It was based on a French movie, and at the time we both had our fair share of islamic terrorism way before Bin Laden, so it was obvious that terrorists would be islamists.

Most terrorists of any type are idiots. It’s why the TSA can be a completely joke and planes generally don’t get hijacked or blown up .

And that there are bros like this in those groups. https://www.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/1dvl8tt/somewhere_in_afghanistan_abu_hajaar_lives/
I mean everything in the movie is given a silly spin.
Half the things Arnie and the “good guys” do, are bumbling also, they just come out ahead because they’re the good guys …
