Jona, i agree that the message can be misinterpreted, but i have heard the same critics also for Tolkien works ( Southern and Oriental men are with Sauron, all the goods are splendid white people, the true king are a pure son fo Numenor,ecc ).
If we must worry about the "politically correctness" of books, films, et similia, then the first has to be the Holy Bible: the old testament is a true concentrate of racial odium, intollerance, fanaticism,
genocides, etc, in many of his books.
Personally i prefer think that the message of comic is that the liberty isn't a free or natural right, but it necessary win and defend it. THe Persians have to be dark, monstrous because are the nemesis of liberty nor because are oriental.
