When I chatted with the terrorists I got the sense that they were familiar with the general role outspoken celebrities have in America but they weren't too knowledgeable with some of our bigname actors and musicians. They had never heard of the Dixie Chicks, who strongly criticized Bush in the run up to the Iraq war. The terrorists didn't know who George Clooney was, although they were quite thrilled when I read to them some of Clooney's political statements, including a comment in which he referred to suicide bombers as "opponents" who resort to attacks because they "have no other war to win." (The terrorists, though, rejected Clooney's contention, explaining suicide bombers are motivated by the will to please Allah and reach paradise, and that suicide bombing is not at all a last resort, but the noblest way to achieve Heaven.)
The terrorists did not know about some recent American movies that have been criticized as anti-American and siding with jihad, such as Clooney's 2005 Academy Award winner Syrianna, which shows a cycle of Mideast violence that begins and ends with American oil interests. The terrorists weren't familiar with Oliver Stone's World Trade Center, which largely neglects to mention Islam, bin Laden, or Mohammed Atta and which some critics accused of putting forward a theory the American government and interests were responsible.
But one Hollywood actor whose activism the terrorists were familiar with is Academy Award winner Sean Penn. Actually, they didn't know Penn was an actor. The terrorists had no idea Penn starred in acclaimed films like Mystic River and Dead Man Walking, which humanized a killer on death row. They knew Penn only as the ex-husband of singer Madonna and thought he was famous in the U.S. for his marriage to the pop icon.
Madonna is probably the most well-known American celebrity in the Middle East. Everyone here has heard of her. The terrorists know Madonna because the singer is regularly referenced on religious Arab television networks for corrupting humanity on earth. When sheikhs cite samples of the U.S. attempting to pervert young Muslims with our demonic culture, they speak of Madonna.
Some of the terrorists I spoke to had heard Penn made speeches at anti-Iraq war rallies and knew the former Madonna husband embarked on solidarity visits to terror sanctuaries, such as his 2005 visit to Iran.
I had an entire speech Penn delivered in 2007 translated into Arabic for the terrorists' responses.
Here are some highlights of that Penn speech, remarks the actor proudly delivered at California Rep. Barbara Lee's March 24 "Town Hall Meeting" on the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq:
Bush: You have broken our country and our hearts. The needless blood on your hands, and therefore, on our own, is drowning the freedom, the security, and the dream that America might have been once healed of and awakened by the tragedy of September 11, 2001. The verdict is in. You lied, connived, and exploited your own countrymen and most of all, our troops.
You, Misters Bush and Cheney; you, Ms.
