I remember when the big terrorist organization in movies was the IRA. They were the ones taking hostages and making demands. You say IRA now and people say, "Who?" Although, when you watch a movie like "Munich", you can see the groundwork being laid for Muslim extremism. Some people say that was terrorism's "coming out party". It was one of the first instances of terrorism being broadcast in realtime on television while the whole world was watching. It is a compelling story that is being written with each passing day. Unfortunately, its also a real mess. I wonder if Hollywood's portrayal fuels stereotypes or merely tries to accurately portray some well-researched reality. Good one, Spencer.
