‘Run Hide Fight: Infidels’ Takes On The Enemy Hollywood Won’t Touch

Challenging Hollywood's Narrative

The Daily Wire is releasing 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels', an action film that centers on an ISIS attack at an American university. Ben Shapiro argues that Hollywood has long avoided depicting Islamists as villains, opting instead for other antagonists, and that this film serves as an unapologetic look at the threat posed by radical Islam.

Addressing Backlash and Criticism

The film has faced criticism from figures like Mehdi Hasan, who labeled the trailer Islamophobic. Shapiro counters these claims by stating that the film highlights the reality of ISIS, which remains a leading global terrorist threat, and points to historical examples where Hollywood altered source material to avoid portraying Muslims as villains.

The Reality of Global Terrorism

Shapiro emphasizes that despite claims that radical Islamic terror is no longer a threat, statistics from the Global Terrorism Index show that ISIS is responsible for a significant portion of worldwide terrorist attacks, making it a critical subject for public discourse.
