While the film has obviously found its supporters, backlash against i continues to grow. Yesterday, director Kathryn Bigelow defended her film from charges it promotes torture in an Op-Ed for th Los Angeles Times Bigelow claimed artistic license writing, "those of us who work in the arts know that depiction is not endorsement." While this is obviously true, the film goes further than depiction. As Deepa Kumar wrote he film promotes extra judicial killing and the drone warfare that has become the hallmark of the Obama administration's "war on terror."

well don't they choose their path with a lot of misinformation, like if you are doing something out of fear of hellfire are really really choosing to do it?

Honestly, I've never spoken to a Muslim woman that chose to wear hijab specifically because they fear going to hell. I also don't think that most Muslim women would tell you they think they're going to heaven based solely on the fact that they wear hijab. I feel like the statement is taking something very personal and spiritual down to 1+1=2 logic.
