  1. "Liberals and Leftists are gonna hate this movie because it’s pro-American, pro-military, depicts radical Islam accurately..." LOL...sure that's why they hate! Yet another strawman based fictional article...

    1. What, exactly, is inaccurate in his characterization? Liberals and leftists are typically anti-American, typically peaceniks, and typically rush to the defense of Muslims.

  2. Actually, the negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes largely bear out Godawa's claim above, although less so with respect to the portrayal of Islam. The only thing I myself didn't like in the review (of my brief scan of it) is what he omitted when he writes, "Yes, killing evil people who deserve to die is good, true and beautiful." Maybe it is all of those things, but it is another thing: tragic. And that makes Godawa's value claim far too simplistic for my taste.

  3. Nice side step Steve. Tell us already who are these Liberals and Leftists who hate a movie because it depicts radical Islam accurately?

    1. You're the one who's sidestepping the evidence.
