The cloud of suspicion was already present before this show was aired.

Muslims are angered by something? Wow, I never thought I'd see the day.
Maybe they should just calm down, relax, and have a nice warm glass of shut the hell up!

It's about time that 24 has terrorists who are actually Muslims. To date they have been Europeans and Russians.

Maybe this is what it will take for the moderate - non-terrorists to finally step forward and condemn the terrorists.

Correct! The cloud of suspicion is ever present. I'm suspicious of the guys running the gas stations. When I pay for my gas and look at the man behind the bullet proof glass wall in the gas station, I wonder: Does he want to kill me? I'd rather be safe than sorry.

This discussion is the sign that we are too politically correct. It is a TV show, and for those who do not watch the show. Season 2 dealth with a plot to detionate a nuke in LA. Season 2 did not portray all Muslims in a bad light. Look at Reza, Yusuf Auda. I also mention Marko, the terrosist that had a last second change of heart. Reza wasnt the terrorist, it was rich white girl finacee Marie.
Peter Kingsley, a white rich business man, with oil interests wanted to start a needless war. The bad guys in Season 1 were Serbian, and the bad guy in Season 3, was Stephen Saunders a former M-15 Agent, who was left behind in Bosnia.

It should be noted:
- Jack Bauer works for the Counter Terrorism Unit. Only in screenplays based on Tom Clancy novels are international terrorists not Muslim. You cannot name any international terrorists that work outside of a specific geographical area who are not Muslim.
- They did this previously and it turns out that the Muslim wasn't a terrorist, another Muslim was and he was low on the totem pole.
- Rest assured, 24 will make sure some rich European is behind it all. In part because they're as PC as the rest of Hollywood, but also because 24 works best when the conspiracy expands and grows.
- 24 would be awesome if they would just let Republicans write it. Mob-infested Democrats, Hillary, George Soros. T'would be great.

I've never seen 24, but almost EVERY commerical I've seen features that line.

That's OK; PETA will go on the warpath the next time a show depicts a rabid skunk biting someone - how dare someone insinuate a rabid skunk would bite someone...

I don't watch TV but I have watched seasons one and two of "24" on DVD. I can't wait to see season 3.
I was really surprised to see Season 2 take on this issue frankly. I have been suspicious of Hollywood ever since they changed Tom Clancy's Villains in the "Sum of All Fears" to Neo-Nazis. That was ridiculous that they had to be so PC when they made the movie. I don't think Neo Nazis ran planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
I'm looking forward to watching more "24". Heck, I may even buy the DVD sets to show support for the producers. (Besides, I love the show!!)
