It can't be argued that the image of the Muslims changed after 9/11. This movie is not only touching but is realistic as well. It is sad that people judge others by religion or looks rather than the inner-self; and this movie perfectly displays that. I mean I personally was questioned in a different section of the airport with the "random selection" every time I entered New York through JFK; maybe not as throughly as Khan experienced in the opening scene; just because I resemble of Middle Eastern origin. But overall this movie was awesome, I recommended to all, especially to anyone who lives in the States or is a Muslim. Good choice of a movie to watch with anyone, unless you are racist and you hate stuff for no reason. The story built up very nicely and was concluded perfectly. If you liked Forest Gump and Slumdog Millionaire, you would like this. Howdy fellas.
