The Sum of all Fears: Political Correctness Gone Insane

In the year 2002, the movie "The Sum of All Fears" was released.  The plot of the movie was that a group of Neo Nazis sought to instigate a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia, eliminating two major world powers, which would enable them to build a new Fascist State in Europe.  This movie was loosely based on Tom Clancy's best-selling book "The Sum of all Fears."  However, the the plot of the book was very different from that of the movie.  
In Tom Clancy's novel, the villains are not European Neo Nazis, but a radical faction of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and former East German Communists.  In the novel, most of the Palestinian terrorists were agreeing to a lasting peace with Israel, which enraged the radical factions who were determined to annihilate Israel by any means necessary (as it's written in the Hamas Charter).  They join forces with former East German communists who want to destroy both the U.S. (their long-time nemesis) and the former Soviet Union for betraying World Socialism.  The two factions hope that their actions will bring about the annihilate of the U.S., the former Soviet Union, and Israel.  

 However, as the filming for the movie began, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed protest, claiming that the movie promoted a "negative stereotype of Muslims."  CAIR's actions were hypocritical for a number of reasons.  First, Jihadist terrorism is a world-wide problem.  Second, CAIR has direct ties with the radical Muslim Brotherhood and a large number of the organizations members have served time in prison due to their ties with terrorist groups.  Third, CAIR has a long history of hypocrisy, even going as far as to criticize activists who speak out against the genocidal actions of the Sudan regime against the South Sudan and Darfur.  Fourth, CAIR has routinely smeared individuals, even fellow Muslims like Minneapolis Somali community leader Abdirizak Bihi for warning of the danger of radicalization in various communities.  Finally, CAIR's direct ties to terrorists are known world-wide.  The United Arab Emirates (UAE) officially designates CAIR as a terrorist organization, despite the fact that they're an Arab-Muslim nation.  

 Despite this, Paramount Pictures gave in to the political correctness and agreed to change the entire plot of the movie.  We are so focused on being "politically correct" and "not stereotyping" that we're allowing it to take over common sense, and this mentality has infiltrated itself into every aspect of our society.  This political correct nonsense must stop.  Nobody has any problem portraying the Neo Nazi movement as evil and wrong for a simple reason: it is.  Nevertheless, there is no complaints of negatively portraying "White People" by casting Neo Nazis as villains, so why should casting Jihadist terrorists as villains be any different?  Their ideology is even more widespread, and it's just as dark and sinister.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...
