(RNS) As American Sniper continues raking in money at the box office, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee remains worried about “serious threats” being made to Arabs and Muslims.
On Tuesday (Jan. 27), Warner Bros. issued a statement saying the movie studio “denounces any violent, anti-Muslim rhetoric, including that which has been attributed to viewers of American Sniper. Hate and bigotry have no place in the important dialogue that this picture has generated about the veteran experience.”

American Sniper has made over $204 million at the box office, and experts say it is on track to gross more than Steven Spielberg’s 1998 record-breaking war film, “Saving Private Ryan.”
