CHICAGO (Reuters) - An Arab-American civil rights organization has asked "American Sniper" director Clint Eastwood and actor Bradley Cooper to denounce hateful language directed at U.S. Arabs and Muslims after the release of the film about a Navy marksman.The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said in a letter to Eastwood and Cooper that its members had become targets of "violent threats" since early last week, before "American Sniper" went into general release. The letter said Eastwood and Cooper, the film's producer and star, could bolster the ADC's message of tolerance.
"It is our opinion that you could play a significant role in assisting us in alleviating the danger we are facing,” said the letter, dated Jan. 21. Reuters was provided a copy on Saturday.
The film is a box office hit and has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture.

So now, these groups, this one in particular is accused of not only aiding the Palestine against Israel, but, would not be surprising to see members within supporting the current terrorism against the west (that is my opinion)...They don't like anything accurate being shown that puts them in the disgusting light that they are....So, now they want to attack the 1st amendment here....
