When I first started seeing ads on television for new Hollywood movie about the Crusades, I groaned inside. But as I'm reading more about the publicity things are starting to get more complex. Yesterday I'd heard that Christian conservatives were critical of the movie. But today I find out that Khaled Abu el-Fadl also didn't like the film and neither do some unnamed "Islamic extremists". On the other hand CAIR seemed happy with the film and called it "balanced". From what I gather, the film is probably fairly sympathetic to Muslims (given the subject matter and the current political climate), but there's no pleasing some folks.
On the other hand, I haven't yet seen the movie so what do I know.

I waited 2 months for the movie to be released and on May 6, I watched it.
I had braced myself for the worst. Instead it turned out to be a pleasent experiance. I would recommend people to go and watch, if they are interested.
