Well, they could do an episode where a group of helpful muslims helps the hero to try to root out the terrorists.
But noone would believe it.
They actually have done just such.
Bauer came under seige in a gun shop that was owned by a couple of Arab Americans. I don't want to "spoil" what happened, except to say that it was very touching. 24 has shown both sides, neither pandering nor caricaturing, imho.
I want to hear Muslim groups say, "The portrayals of Muslims on 24 sadden us, because we know that too many of our fellow-believers have given credibility to this portrait. We share with the producers, and with our fellow-Americans, their contempt for the cowardice and subhuman brutality of these monsters, we repudiate them, and we too enjoy seeing the likes of Jack Bauer foil their obscene plans."
That would do FAR more to raise their image in the eyes of the American public, than all this whining.
The current show has several key Muslim characters helping root out the terrorists. This article is nothing but whining.
I American Muslims are outraged by this portrayal, let them lead a Million-Man March on Washington, D.C., to denounce terrorism and extremists. It's not going to happen, because I get the feeling that moderate Muslims are intimidated by their own extremists.
They're doing that in the very same episodes. They're full of crap, as usual. In fact, the first two hours were so PC, fans were beyond themselves, but the second two hours straightened it out some.
