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

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.

You don’t need Netflix when you know the secrets of the Internets. Never missed an episode.

The bill fits doesn’t it?
Libs hate truth, so they call it “hate”

Laura Durkay is a New York City-based writer, filmmaker and activist. Her writing has appeared in AlterNet, Gay City News, and Socialist Worker, among others.

So this Marxist dyke writes a silly sophomoric tantrum piece, and the vaunted Washington Post picks it up? Why? Oh yes, because Jeff Bezos owns them now, and Amazon is now producing its own films and shows, which compete with Showtime.

There is no presentation which TRULY and ADEQUATELY reflects the brutality and Satanic reality that is Islam.

The entire structure of “Homeland” is built on mashing together every manifestation of political Islam, Arabs, Muslims and the whole Middle East into a Frankenstein-monster global terrorist threat that simply doesn’t exist.
The writer is either a frothing ignoramus or a frothing liar.

And my wife and I will be watching the show. We saw the first three seasons, and we like the show a lot.

Yeah, let’s completely ignore the fact Pakistan created the Taliban, hid bin Laden, and revere nuclear proliferator A. Q. Khan. Nothing to see here, at all........

I bailed on Homeland halfway into the 2nd season.
It was too soft on muslims and was taking a blame America for terror path that annoyed me. Did not like any of the characters and wished they were all offed.

We LOVE “Homeland.” Love it! We’re a whole season behind since we’re watching it on Netflix instead of shelling out bucks for HBO . . . but it’s great.

Is it bigoted and biased? Guess the truth hurts.

You’re right; it’s Showtime, not HBO. We’re too cheap for that too. ;)

What does America do to prevent terrorism? We allow the zombies to build their mosques wherever they want. We make special laws just for them so they won’t be harassed the way you and I are at the airport. On and on it goes. Oh, but 9/11 wasn’t our fault.

They lost me with Season 2. Haven't bothered with it since. I really like Brody's hot wife though...
