I would say to you that the villification of middle-Eastern people is wrong. And there is a LOT of it. Especially in the movies. But Steven does not do it.

Let me call your attention to something though. Something I found quite wonderful. There is a new movie out on video called Hanging Up. It isn't very good- but there is something wonderful in it. There is the most lovely doctor and mother in the supporting cast- and guess what? They are middleEasterners. They didn't have to be- but they ARE! And let me tell you- I wish that mother in the movie was MY mother. She is a marvelous and compassionate soul. And my husband and I both INDEPENDENTLY noticed this- because after the movie we turned to each other and said exactly the same thing. That THAT bit of cultural reaching out- was the BEST thing in the movie.
