The Hamburg Cell

aka.alias in her blog, has a post of the Hamburg Cell -- a new movie that is currently making the film festival circuit (not Toronto). The film chronicles the events leading up to the horror of 9/11, but depicts the story from the terrorists perspective. I can already hear the protests starting, but I agree with the post -- if we don't allow ourselves to respond to Muslim fundamentalists with something other than hate, we condemn ourselves to repeat history -- and defile the memories of those who lost their lives in the attack. If we don't stop with revenge motivated responses, it will never end. I'm not saying forgive the guilty (on either side) -- hunt bin Laden down and put a bullet in his head; prosecute the US soldiers that tortured the innocents in Abu Ghurayb -- but don't condemn every Arab, every Muslim, or every US soldier, at the same time.
