Is it a surprise that the MSM condemns a program which has the guts to portray real characters along with the dangerous ideology they represent? Kudos to Fox for not casting these terrorists as some Caucasian misfits.

TV Guide has the concession on COX Cable. Time to complain to COX about their venture into becoming a vehicle for AlQaida support team activities.

"24" can't create as bad an image of Islamics as the one they have created for themselves.
To: Zivasmate
And the son, a Muslim, had an attack of conscience and turned on the terrorists. So, reluctantly, did his mom. Meanwhile, non-Muslims are helping them.
WTF is CAIR whining about?

"Kudos to Fox for not casting these terrorists as some Caucasian misfits."
Yeah, especially because then they could never have gotten that great actress who plays the mom. OK, I'll admit, she's good enough she could probably play, convincingly, the caucasian misfit, but still!

Don't assume too much. "24" has started before with politically incorrect villains, only to have the ultimate bad guys wind up being the typical oil/corporate interests. And just a few minutes ago, a new white villain came forth on the show.
So don't discount the possibility that, in the end, the Muslims bad guys will just be the underlings for some Right Wing militia, or something stupid like that.
But otherwise, yes Fox should be commended for getting it right so far at least.

Senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat who has been steadfast in his efforts to uncover the nexus of Hamas front groups in the U.S., was ruthless in his portrayal of CAIR as part of an international terror network. In his opening remarks, Senator Schumer stated that prominent members of CAIRreferring specifically to Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmedhave intimate links with Hamas. Later, he remarked that we know [CAIR] has ties to terrorism.A Bad Day for CAIR

Kudos to Fox for not casting these terrorists as some Caucasian misfits You mean like in the previous three seasons of 24? This is the fourth season featuring Jack Bauer and CTU (Counter-Terrorist Unit), and the first to have Muslim bad guys...
The previous bad guys were white Serbians and a former British MI6 agent (also white).
Funny, no one complained during the previous seasons...

I thought the fan in my computer was whining, but now I see that I had the CAIR website up in the background.

Don't watch tonights episode then. CAIR should not have made a big deal out of it. Let me guess... Money-hungry defense contractors gone bad? Or, maybe former East Germans? Or, ex-KGB agents? Or maybe just some homegrown McVeigh types? No, French nationals pissed off about the Iraq war?

I've been watching the previous seasons on DVD. I think the most evil character is Sherry Palmer. What a bee-atch! I can't believe in season #3 she actually <spoiler alert>killed a man with nothing but her big mouth</spoiler alert>

So far, this is the only entertainment production to feature Muslims as terrorists. I've not heard of any movie or any other television series featuring them as terrorists. Yet, let one show do so, and the Chiraq hits the fan.
