American-Arab Committee Offended By HBO Movie

By Newsradio 88 Staff

When HBO debuts its movie about the terrorists who tried to blow up the World Trade Center tomorrow night, it will also air a disclaimer that the movie doesn't reflect the beliefs of most Muslims and Arabs.

But that's not good enough for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

After seeing a screening of "Path to Paradise: The Untold Story of the World Trade Center Bombing,"members of the group said it will "stand the test of time as one of T-V's most racist movies."

The group says every Muslim or Arab in the movie is an "ugly stereotype."
