Bump to that. Maybe Fox should come out with a show with Muslims reading Bibles and leading quiet peaceful God-fearing Jesus-loving lives, that would be unsterotypical.
We really need more programs dealing with the problem of Buddhist, Hindu, and Christian terrorists blowing themselves and innocent people up, flying planes into skyscrapers, mutilating their daughters, etc.
/sarcasm
The person to write would be Gail Berman at Fox but I need to find an addy.
Exactly! Thanks for the ping.
Well --- I think it would anger them even far more if we changed the stereotypes --- started showing Muslims as they should be instead of as they are. Show Muslims embracing Jews, proclaiming that Israel should exist. Muslims trying out Christian churches, drinking, dancing and having fun. Maybe show a Muslim family acting like the Bundy family from the 80s. Then they'd probably whine that we were trying to remold them.
Thanks for the grim reminder. I just showed it to my 16 year old son who was made to do a paper in school promoting islam. It is a Catholic school but they must follow government guidelines. Undoubtedly they fear some backlash may be coming against the gazillion muslims living in this country.
You are so right.

I'll see if I can find an email. Don't forget to praise what you've seen of 24 to date. Encouragement counts.
PROMOTE ISLAM?? In a Catholic school?!
My God.
Yes, Catholic school. Needless to say, I called the teacher and asked him if my son could do his paper on another subject. He said this was required, so I said he would do the paper, but he certainly would not be promoting it. I told him as a Christian neither my son nor I would go along with this. He tried to tell me about the "positive" aspects of Islam. I started quoting the writings of their unholy book and talked about what they preach and he quickly realized that I was a little more informed about this death cult than was he.
LOL...Yeah you're probably right.
You may want to send him the following:
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
"One of the challenges is understanding the totality of Islam. Don't come up with an opinion and find out the things that support it in Islam. Everything we need to know is in the Koran. We don't need to look somewhere else."
Omar M. Ahmad, chairman of the board of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), San Ramon Valley Herald July 4, 1998
Since 9-11, CAIR, a spin-off of the Islamic Association For Palestine, has seen three of its former employees indicted on federal terrorism charges.
Randall Todd "Ismail" Royer was sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges he trained in Virginia for holy war against the United States and sent several members to Pakistan to join Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Kashmiri terrorist group with reported ties to al-Qaida.
In a plea bargain, Royer claimed he never intended to hurt anyone but admitted he organized the holy warriors after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S.
After his arrest, Royer sought legal counsel from Hamas lawyer Stanley Cohen, who said after 9-11 he would consider serving as a defense lawyer for Osama bin Laden if the al-Qaida leader were captured.
Another CAIR figure, Bassem Khafagi, was arrested in January 2003 while serving as the group's director of community relations. The previous December, Ghassan Elashi, the founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, was indicted for financial ties to Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzook.
Current CAIR leaders also have made statements in support of Hamas and the domination of the U.S. by Islam.
"There aren't any positive or even neutral portrayals of Muslims on TV
Duh, well show women in burkas then, that will help.
CAIR is the new race hustler. The networks don't understand however how evil CAIR is, or what its true objectives are.
I think they kind of copped out using Turks instead of Palestinians.
