I found it really interesting that Muslims were always known for having an aggressive culture, although there was little evidence of their aggression in the two movies. I like the example Hossein Nasr gave when he said Muslims aren’t the only religion with destructive moments. He gave the example of the Crusades invading Jerusalem. All nations have their extremist and modest. He states people cannot judge a religion or nation off the couple of extremists that are part of that nation or religion. Nasr understands that the media has the ability to influences the citizens of a nation (America) by only showing the antagonistic side of Islamic nation; thus he doesn’t blame anyone, but he would like American to understand that Islam and Muslims want peace, yet they do not want powerful countries tramping over them.
