"There isn't a single recurring Muslim character, for example, on a sitcom or drama."
What would a Muslim sitcom look like? I can just see two Muslim men talking to each other, Mohammed and Abdulah. Mohammed takes out his wallet and shows Abdulah some photos of his boys. Abdulah looks at Mohammed and says, "My, they blow up so fast these days". ;o)
Muslim sitcoms...there won't be any.

You can't make anti-jewish hate crimes funny.
