I haven't seen the film Hidalgo, so I don't know if the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is correct that it "may contain scenes and dialogue that would serve to stereotype Muslims and Arabs and create a negative impression of Islam in the minds of moviegoers." Judging from [1] my own interactions with CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper, as well as the [2] lingering unanswered questions about CAIR's ties to Islamic extremism, however, I would tend to give the film the benefit of the doubt.

Twostellas, who sent me this [3] Arab News piece about CAIR's tangle with Disney, had the best comment of all on this matter: "CAIR better be careful, they are now messing with an organization more ruthless than their own."
