I think saying 300 is loosly based on historical events could be a bit of an understatement.

The basic plot is true... Spartans here, Persians there, lots of whoopass in the middle.

Supposing the movie displayed persians as being anything less than human ("Sexual degenerates and Barbarians") I could sorta see why they'd be offended. The part that gets me is this:

No Greek king had the courage to stand up to (Persian emperor) Xerxes


Apparently, the only things that happened in history are those things that Iran wants to have happened.

P.S. Isn't it interesting that no one gets offended at Kingdom of Heaven, because the Europeans got their butts kicked there. I DENY THAT THE CRUSADES WERE LOST! THAT'S JUST ANTI-WHITE PEOPLE!

There were parts that could be considered that... But (atleast from what I can tell) that's how it was in the graphic novel, and this is an adaptation of that... So it's not exactly the most historically accurate thing there is...

Yeah, it's one thing to object to stereotyping, and if they'd stopped there I might agree. It's quite another thing to say that the entire battle never happened.

Yup, they believe it's British and American propoganda to conjure sympathy for the Jews.
