There Are Barely Any Muslims on Popular TV Series, a New Study Says

Muslims make up 25% of the global population and Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world — but Muslims only comprise 1% of characters shown on popular televisions series in the U.S., the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.

Those are just two of the findings in a new report issued Wednesday by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. Researchers investigated 200 top-rated television shows from 2018 and 2019 that aired in these four countries, and surveyed 8,885 characters with speaking roles.

Apart from the numbers deficit, the majority of the Muslim characters were depicted as adult Middle Eastern or North African [MENA] men, despite the fact that Muslims are the most racially and ethnically diverse religious group in the world. These characters were also linked to violent acts and behavior. Over 30% of the 98 Muslim characters were perpetrators of violence, while nearly 40% were targets of such attacks. Less than one-third were portrayed as native English speakers, underscoring depictions of Muslims as "foreigners."

Across the nearly 9,000 characters surveyed as part of the study, only one identified as an LGBTQ Muslim.

"The findings in this study reveal how rarely content creators think about including Muslims in popular storytelling– particularly girls and women," said Stacy L. Smith, founder of the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative in a press release issued alongside the study. "As a result, viewers would have to watch hours and hours of content before seeing even a single portrayal of a Muslim character– with even more time required to find a portrayal that is not linked to violence or extremism."

“Muslims are Satan’s Death Squads!”

Did you read the speech. If you are Islam I told the truth as we know it. If you are against Islam then please note the following entries in the speech:

“based on clerical authority and rejection of cause and effect reasoning.”

This means no legitimate intelligence.

“They reject religious innovation, or bid’ah, and support the implementation of sharia (Islamic law) which we understand to be violent and destructive being only reserved for the male race to implement.

This indicates they border on the line, sometimes crossing it, of being violent animals while disputing the actual religions of peace even to the women of their sect who they also beat and murder.

“The movement is divided into three categories: the largest group are the purists (or quietists), who avoid politics; the second largest group are the activists, who get involved in politics; and the remaining group are the jihadists, who form a small minority and are most active in carrying out the most violent of the attacks on humanity. But that doesn’t mean the first two are not involved with assistance to the third.”

This is how they fund themselves to be the vile violent creatures they are.

“There is no, and never has been, a muslin religion of peace. Any time a culture has to use threats, violence, inconsistent actions along with lies to everyone including itself, it can only be considered a sect rather than a religion. We have another one like it here in the US, and around the world, that made no effort to conceal its actions…. and we call it Satanism.”

I compared it to Satanism which is one of the most violent repulsive sects in the US.

“Plus as both are growing and thriving on the teachings of children in our public schools, they are securing the future of their ability to delve out pain and suffering to anyone not within their beliefs.”

I displayed a few of the tactics being used to further their sect using pain and suffering in our public schools with teaching our children how to succeed with harm. And it is all over the US right now.

“They are a huge threat to any country in the world; past, present and future.”

And that displays my concern for it being allowed to continue on this planet.

I have no idea what you read, but there was nothing in that speech that showed approval for the sect and I had hoped you would see the foul utilization of their theories and how they created a system that worked for its establishment and it’s stepping forward in time getting stronger and how it was accomplished.

“Stay home, we don’t need your crap explanations or religion.”

It’s too bad I am forced to stay home due to medical problems. If there were more people out there telling the truth, unlike the democrats and some foolish accepting political parties that actually celebrate this violent, harmful way of life assisting in it’s dangerous progression, we might not be in constant danger in this country from these foul vermin. Please read it again.
