Obama: 'TV shows Should Have Some Muslim Characters That are Unrelated to National Security'
The Weekly Standard ^ | Feb. 03, 2016 4:57pm | Daniel Halper

video: President Obama took on the role of television critic in remarks today at the Islamic Society of Baltimore.

"Our television shows should have some Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security," the president said at the mosque, "because -- it's not that hard to do. There was a time when there were no black people on television. And you can tell good stories while still representing the reality of our communities."

That is a good idea, but I want to see gay Muslim characters in the sitcom.

Yeah. Instead of Gloria marrying a Polack, she marries a muzzie.

Modern Family will soon have a muslim father with his four burka covered wives. And don’t forget the Big Bang Explosion Theory. The game show Do You Want to be a Suicide Bomber will be appearing soon on the CW Channel.

I saw a recent poll. A majority something like 60 percent of Muslims in America are in favor of Jihad, and Sharia.

If Islam was the religion of peace why don’t they run the Imam’s who are radicals out of the religion, why don’t they renounce Jihad and have a top to bottom reform of the religion. Christianity had a reformation, Judaism has conservative and reform movements , Islam is still cutting the heads off Christians, and many other dastardly deeds.

“Bones” has an Iranian character in it. Or did. Gave up watching with the constant political pandering intro’ing obnoxious “Friends of Obama” characters.

“Obama is an utter simpleton”

No, he is actively undermining Western Civilization to purposefully destroy it.

That would be out of character. Muslims are a threat to national security, period.

How about the episode where Helmut misplaces the Zyklon B tabs and Friedrich, thinking they are powdered sugar, gives them to Inga to make the commandant’s birthday cake?

Wacky chaos ensues.

If they remake I Dream of Jeannie, the only thing we’ll be seeing is her eyes . . . none of those skimpy pink stuff.

Of course, the lead character also had a part on 24, having to do with national security.
