The film is called "Zohan, Don’t Mess with Palestinians."

"We thought the movie was appropriate during a time where another movie glorifying the Israeli soldiers is being shown," said Tarek Ayoub, spokesman for MuslimBridges, a nonprofit organization working to build bridges between Muslims and non-Muslims.

"The essence of the movie is glorification of the Israeli soldiers. We felt it’s propaganda to show the Israeli soldier as very capable and gain sympathy for the Israeli solider."

The counter movie was produced and given to MuslimBridges to post on its Web site, Ayoub said.

In about six minutes, the movie shows a well-trained woman fighting resistance.

But the Sandler movie doesn’t degrade Palestinians and, in fact, it pokes fun at both rivals’ cultures, an individual said in an online discussion as a response to MuslimBridges’ concerns.

"The movie is funny and has a great message throughout," read the e-mail.

"The message is that the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians is futile. The message is that both sides hurt each other.

"The message is that they are the same people. The message is that of peace and that peace is the only way," the e-mail read.

Ayoub, who did not watch "Don’t Mess with the Zohan," said this opinion reflects a person with "a gracious heart and positive intentions.

"But often there’s a sense of optimism that only sees the positive aspects as opposed to what’s between the lines," Ayoub said.

MuslimBridges is asking for an official apology from Sandler.

The organization is also asking that all profits be donated to Muslim and Christian organizations helping orphans in Palestine.
