UMD screening of ‘American Sniper’ postponed after Muslim student group speaks out

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WJLA) – A decision to pull scheduled screenings of the movie “American Sniper” at the University of Maryland is causing controversy on campus and on social media.

The group Student Entertainment Events (SEE) announced its decision Wednesday. On its website, SEE wrote it had decided to "postpone" screenings scheduled for May 6 and 7 "after meeting with concerned student organizations."

The day before SEE's announcement, UMD's Muslim Students Association started an online petition against the film, writing that "it only serves to fuel hatred, promote Islamophobia, and discriminate against Muslim individuals."

“American Sniper” was directed by Clint Eastwood, and it was the highest-grossing film in the United States in 2014, per IMDB.com. It was also nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.

  2. This politically correct crap must stop. As an American Veteran, I don't give a rats ass about what a Muslim student thinks.

  4. The movie does not portray Muslims as being the enemy, only what the Muslims in that theater (on the opposing force) as the enemy. It is a very powerful and emotion-stirring film and I recommend that you see if for yourself before passing judgement. Maybe the students from the Muslim Student Union should do that themselves.

    I feel that someday that all of this protesting is going to come back to haunt them. The boy who cried wolf.

    Just my 2 cents, I could be wrong.

Dont believe any of the current distractions.Its intentional to distract us from the evil within our own borders..just pray the UN troops dont start showing up. This country must go in order for the NWO to flourish

  9. They wanted / want our freedoms and liberties. That is why they claim they need our help to escape their Country . Now they are over here they want to destroy our freedoms / liberties / rights.

    Again I say "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT". We will not surrender to your Anti American ways.

    Tangle with the Country Boys that love "GOD, FAMILY and our GUNS". You will see we are not OBAMA your American leader.
    As for as you bunch of Liberals, remember don't coming running to us with the means to deal with these Anti - Americans. You will be treated as one of them.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA

    2:38 & 5:18 I agree 100%. We need to tell those "poor Muslims Students" in University of Maryland to get over their "Touchy Feelings". If you don't like it, don't watch it. I guess they like it better when Islamists Slaughter Innocent & Unarmed Christians in the Middle East and somehow that's Ok??? It's a Great Movie and every Patriotic American should watch it.
