    not quite accurate , George Habash is a Palestinian pioneer of resistance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Habash, he was Christian and without the help of Amal(Hezbollah original Militia ) ,Israel would not had defeated him ,unlike Bin Laden among others ,no one had questioned his legacy if he's a Mossad or CIA's secret agent

    "war is the terrorism of the rich. Terrorism is the war of the poor." David was running guerrilla tactics in capturing Gath. M'fer was so hardcore that david makes cameos in the Quran. Cherished by all.

    After what the jewish brotherhood has dealt with throughout history, I can't blame them for always being on high alert.
    Same thing for the middle east, everyone from the soviets to the U.S have attempted and succeeded in exploiting their resources. You can only take so much.
    The problem is when you cross the line and start targeting innocent civilians that can't defend themselves. It then becomes cowardice which is what the islamic extremists are, cowards.

    Just like ISIS
    ISIah 13:15_18
    Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes.

    The difference, of course, is that modern Christians and Jews are not still going on with prophecy about the fall of Babylon....which is what you were quoting, because it already happened. Another big difference is that the prophecy was about what a 3rd party (Medes or Persia) was going to do, not instructions for their followers. I'm sure you knew that though.

    To be fair, many of the violent verses in the Quran can be justified with the same argument as many of them are just recollections of battles.

    Pure primitiveness, there's no shortage of examples of very sick materials in both new and old testament and the best excuse is :none of that crap had been written in the original unaltered scriptures , it was modified by ISIS-crusaders alike individuals with little to none of the acceptable verification , Paul who had written more than half the gospels took pride of lying and deceiving other people

    which narrative is going to be used ! anti-Muhammed or from Quran, if its from Quran then there is not much materials or personalization of him in Quran, if the narrative is driven from hadith, then muslims are having similar issues with hadith authentication like Christianity , it was collected 2 centuries after his death, subjected to all personal/political/sectarian influences and agendas ,every sector of muslims have their own trusted hadiths

    last but not least, will he be misrepresented by a blue eyes actor like in Jesus case! and yea mainstream muslims aren't flattered to play Moses/Jesus in films ,they means much more than box office hit.

    btw , I haven't watched any movie that represents religious figures ,it's either glorified or distorted and far from the true reflection
