The last major Hollywood film that dealt with a terrorist threat was The Sum of All Fears, the 2002 film that started Ben Affleck�s career on a downward glide-path to the center square on Hollywood Squares. In the book, the bad guys were Islamic fundamentalists. But, thanks in large part to a campaign by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the villains were changed to a secret cabal of ultra-sophisticated, super-wealthy neo-Nazis. Whereas in real life most neo-Nazis smash cans of beer against their heads while dancing in the woods, in Hollywood�s vision they wear perfectly tailored suits and plot world domination from the highest corridors of power.

Capitulating to CAIR�s campaign, the director of the film wrote to the organization, �I hope you will be reassured that I have no intention of promoting negative images of Muslims or Arabs, and I wish you the best in your continuing efforts to combat discrimination.�

No doubt CAIR is working tirelessly to obtain similar letters from Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, and other groups dedicated to promoting negative images of Muslims and Arabs by actually murdering people, not merely pretending to do so on the big screen.
