Definitely. Even with movies like Braveheart and the Patriot when he portrayed the English very poorly in both, I am still glad he didn't hold back and make some rubbish piece like The Kingdom that pandered to modern day 'sensibilities'. Here are the instructions issued to Vienna by the invading armies just before the battle. It should be interesting to see how the movie plays out. I am guessing he won't hold back and will go to try a little controversy (like the Jewish with Passion) to help promote the movie.

"You, commander of the city, and you notables and residents of the city of Vienna, be herewith advised: through the mercy of God the Almighty, sun of both worlds, (...) and by command of His Majesty the greatest Sultan of the age, who is Allah's shadow on Earth, we have entrenched our unbeatable troops around the city of Vienna so that we may take it and spread the teachings of Islam which alone hold truth. (...) If you become Muslims, nothing shall befall you. If you capitulate but do not convert, you will be granted mercy and pardon as well and you can go wherever you want. (...) But should you choose to resist, and if it is the will of Allah the Almighty that the fortress shall fall through the overwhelming power of the Padishah, there shall be no mercy or pardon for anyone; by Allah, your possessions shall be plundered, and your children shall all be enslaved."
