A Tongue-Tied Movie

Castro-loving moviemaker Oliver Stone has just made a new movie -- "World Trade Center" -- that is good entertainment and which has been praised even by conservative critics of Stone. It focuses on small human dramas rather than on anything political. But, even so, there is still one very strange thing about it. As one viewer comments:

"Still, there was something strange about the movie, and I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I realized: As far as I can remember, it never mentions the cause of the 9/11 attacks: Islam. Specifically, those forms of Islam most closely aligned to the teachings of Mohammed. It's like a Holocaust movie without the Nazis".
