I'm trying to compile a list of movies since 9/11 that have terrorists in them and whether the terrorists depicted are Islamic or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Just looking for lists here, not trying to spark a political argument.

Syriana (I'm not sure if they were Islamic or not)

Goldblum

Sum of All Fears (not Islamic)

Goldblum

Collateral Damage (not Islamic) - although this one may have been in development before 9-11

flight 93

None, it's only after we get bombed by Islamic Fascists that it is un-PC to make them the villain of every action movie.

v for vendetta

I think it was pushed back a few months because it was going to be released shortly after the 9/11 attacks, if I remember correctly.

Munich (they are Islamic but this takes place in the 70s)

True Lies

Close. You're only off by about 7 years

It's because Hollywood doesn't wanna make them mad. Then again, after what happened to that Van Gogh dude, I guess I can't blame them.

Thankfully, the makers of 24 don't give a crap. Every other year, the terrorists seem to be Islamofacists.

Team America: World Police (Islamic and non-Islamic)

Not true. The Siege was heavily protested as anegative portrayal of Arabs, and the villains in Sum of All Fears were changed before 9/11 happened. The Jackal, The Peacemaker, Patriot Games, and Blown Away also had non-Islamic terrorists.

Paradise Now (2005) [Islamic]
The War Within (2005) [Islamic]
American Dreamz (2006) [Arab]
Dirty War (2004) (TV) [Islamic]

The Bus

They were Islamic, but multi-national. Some of them were from Pakistan, I think.
