and that is the point of the movie. You feel as though the movie fell apart in the end because you wanted a polically correct ending. There is always gonna to be some loss of life in terrorist situations, IMO. Samir was a good fuy trying to the right thing. His motivation was his faith and father's philosophy(the film gave a few vague references). I think the film was trying to show that even the honest man sometimes got to make compromises. You wanted him to do the right thing for the greater good which was not his motivation. Samir IMO is a jihadist trying to save Islam while Omar and company are jihadists trying to destroy America. That is what i got out of the film.
