Did Hollywood films embody the true image of the Arabs and the civilization that the Arab region has witnessed since ancient times, or did they deliberately distort it by an active act?
Despite the increasing number of Arab immigrants to Europe and America and the dependence of these countries on the Arab immigrant in all fields of science, medicine, engineering, and others, this true picture was not embodied in Hollywood films in this way.
Hollywood cinema has distorted the Arab man in many of its films, as well as offending our culture and beliefs.
