When I read the screenplay, what immediately caught my attention was the fact that Arab-Muslims were blowing up New York City, killing hundreds of innocent people,

Arab Muslims need to be part of the creative process, and they just aren't. When (a vilified religious group) becomes part of the process, it becomes different - not necessarily positive, but balanced.

This is the same studio, Twentieth Century Fox, that showed Arab-Muslim terrorists as vermin in a movie called 'True Lies' with Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1994.

(It) indicates that this stereotype of Muslim Arabs in our society has reached a point where even members of our government have come to embrace it as well as audiences.

How could that trailer go out? Why the lack of concern? Where's the empathy? Where's the understanding?

I don't want to come off like the jealous brother who wasn't getting the attention, but it was like no one was really into me anyway. I wasn't really a priority.
