Muslims are involved in like 97% of the shooting wars on the planet, and about 99% of the terrorist attacks of the last thirty years have been committed by fanatic Islamic Arab males between the ages of 18 and 45, but no, we can't portray them in a negative light now can we?
TV spots that portray Muslims in a favorable way
I'm still looking for some that act in a favorable way...

"base their perception of Islam and Muslims from what they see on TV" I recall a certain day which helped form my opinion of said group whilst I watched the television: September 11, 2001.
Please note: Not all Arabs are Muslims! Islam is a (reported) religion, Arab is a race.

Meanwhile, Arab TV is reporting that the US and Israel caused the tsunami.
You've gotta be kidding? Some people out there probably believe that too.

Nope, not kidding. There are a bunch of threads around here on the subject.

Yeah, but if it weren't for the Crusades and the Jews then Muslim nations would be the light of the world!

The portrayal of Muslims as terrorists on TV is no different than the movies made after WW2, Korean War or
Viet Namh. Movie writers need themes, and Osama Obama, er,
Obama Bin...er, just ask Teddy Kennedy. He may not remember
the names, but he knows 'em for what they are. Notice how he differentiates, obfuscates, bloviates, stereotypes and
generally sees the world from an alcohol-soaked brain. He
has to have talking points to remember what he's supposed to rant and rave on. Lacking Shrum's coaching could make
him the most dangerous obese old Liberal in the Democraptic
Party. Does Teddy think our memory is short, impaired or
lost? Chappaquidic....Mary Jo....leaving the scene of an
accident....failure to render aid. The florid flatulent
exhibition on National Press Club was a hoot.

If you're really concerned about bad PR-putting the brakes on the beheading videos could be a good start!Doesn't work for me!
These idiots will want brownie points for not videotaping the beheadings!
How about "putting the brakes on beheadings" could be a good start...

***A Fox spokesman said it would provide public service announcements sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations to its affiliate stations.***
Now, what could CAIR say on these spots to endear them to us? Maybe ..."We're getting the 'ell out of the US?" Maybe...."Here's a map to all the sleeper cells in the US" Maybe....."an X marking the cave Osama is hiding in".
Or maybe not.

No, I think the villains in that season turned out to be some evil consortium of oil tycoons, or something like that.

I'm sure there have been plenty of positive portrayals of Christians on television -- just so long as they were Christians who believed in gay marriage, abortion on demand, radical feminism, and weren't so adamant that Jesus is God the Son.

You're right! The only reason that I can imagine for the omission of shooting the Pope is that he-the Pope-is probably a Christian and therefore his shooting wouldn't be worth mentioning because the implication may well pizz off some innocent mooslims.

Awesome post #65.
Never forget who the enemy of all mankind is. I cannot believe these monsters are infesting many of our major cities. I cannot believe that the networks are sucking up to such an evil entity as CAIR.
