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."

TV these days only uses Christian characters for villains in murder mystery programs and as the butt of jokes in everything from Simpson to SNL to whatever.

Does “Housewives of Beverly Hill” a couple of years ago count when they featured a party guy named Mohamed?

61% of all muslims in America are first generation immigrants.

I do not know how many of the remaining 39% are members of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam militant black separatist cult.

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

That would make sense. 61% of muslims in America are first generation immigrants. Sharia is what they know and honor. Our constitution? Not so much.
