Compiled From Wire Services

Muslim groups picketed outside a theater showing the Hollywood thriller “Executive Decision,” saying it depicts Muslims as international terrorists.

“‘Executive Decision’ is much worse than other films because the Muslims in it refer to religious scriptures, saying that the Koran is what lets them do terrorism,” said Abdurahman Jafar, of Young Muslims UK.

The movie shows an American team foiling a terrorist organization’s plans to bomb Washington by taking over a Boeing 747 jetliner carrying 400 passengers.
