Most Americans recognize Clint Eastwood as the legendary actor and filmmaker who produced such amazing movies like “Dirty Harry,” “Gran Torino” and “Mystic River,” to name just a few.
But not Farah El-Jayyousi, a Muslim activist from the University of Missouri who accused Clint of “dehumanizing Muslims and glorifying the murder of Iraqis.”
She made these allegations after MU announced its decision to show a campus screening of Clint’s latest masterpiece, “American Sniper.”
“This film is blatant racist, colonialist propaganda that should not be shown under any circumstances and especially not endorsed by a branch of student government that purports to represent me and have my best interests in mind,” the petulant adolescent whined in a letter to the editor at The Maneater, a editorially independent student news publication.
El-Jayyousi also referred to the film’s protagonist, real-life hero Chris Kyle, as “a killer with no regard for human life.” She not surprisingly made no mention of Kyle’s killer, Eddie Ray Routh.
