The game is clearly going the irony route.

However, the sense that I get from those around me is that, sure muslims are people, but they’re not worthy of trust. They’ve been put on the level of “subhuman”. Distant folks who we rarely interact with but collectively judge.

Of course, this is just someone from Kansas speaking. But it’s the vibe I’m getting, and not just from the white community.

Well, of course different sources will say different things, and people will interpret what they hear differently…so that’s a way to go. But…for instance, in Iron Man: there’s a scene where the Arab terrorists are terrorizing innocent men and women, namely kidnapping. Of course, Iron Man flies in and kills the terrorists while rescuing the innocents, much to their thanks.

This is a scene I’ve seen done in a lot of recent movies. Since Iraq became a democracy, I think America’s developed a condescending admiration of it’s people (keep in mind, that to many Americans, Arabs, Muslims, and the Iraqi people are all the same thing). It’s a sense that “at least they’re TRYING to be good people”, and that America has to beat-up the bullies (terrorists) who are picking on them.
