Majors' Character Issues Warning About Islam in Daily Wire Sequel Clip
A new clip from 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels' shows Jonathan Majors as a retired Delta Force officer delivering a speech that criticizes Islam, claiming it seeks to conquer the West through immigration and other means. The film, produced by The Daily Wire, follows his character battling terrorists who take over a university. It begins streaming on DailyWire+ on September 16.
The movie will become available on DailyWire+ on September 16. It is also slated for screenings at colleges and for veterans. Earlier backlash arose from the trailer's use of 9/11 footage and campus protest imagery.
The new clip has drawn sharp criticism from Muslim advocacy groups, who called it propaganda and hate speech. Majors is seeking to rebuild his career after a 2023 misdemeanor assault conviction.
This release could deepen societal divisions by framing complex geopolitical tensions through a starkly adversarial lens. Muslim communities may feel targeted by the film's broad generalizations, potentially increasing their sense of alienation. Conversely, the controversy might galvanize supporters of the film's producers, reinforcing partisan media consumption. For Majors, associating with such a polarizing project could either hinder or bolster his career rehabilitation, depending on audience reception. The discourse surrounding it may also influence how future entertainment handles religious and political themes.
