
I find this sort of comment more disgusting than the actual terror attacks. Nearly 3000 people died in those attacks. They left family and friends. Have some decency and admit the truth.format_quote Originally Posted by islam-truth

Believe half of what you see and none of what your hear. How do you know it went down like that? How do you know they played the whole tape, or if that was really the tape? You don't! But most americans will believe anything the Government tells them - Oswald killed Kennedy and the Government doesn't listen to your phone calls. Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and are an emminent threat. By the way, the president of North Korea has openly said in the US Media, that he has weapons of mass destruction, that war with the US is emminent, and that he will use them. Why isn't the US rushing off to war with a real threat? Because it doesn't serve their purpose. Why doesn't the US rush into Daffar and quell all of the violence? We already know the answer. The US Government doesn't have the heart to tell you they shot that plane down. That's one reason why the movie came out now - to play on the sentimentality of the people. And it's working.
Don't worry. I always keep that in mind. I am thinking about it right now in fact.format_quote Originally Posted by blackjubba

Well most Americans seem to have accepted that the government does, in theory, listen to some phone calls. Of course two seconds thought will show that they do not listen to them all. And of course Lee Harbey Oswald did kill Kennedy.But most americans will believe anything the Government tells them - Oswald killed Kennedy and the Government doesn't listen to your phone calls.
I don't think anyone believes that any more - but Saddam's generals did.Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and are an emminent threat.
Actually it is because they do have nuclear weapons - the US can only pick on small weak countries. South Korea would not allow an attack on the North at the moment.By the way, the president of North Korea has openly said in the US Media, that he has weapons of mass destruction, that war with the US is emminent, and that he will use them. Why isn't the US rushing off to war with a real threat? Because it doesn't serve their purpose.
Another reason is that they cannot get any support for action on Dafur. No one cares that much about dead Black Muslim Africans. There is no reason to think that the US government show down the plane. It is disgusting to even claim it. Bin Laden took credit for it. Why deny it?Why doesn't the US rush into Daffar and quell all of the violence? We already know the answer. The US Government doesn't have the heart to tell you they shot that plane down. That's one reason why the movie came out now - to play on the sentimentality of the people. And it's working.
Oswald killed Kennedy? What planet do you live on?
