Season 2 and 4 were exclusively Muslims. The side characters and traitors trying to profit from their actions were irrelevant.

Sorry, but last season there were corporate types behind the terrorists, as I recall.

It's never just Muslims on 24.

I just watched it last weekend. Marwan (appropriately Muslim just for you) is in charge. ALL his major players are also appropriately Muslim.

Read it yourself, if you think it proves anything either way.

The Chinese get involved over one Chinese national, an engineer or something... who helped Marwan.

You know... forget it. This is a silly debate. It's fiction, and entertaining fiction at that. It's intent is to be fast, suspenseful and surprising. I'm not going to let you ruin it by turning entertainment into some litmus test for your approved politics. I'm not sure your approved politics would make a real successful show for 5 very exciting seasons.

I don't care what you think.

BZZZZT! Wrong, try again.

The terrorist (Habib Marwan) was a Muslim, as were his chief associates, the Araz family. The only "corporate type" in season 4 was the defense contractor, McLennan-Forster, were Marwan worked under an alias for a few years. Marwan stole the nuke plant override device from them. But they were not "behind" Marwan, he duped and used them to get what he needed to carry out his plot.

Nope, just Muslims. Why do you think CAIR was so angry? The McClellan-Forrester guys were just covering their asses when they found out Marwan was using their company in his terror operations. They had no part in it.

Hey dum-dum, Chechens are Muslim. Muslim does not mean Arab. Arab does not mean Muslim. The people we have seen so far are Chechen Muslim terrorists whose beef is with the Russian occupation of their homeland.

Try paying attention. Just cause someone looks white, it doesn't mean they aren't Muslim.
