I disagree. I think that instead it showed that the Terrorist was human. and that with human emotions, people can let themselves fall victim to that "we'll kill them all" mentality.
I thought that the part at the very end where Jamie Foxx met with the Saudi's kids, showed that he said those things and had fallen prey to the pitfall of hate, but after having spent time with the Saudi, he had risen above the blanket of the R word.
see, he felt genuine remorse and saddness about this guy whom he had come to know as a person and not just another A-rab.

also, I thought it showed how easy it is to perpetuate the feelings of hate towards a people in that "eye for an eye" mentality.
"they killed Grandpa, so I'ma gon' kill dem, too."


but then again, that's just me....

Re: The Kingdom

I think the psychological part where they show both sides saying, "Don't cry, we're going to kill them all," is very important, too.
good to remember that just cause we don't like'em, don't mean they're wrong.
and just cause they don't like us, don't mean we're wrong.

my personal fave was Alias Jennifer Gardner poppin' a cap in the Jihadists that were tryin' to decapitate Jason Bateman.
