So, this is just strange: the Muslim rights group Project Islamic Hope is demanding an apology from X2 director Bryan Singer after noticing that General Stryker, the movie's villian, wears a ring inscribed with the Islamic symbol for Allah. (The most complete account of the controversy can be found here.) The ring is visible in one shot of the movie; otherwise, General Stryker doesn't come off as much of a Muslim. As a representative of Project Islamic Hope says, "We feel this is a subtle but obvious attack on Islam."
Yes, it's pretty subtle.
