Fox has ordered a pilot for a new television show aimed at combating so-called Islamophobia in the U.S.

Former "Saturday Night Live comedian Nasim Pedrad will play a 14-year-old male in the upcoming series "Chad: An American Boy." The announcement came just one week after President Obama spoke at a terror-linked mosque in Baltimore, Maryland, and requested such a show.

"Our TV shows should have Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security," Obama said Feb. 3 at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, which is affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA.

"I’m thrilled to be able to portray a Middle Eastern family not working for or against Jack Bauer on network TV," Pedrad said in a statement after Fox’s announcement, Variety reported Feb. 10. "Also, a big thank you to Fox for understanding that my true essence is that of an awkward and misguided 14-year-old boy."

Claims of islamophobia are used by Islam to silence criticism, just like sharia law, in which you cannot criticize the prophet or islam or pretty much any aspect of muslim live.

For us infidels, we get slapped with the islamophobia epithet every time we dare point out what we see going on.

Or how about the hilarious antics of an honor killing of a female relative for just texting a boy.

Let the Muzzies knock down another building. Our capitulation would be complete.

Amazing how we became MORE tolerant of the goat humpers after 9/11

Using “Honor Killings” the number of story lines is never ending.

I’m betting both viewers tune out after the first episode. Unless they show this wacky, zany mulsime practicing his jihad on the neighborhood girls and Christians. But wait, that would be a documentary ...
