Just because something is stereotypical doesn't mean its not true.
Oh come on, you guys, FOX isn't going to cut any scenes from this season's 24. That's pure speculation from the muzzy press. The only thing they have agreed to do is to air the CAIR propaganda commercials. Just watch 24 tonight at 8 EST and you'll see fiction remarkably like the truth.

I would let FNC hear about it also.
CAIR seems to have gone to the Rev-a-rund Jesse Jackson School of Spin....If ya can't shake 'em down, make the world think you're right anyway.
Russian Mafia, KKK, White Supremecists, the list of offendable groups dwindles.
Exactly...the story that I read concerning this was that Fox gave the info to its affiliates, but did not make any demands as to when or even if it should be shown.
CAIR has a habit of stretching the truth to make itself appear stronger and more influential than it actually is...standard technique of propoganda fare...
Fox should require that a CAIR representative read this statement, then they would get their airtime:
"CAIR rejects any violence or intimidation done in the name of religion. Anyone who harms another person in any way in order to advance their religion is an apostate and is not a Muslim."
That ain't gonna happen.
CAIR should be required to run a disclaimer of their affiliation and support of such organizations as Hamas each time they are in print or broadcast media.
I will watch the show for myself but if this is true, I will watch Fox for football and that is it.
Brit Hume's Grapevine is the "most intriguing 2 minutes of television", and well worth watching.
“When Muslims or Arabs are portrayed, it is always in a stereotypical way.”
Maybe WE have ream's of History to look upon ? The proclamations of Muslim terrorists are always larded with a pathetic kind of obstreperous pomposity -- the linguistic signature of an invidious hatred born of a really bad inferiority complex. Witness the audiotape that turned up recently, apparently made by Osama bin Laden's right hand man, Ayman al Zawahri.
"Bush, strengthen your defenses and your security measures," warns the Arabic voice, "for the Muslim nation which sent you the legion of New York and Washington has determined to send you legion after legion seeking death and paradise."
Oh... ok ... All the 2,800+ innocent "civilian" deaths and destruction back on 9/11 ??? One BIG misunderstanding ??? Ya, wouldn't want to have an "inaccurate" portrayal !
Immediately after September 11, 2001, CAIR put a "donate to help the victims of terrorism" link on its website. The picture was of the WTC towers. But rather than send the money to the victims of Muslim terrorists, the money went directly TO Muslim terrorists. It was used by Hamas, for which CAIR is a front group, to finance bombing attacks in Israel.
CAIR is the 21st-Century version of the old Italian-American Anti-Defamation League, which was run by Mafiosi Joe Columbo and used to sue anyone who suggested that there was such a thing as a Mafia.
Of course, CAIR's friends have committed, and are committing every day, more horrific crimes than all the mafiosi in the bloody history of La Cosa Nostra.
There is a reason that Muslims are stereotyped as terrorists. For every Muslim that takes his life in his or her hands by denouncing Muslim terror, tens of thousands are terrorists.
Including the entire organization at CAIR. Wait... is that CAIR denouncing beheadings... nope. It was just crickets. CAIR speaking out against the kidnapping and murder of innocent civilians? Mutilation of bodies? Nope. Crickets again. CAIR supports all those crimes (and as the three CAIR executives in crowbar motel attest, sometimes participates). CAIR never condemned the murderrs of Theo Van Gogh, but they condemned him when he was alive -- and the Muslim theses that were nailed to his chest with the murder weapon could have been culled (and maybe was culled?) from CAIR's own press releases. CAIR has never spoken up about the savage, inhuman treatment of captives by its Hamas wing, bu you can hear CAIR complain bitterly about their terrorist pals being (gasp) draped in the Israeli flag or stripped naked at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo. Meanwhile from the other side of their mouth they praise terrorists for suicide bombs, beheadings, and other things that -- in their view -- bring the glorious day of a whole world in Islamic slavery closer.
Anything CAIR opposes is probably good.

Ah yes, the Ostrich Reflex, we know it quite well...
Geez, I'm so glad they are censoring the show. I mean, I might get the impression that radical islamists are out to kill Westerners if I watched it.
I guess I'll just forget about that family that might have been murdered by militant Islam in NJ today.
Now there might be a disclaimer at the beginning or end of certain episodes which contain extradordinarily graphic scenes, but that's not unusual. However, I doubt seriously that the producers of 24 (one of Fox's most watched shows) would cave in the way described above.
We don't need to watch "24" to see Muslim terrorists. We see Muslim terrorists 24/7 on the news.
Bass turds....can't leave well enough alone.
I've read articles about this from sources not named "islamonline" and NONE of them say Fox is changing anything. Fox announced it would distribute warm & fuzzy public service announcements about Muslims to its local affiliates--who could then air them if they wanted to. That's it. You guys are making much ado about nothing.
