(AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE) — Muslims are facing increased threats in the United States after the release of the movie “American Sniper,” an American-Arab organization said in letters to director Clint Eastwood and star Bradley Cooper.
In the open letters released earlier this week, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said there has been a spike in violent threats against Muslims due to the film that portrays the story of an American sniper during the Iraq war.
“A majority of the violent threats we have seen over the past few days are (a) result of how Arab and Muslims are depicted in American Sniper,” the ADC said.
