The Oscar-nominated movie "American Sniper" about an elite US Navy Seal is an example of anti-Islam propaganda, Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei was reported on Tuesday as saying. Veteran actor-director Clint Eastwood's film, which was released on December 25 and has garnered six Oscar nominations, tells the story of Chris Kyle's four tours in Iraq as a sniper. Kyle, played by Bradley Cooper in the movie, is officially credited with killing 160 people in Iraq. "This 'Sniper' film which has made so much noise... encourages a young person, for example a Christian or non-Muslim, to harass a Muslim as much as possible," the official IRNA news agency quoted Khamenei as saying.
