Is Avatar a pro Taliban movie?

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2011)

Now that the movie has been around for a while and the hype died down it may be time to take a closer look at some of the more worrying aspects of the Avatar plot. In effect is Avatar a pro Taliban movie? Does Avatar advocate treachery against ones own friends and military commanders in a time of war in support of an enemy monolithic religious regime? Does Avatar promote killing in the name of a blind indoctrinated religious faith over individuality and natural human rights?
Jake Sully is a disabled ex marine sent undercover as an Avatar to live among the native Na'Vi indigenous beings of the planet Pandora. He is sent in as a spy to become a local. He ends up not only becoming a local by joining in their rituals, succumbing to a honey trap and choosing a local as his mate but also trains the locals how to fight and kill his own comrades.He actively lures his former commander into a trap and kills him. In anyones book (except James Cameron's) Jake Sully is a traitor. Yet he is presented throughout the movie as a hero. At no point does any of his friends challenge him about his decisions to "go native" - only his military commander can see the danger he is in and warns him about the consequences. Which Sully ignores and continues on his self indulgent mission of human destruction by dragging his friends into the quasi religious cult he is building.
The Na'Vi clearly live a pre-civilisation lifestyle of hunter gathering rather than established farming. Their entire social being appears to be indoctrinated by a belief in an hierarchical structure that puts the priests at the top of the pile. They unquestioningly chant and wave their arms around during bizarre faith-healing ceremonies that have no basis other than intending to succumb the mass to the power of the few. The Na'Vi are clearly violent, have no belief in merit other than as hunters or warriors, at no point is intellect virtued. They claim to want to find out about the "Dreamwalkers" (Earthling avatars) but when they have one in their midst they show no interest in discovering the virtues of human existence. They do not question why the humans want their "unobtainium" nor do they see any virtue in such human traits as democracy or equality. They do not even ask about human beliefs or gods. They are, in effect, very ignorant and incredibly arrogant. The Na'Vi live in a patriarchal society where males choose their mates based seemingly upon their hunting prowess or ability to sing. There is no sense given anywhere in the film that Na'Vi in anyway care about multifaceted emotions.
But the most heinous (war?) crime committed by the traitor Sully is to proudly be seen at the end of the movie taking his ex comrades prisoner at gunpoint and returning them to what he acknowledges is a dying planet (Earth?). He sends his prisoners of war to almost certain death. The only humans allowed to stay in his dictatorial utopia worshipping the trees and believing in the dead still somehow being alive are those among his comrades that he has managed to radicalise into his own beliefs and who now so willingly carry weapons and threaten their former colleagues, including the scientist played by Sigourney Weaver.
If a former US Marine is found to have converted to Islam and fights on the side of the Taliban does he now have justification in saying "I was just following the example set by James Cameron"?
Let's see if Cameron has the guts to set the record straight in Avatar 2
