Said's argument becomes quite real when we look at the subject matter represented in this film. One must be one with or become one of in order to hold a pure understanding. Without this pure understanding, the possibility of misperception rises which in turn opens the door to cultural manipulation. Religion has become so complex and personal in character therefore, debate and conflict have become inevitable. As one accepts their belief or their faith, they see it to be the only way, the right way.
Religion is a funny subject.
The best defense against stereotypical thought is without a doubt knowledge and education. For as long as there is unpure thought, misperceptions will remain.
