Blog Question 1:
Superficial and non-essential intelligence community portrayal aside, I absolutely adore "True Lives," because it provides the sort of humorous, action-packed and explosion-laden plot that Americans generally crave. Immediately upon seeing the names Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold on the cast list, one is put on notice that the film will likely be an entertaining combination of humor and "please, do not take this seriously." I just pray, to whomever, that the actual individuals presiding over our intelligence community do not engage in the sort of "Cheaters," television show and personal investigative behavior-of their significant others, as is depicted in the film. If our intelligence community actually does act in this way, the way of constant-personal-relationship paranoia, summon God, the Saints and any other available deity to America's side, because we are unsafe against a dark and ominous, furtive evil.
Blog Question 2:
I watched an interview recently, incidentally, it was not on a real, corporate media-ran news interview program-but "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," featuring an author who has written a book on the nature of fear and how business, government and regular people capitalize on it. Sadly, I feel that without fearing us to death, many individuals in America and academia would be devoid of employment. With this being said, however, I do not advocate the utter ignorance of threats or the necessary planning that should accommodate them.
Blog Question 3:
After 9/11, I procured a copy of the Muslim Holy book, the Qu'ran and thoroughly reviewed it. Additonally, I served in the role of Islamic-Student-Affairs coordinator and worked in association with C.A.R.E. to provide fact-based answers to traditionally stereotypical question. In this respect, I can recognize a Muslim negative portrayal when I see one.
Robert is correct, Muslims and Arabs generally have contributed innumerably to our society. In Mathematics, economics and otherwise. For anyone to marginalize Arabs and Mulsims in the default category of "terrorist," is to be wholly ignorant to this group's credit for improving our modern world.
