... Might the end of Homeland also mark the end of an Islamophobic TV era? Certainly, US television networks and showrunners have begun to take note of Muslim concerns.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all. It appears to me, that Islam is the defacto state religion, chosen by the government and libtards in general. I wonder why?

“TV is fantasy, so they can have muslim good guys.”

True. BUT TV is also a medium of influential fantasy.

Playing against stereotype; how fricking original. That’s about as novel as my cat licking his pootis.

Islam is NOT a “religion”. It is a THEOCRACY. Very important!

I cringe every time I watch tv (hardly ever watch it) because all of the commercials and programs are so unrealistic and pc. Seldom see a wise Caucasian. Sick of seeing companies pander to the various minorities and perversions.

“The FBI” has a Muslim as one of two main characters. Virtue signaling by the producers.

I think, that to the uninformed, or the willfully ignorant, it’s a religion. I have always thought it, as a death cult, masquerading as a religion.
