The movie “Trumbo,” currently in Bay Area theaters, makes a hero of Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and others of the Hollywood Ten, and villainizes their political opponents in Hollywood, including actors John Wayne and Robert Taylor and columnist Hedda Hopper. Since its release, several historians, led by Ronald Radosh and Ron Capshaw, have come forward to expose how the movie whitewashes both Trumbo’s support of repressive regimes, especially the Soviet Union of the Stalinist period, and his attempts to silence anti-communist opponents. After World War II, he and other writers, directors and actors also active in the party refused to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities about their party membership, and were convicted of contempt of Congress. The movie portrays Trumbo and the fellow writers as gentle individuals fighting for worker rights and civil rights, brought down by the bigotry and malice of elected officials from Middle America and the right. Trumbo was an apologist for the 1930s Stalinist purges, secret police and state control in the Soviet Union. Far from being in favor of free speech, Trumbo in his role as editor of “The Screen Writer,” the publication of the Screen Writers Guild, went out of his way to silence critics of the Soviet Union and anyone he deemed against workers’ interests. Though the Communist Party USA was no longer a force, Harrington continued to warn against attempts by self-declared worker parties to curtail individual rights or democracy. [...] it’s worth noting that Trumbo’s life and thought were far more complex than presented in the movie.

Muslim and Western publics continue to largely agree that relations between them are poor, and disagree about who is at fault – Muslims largely blame Westerners, while those in the West generally blame Muslims. However, in both Western and predominantly Muslim nations, there is a shared concern about the threat posed by Islamic extremism.
