America’s largest civil liberties group, CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations), is urging Warner Bros. executives to re-title Alan Ball’s upcoming film Towelhead.

The film, which co-stars Aaron Eckhart and Toni Collette, centers around a young Arab-American girl, Jasira, (played by Summer Bishil) who struggles with her sexual obsession, a bigoted Army reservist and her strict father during the Gulf War. Jasira is dubbed “Towelhead” by racist American characters in the story.
