I was stunned by the use of images from Halabja by the director, I assume he did not research the material for this film rather than sheer ignorance on his side.

City of Halabja where I am from, was bombed by an Arab Islamic state(Saddam Hussain) and in the course of few hours over 5000 civilian lost their lives. The actual barbaric act was not committed by the west but by an Arab Isalmic country towards women and children. To this date no Islamic state or an Arab country denounce this brutal and vicious act publicly. Even when the images of Halabja shown to world media at the time, NO Islamic group in UK denounce the massacre not even to date.

So showing the images of Halabja and frame the west for it, is like frame USA and Britian for the Jewish concentration camps during the 2nd world war.

Out of professional decency, the images of Halabja should be cut from the film, and the director should spend some of his time researching the facts.Saddam like the 9/11 terrorist use blind hate and violence to convey his vision to anyone disagree with him.
