‘Homeland’ is the most bigoted show on television (anything near the truth is "bigoted")

A blonde, white Red Riding Hood lost in a forest of faceless Muslim wolves: This is how “Homeland’s” creators have chosen to represent their show as it begins its fourth season, which sees CIA officer Carrie Mathison stationed in Pakistan. It is also the perfect encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with this show.
Since its first episode, “Homeland,” which returns Sunday, has churned out Islamophobic stereotypes as if its writers were getting paid by the cliché. Yet the show, created by “24” veterans Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa and former Israeli paratrooper Gideon Raff, continues to rack up awards, critical praise and millions of viewers.

I guess the author missed the recent beheading. islam (small I) is the world’s only self-parodying “religion” (quotes)

Phobia = irrational fear.
I do not fear islam, I despise it. I despise all that it stands for. I despise it’s practitioners and its goals. I despise its false prophet, and the culture of death that he and his followers have spawned.

The loons are posting at the Washington Compost!
Meritorious-MasoMenos 5:31 PM EDT I have found Homeland to be insulting and condescending to Americans and Westerners in general. Who are the only religious figures on the show who are truly holy and consistent? Islamic jihadists. Christian faithful are figures of fun, hypocrites, fools and idiots; Only Muslims and especially Muslim fanatics truly believe in family. The Christians snipe and sell out other family members. Only Muslims believe so much in their cause that they are all prepared to die for it.

Actually, what is really biased is the fact that despite 20+ years of widespread Islamic violence here and around the world, the topic of Islamic violence has almost TOTALLY been avoided by the entertainment industry.

After the author of this, Laura Durkay, goes and spends six months on her own in Pakistan I might take her opinion seriously.
