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.

i heard a cair rep on kfyi in phoenix when i was visiting last year and he slid all around the issue of terrorism.

never did condemn it.

[muawiyah]

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.

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!

[Aetius]

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.

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...

[Navy Patriot]

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

[Alouette]

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>

[Paul Atreides]

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.

[rintense]

LOL. The season isn't over yet.

[CaptainAwesome2]

CAIR is no more than a mouthpiece and funding source for terrorists.

For the "24" ping list...

[FairfaxVA]

Muslims are terrorists...period. There should be more shows that highlight this fact. I am so tired of those in this country and abroad who show these animals deference by trying to portray them as peaceful human beings. They murder, rape, and kill women, chop innocent people's heads off, yet we are supposed to believe that there is anything peaceful about them?

The Washington Post in November 2001 asked a CAIR spokesman to condemn Hamas or Islamic Jihad.  He refused, explaining, “It’s not our job to go around denouncing.”  Asked a similar question about Hamas and Hezbollah by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in February 2002, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper called such queries a “game” and added, “We’re not in the business of condemning.”

However, they are in the business of condemning any and every attempt to accurately portray the actions and motivations of people who carry out unspeakable violence in the name of their religion.

Jihadists? Can't condemn
Hollywood producers, columnists, Ashcroft (who has foiled countless sleeper cells)? Condemnation galore.

[Lazamataz]

CAIR wholeheartedly supports terrorists, and prays to Allah that these jihadists will recieve their reward!

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

HOWEVER, the last episode had Americans has part of the plot. I knew it was coming, I just wondered how long before they made the White Guys the real enemy. I do enjoy the show, but it really is just so freakin preposterous.
