Muslims are like Americans
-
Both are grossly missinterpreted by the world's non-inclusive press and seem to be doing very little to counter this on a global level. We need an Islamic version of the Simpsons to help sway the scales.

Righto, old chap. Those other people have really made a mess of things, I'd say. Pity they can't be as upright as the rest of us - stiff-upper lip and all that. Nasty things, stereotypes. Right then. Cheerio! -c ;)
A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking.

The only difference being that in the movies the Americans are always the good guys and the Islams are always raving lunatics hell bent on global destruction. Nice.

The Islamic world is I would imagine equal to the American world (including all it's wannabes) so does that mean there is an Islamic Hollywood?

I don't watch a lot of movies, but I can think of only one that portrayed Arabs as terrorists. That was "True Lies" with Arnold S. How many can you name? Most seem to have German, Eastern European or Chinese wackos causing the trouble. And the good guys are often as likely to be British (James Bond) as American.

Indian with no religious affiliations at all. :) Basically, the Americans have Hollywood, and so the "smart" chaps in Bombay (now called Mumbai), where most Indian movies are made, started calling their place "Bollywood". Bollywood is more the name of the Indian movie industry than the name of a place, as I suppose Hollywood is (the name of a place I mean). Not to be left behind, the Bengali movie industry (West Bengal is a state in India and Bengali is the language spoken in that state) calls itself "Tollywood", since most of the Bengali movie studios are situated in Tollygunj, a place in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. The Tamil movie industry (Tamil is the language spoken in Tamilnadu, another state in India) also calls itself Tollywood. Since most of the movies made in Bollywood are Hindi (the national language of India, has nothing to do with Hinduism, the religion), they could have called it Hollywood, if the name had not already been taken. :rolleyes: We love America, long live America. :) ;P

Aaah -thanks! John Lewis had a Bollywood display earlier in the year in Oxford St. All very colourful, but as usual, the place was uncomfortably crowded, so I didn't really stop to investigate. :)
