The show will make fun equally between Muslims and westerners; no one will be spared.
The comparisons to the riot resulting from the cartoon depiction of Mohammed aren't legitimate: whether you believe in their beliefs or not, it is a sin in Islam to depict the Muslim. This show won't even come close.
In fact, what I hope will happen is that apart from some superficial differences, people will discover that bottom line, people are people.
I had the pleasure to work on this show; I think that once it starts to air, people's opinion on Muslims will start to change. You'll find that they have the same worries and joy as westerners.
Really gang, you can't blame 9-11 on Mulims in general, just like you can't (continue to) hate all Germans because of the Holocaust.
Finally -- you should watch the show if you're going to comment on it. I think most of you might admit it's pretty blind of you to condemn something you know nothing of.

...the Hollywood left make EQUAL fun of Muslims? Yeah, I'm so sure...

I think you mean it is a sin to depict MOHAMMED. Yes I know there are depictions of him in Muslim art (all faceless to carefully skirt that sin.)
>In fact, what I hope will happen is that apart from some superficial differences, people will discover that bottom line, people are people.<
You should make a show humanizing Americans and showing the world that we too are people. Ever consider doing that? I like how you just assume that I'm a racist with preconceived ideas about Islamists.

I love how you just assume I'm an ignorant hick from fly over country with no experience outside of my farm.

No, you have to blame those racist, sexist, homophobic Americans. If they weren't driven by blood lust and a thirst for oil, 9-11 wouldn't have happened right?
>Finally -- you should watch the show if you're going to comment on it. I think most of you might admit it's pretty blind of you to condemn something you know nothing of.<
...and how do you know I know nothing? You have no idea who I am, where I'm from, what my background is, etc.
Interesting that you're telling me to keep an open mind...
