"you can bet that those windbag rabble-rousing novelists like Tom Clancy that need a popular ememy to fantasize subduing will make use of it at the earliest opportunity and these will become Harrison Ford movies with big box office."Actually the opposite seems to be happening. Hollywood, in their constant quest to be PC, is trying so hard to not be "anti-anything" that the results are laughable. Consider the latest Clancy film (since you brought him up) "The Sum of all Fears". In the book, Arab terrorists get ahold of a nuclear bomb and set it off at the super bowl. I don't think anyone would deny the plausability here. What do we see in the film? Hollywood must have searched their brains for quite a while, trying to find a group that no one would object to villifying so, instead, we end up with the Neo-Nazis. Pulllleeze! The Neo-Nazis!? Oh yea, they're a real powerhouse as far as terrorist groups go.
