The timing and release of American Sniper comes at a rather sensitive time, with recent terrorist events in Canada, Sydney and Paris, as well as the ongoing problems in Nigeria, Syria and its surrounding regions. We’re living in a era where terrorist acts by Islamic extremists are reported daily in the mainstream media, and governments across the world are on high-level alerts, awaiting the next imminent attack.
Unfortunately, we are also living in a world where outlets like Fox News broadcast dross and flat-out lies, such as one of Britain’s largest cities being a “Muslim-only” area. A world where Rupert Murdoch, an utter stain on the human race, tweets nonsense such as how all “Moslems”[sic] should be taking responsibility for “their growing jihadist cancer” (?!). And don’t even get me started on Donald Trump, and his apparent high IQ. While trash media and idiots with too much money continue to broadcast “ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS!!!”, there is a responsibility amongst others to supply a more balanced and level account of things.
