From the blog post at: http://wp.me/p3xSxU-1op American Sniper has caused a major controversy in America, with right wingers calling for the rape or death of anyone ungrateful enough to criticise the actions of its 'hero' Chris Kyle. The 'war' breaking out across social media has been exacerbated by some basic historical inaccuracies in the film's storyline which appear to have been made to appeal to the 'simplistic patriots' but have had the effect of stoking an already raised atmosphere of Islamophobia.
