Jack didn’t become a muslim, just talked to the first religious person he’d met in years when he felt he was doomed. Big difference, and no big deal.
I don’t care for islam but I’ve met, lived among, and worked with many muslims who almost without exception were decent people. That doesn’t make me one either.
I would say that most of the Muslims Jack has met were not good people. Jack talking to a Islamic Cleric and taking him into his confidence is totally out of character. Look at Jack’s character in context of the series. It is a huge departure in the context of the series.
So Jack had a death bed experience with a Muslim Cleric and he didn’t become a Muslim? So I guess Jack is confused. So this Cleric had no power or authority to forgive Jack? If Jack didn’t believe this guy had any authority why talk to him.
I guess all the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish Clerics were all too busy in that big hospital???
At the very least this was manipulative from the writers.
My general point on this thread that I am trying to make here is that this season of 24 tried to manipulate conservatives. Apparently they succeeded.
