"Muslims upset over "24" portrayal"

Good. I don't care if it offends them.

How do they portray and vilify others? from:

http://www.alminbar.com/khutbaheng/819.htm

"The Jews, who are the nation of pigs and monkeys, are nothing but a source of evil, corruption, tribulation and war. Hatred against the Muslims is inherited by every generation of Jews who in turn teach it to their children. Our enmity and hostility against them is based on our faith. The Jews have never and will never lower the banner of war against us Muslims; it is a war between truth and falsehood, belief and disbelief. It is a war between the truth of Islaam and the falsehood of Judaism. The Jews will never stop adding fuel to the fire of war, nor will they ever stop plotting against us. Whenever the fire of one battle is extinguished, they light another."

When Muslims stop using terror as a weapon then we will be forced to stop portraying them as terrorists. What offends them is the truth.

"I was shocked," he said. "Somewhere, some lunatic out there watching this will do something to an innocent American Muslim because he believes what he saw on TV."

This has got to be in the top ten of the most assinine comments ever made.

Yes, somewhere out there, some lunatic will do something to somebody because of what he saw on TV.

But following this jack@$$ logic, we have to cancel all of the Law & Order shows and all of the CSI shows (as well as any of the myriad shows like them) because every one of them begins with some (usually horribly violent) crime. We wouldn't want any lunatics copying that, would we?

We have to cancel Rome and the Sopranos -- way too much violence there. Wouldn't want some lunatic to go on a gladius rampage in Little Italy, would we?

What else goes? Hmm, well, pretty much every Lifetime movie, because they always involve some man beating his wife. As we all know, all white men all across the country regularly beat their wives, and its an epidemic we have to stop. But if the lunatics start beating their wives, too... well, then its just all over.

I think we have to take CNN, FOX News, ABC-CBS-NBC, and all MSM news programs off the air, too. They report all the time about crime, violence and even -- plug your ears -- "insurgent activities". Plus, they are (usually) talking about actual, real world events (or at least "fake but accurate" versions thereof). If the lunatics start copying those kinds of things, well, they might start attacking innocent Muslims just because they see Muslims killing our troops over in Iraq all the time and -- oh, wait, that's right... the MSM never shows that, do they?

A lot of lunatics are also prompted to do some very despicable things to completely innocent people by "voices in their heads". So, we need to outlaw those, too. And lunatics are often driven to kill on orders telepathically sent by their dogs, or Zalntaugk the Ultimate Ruler of Time and Space, or the little people that live under their beds. We have to outlaw all of that, too.

Oh, don't forget all of those lunatics driven to commit horrible acts of violence against totally innocent people because their holy men, their holy scriptures, or their "god" told them to do it... We should probably do something about those people, too.

"Every minority, be it Baptist/Unitarian, Irish/Italian/Octogenarian/Zen Buddhist, Zionist/Seventh-day Adventist, Women's Lib/Republican, Mattachine/Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse.

Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme."

"Somewhere, some lunatic out there watching this will do something to an innocent American Muslim because he believes what he saw on TV."

This is a perfect window into thier mindset and perspective. They would actually react this way and so they believe the rest of us are that stupid. The TV shows in thier homelands do this all the time to keep the hate going for Jews and it works...over there but not here. We in the west are a bit more intelligent than that.

And I'm upset that we don't get to see Elisha Cuthbert breathlessly jogging into and out of trouble anymore!
