Whether it's a Muslim or a Russian or a German or a Frenchman, the "evil ethnic guy who hates Americans" gimmick is played out, racially motivated, and considering the time we live in, in extremely poor taste to begin with.

The "Power of Hassan" has a name. It's called 'cheap heat.'
Yes, if the American way is discrimination, then he attacked it. If prejudice and racism are your ideals, then he probably offended you. If you're wearing a fucking white Sheet, HAssan probably seems un-American.

Don't even start in on the terroristm shit.
