PS:  I just watched "The Might Heart" by Angelina Jolie based of Slain Journo Daniel Pearl -- by Omar Sheikh Masood - a London School of Economics grad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Omar_Saeed_Sheikh

I needed to read subtitles only when they spoke in French - the police Chief in the movie was a muslim actor from my hometown - Irfaan - also in "The Namesake" movie
 
 And will watch the Assamese movie "Jatingaa et al..." based on disillusioned, idealist youth joining militants and  leaving when realising reality different from ideals. I bought a DVD at Assam 2007 for $20. Hope it will be worth it.
Jatinga is a place where Birds are attracted by light and trapped and killed and eaten http://www.travelmasti.com/domestic/assam/jatinga.htm
