Missed another show last night, and have no idea what's going on with the plot. Oy. I can't get used to the new schedule.

The evil white guy in last night's show, near the end, didn't appear to be a real military guy, even though he had the AF haircut down. He just had the uniform. Yeah, it was odd to see the muslim gunstore owners. I wonder if there are any in the US?

I watched some of the first season, but I thought it was stupid so I quit watching. I hate being a quitter, but I was sure there was something I could do more productive with that hour.

While 24 definitely goes the PC route from time to time (I agree) - It is simply silly and wrong for you to suggest there are NO pro-American Arabs living in America.

Go to Dearborn, MI you will see thousands and thousands there alone -

Has the Arab community been as vocal as we might like - probably not - (but at the same time the MSM does not want to show that image of Arabs supporting our efforts....so that alone helps stop many pro-American Arab voices from being heard.)

I thought I might be alone in sensing a change of direction in the show from reality to creative fiction---- It is good to know that I am not alone

"I, for one, have not heard a single Arab-American stand up publicly and say that they denounce Islamic terrorism and are willing to stand up with their American brothers to fight this scourge on civilized society."

Then you haven't been paying attention.

I am sure there are plenty of patriotic Arab Americans. For one, there are thousands of Iraqi Americans who adore this country and GWB. There are also alot of Iranian Americans who feel the same way (Yeah, I know, they are Persians, not Arabs, but ya know what I mean).

You and Beck sure got up on the wrong side of the bed last night. I know patriotic Arabs and I thought it was a good episode last night.

Note - show has taken a turn where white evil defence contractors are the real bad guys now. Notice that muslims wanting to help Jack and Paul were not shooting at other muslims, they were shooting at mercenaries of defence contractors. Fox caved big-time on this PC crap, and went for the re-make of Manchurian Candidate direction of evil white big business is the problem, not islamic terrorists.

"I, for one, have not heard a single Arab-American stand up publicly and say that they denounce Islamic terrorism and are willing to stand up with their American brothers to fight this scourge on civilized society."

This guy must live a very sheltered life and not know many Arab-Americans.

There is a problem that too few Muslims are willing to speak out against terrorism by fanatic Muslims. I can't deny that.

However, I know a number of Arab-Americans from work, and none of them are anti-American. I don't honestly know if they are Muslims or not.

The problem with too many Muslims being unwilling to speak out against terrorism is also not a strictly Arab problem either.

You write: "I, for one, have not heard a single Arab-American stand up publicly and say that they denounce Islamic terrorism and are willing to stand up with their American brothers to fight this scourge on civilized society."

I am sorry you feel that way because I have met many pro-American Arabs, and I work with some. They are here because they wanted a better life for their families. To be fair I may not have a fair sampling, the Arabs I have met live in suburban USA—working professionals, kids in school/college—a very reasonable and well educated group. I have not come across the large, Arab activist groups that others describe living in Michigan and the East Coast.

Well, I gues I better stop watching then because there is no way, no way on Earth that any White people would EVER consider working with Arab Terrorists against America. It just couldn't happen. Nope. Never. I mean, to even think that it could is the height of POlitical Correctness. And to even present the idea that any arab in this country would actually love this country to the point of helping protect it is so stupid as to defy all logic...

(In case you couldnt' tell, I'm being really sarcastic in response to your idiotic thread...)

What's with all the capitalization? Reminds me of the classic:
UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED, ESPECIALLY to COMPUTER BULLETIN BOARDS.

I was one of those that did give "24" a look after all the praise & promoting by Mr. Beck.

By injecting traitorous Americans and American-loving muslims into their false thesis of Not All Terrorist Are muslims, the show loses all credibility and now looks like Scottie Ritter was the producer!
