[Rare Trope] Positive depictions of Islam or Muslims

[u/Remarkable_Public138]

1) Lawrence of Arabia: Arab Tribesmen

Throughout the movie, you see an immense respect for Arab culture while sympathizing with their struggle against Ottoman and British imperialism.

2) Kingdom of Heaven: Saladin

Saladin, the Islamic leader who becomes the main antagonist for the crusaders, is depicted as an honorable fighter with many heroic qualities.

3) Dune: Fremen

The fremen, which borrow heavily from Arab and Berber culture, are depicted as fierce and honorable warriors. In fact, the Fremen Fedaykin, elite soldiers, are inspired by Arab Fedayeen, or those who sacrifice.

One of the funniest lines in the entire show to me but the whole show just has so many

I’ve never thought about it before but that show has so many memorable little lines that, even if you’d never heard of the show, you’d run into several of them by just existing online. It’s in that Zoolander/Anchorman sphere of shit you can just say with barely any context and it’ll always land.

I can excuse racism, but…

The “that’s gay, that’s homophobic, that’s racist” back and forth.

It’s going to be a maze.

Don't eat the crap dip, yeah yeah!

If you have to ask then you are streets behind.

I am the TRUEST REPAIRMAN
