By the way, i watched the movie and yes, many (including non-Muslims) have been outraged by Stone's depiction of Alexander as a bisexual.

"Oliver Stone’s film has revived debate about whether Alexander, above on a coin from 323BC, was bisexual. Remarkably, the issue almost ended up in court when a group of Greek lawyers threatened to sue Stone over the suggestion that the ancient leader was less than 100% heterosexual. The subject hasn’t gone down too well in America, either, where Christians considering seeing the film were urged to “speak to your pastors immediately because Satan is attempting to enter your mind".

I do not see what the problem is. I was always told that it was a historical fact that he was bi, no? I could be wrong.
I do not know why the Greeks are all upset, he was not even Greek.

He was Bi.

I don't understand the problem either.. I thought it was a fact he was bi ? And why would any Greec living in 2005 have whatever feeling over someone who lived in his or her region ages ago ??
