Cable channel Showtime is quietly at work on a new series about the personal lives of an Islamic terrorist cell in the United States, The Post has learned.
The series to be called "The Cell" will be told from the view points of a group of Euro pean and American con verts to Islam who are plotting terror attacks here.
Showtime says it realizes it is walking into a potential minefield by portraying terrorists sympathetically without pulling punches about their violent aims.

This is an incredible story. Should this be in Breaking News for emphasis?

This is a depraved idea! The media now turns Islamo-facism into a game-show.

One of the islamists' biggest gripes with the west is our freedom of information and the low morality of our culture as projected by the media. Who's to say that these Hollywood filth pedalers aren't at the top of their terror target list?
Fate is not without a sense of irony.

Yes, SHOWTIME, which summarily replaced the excellent "Odyssey 5" with the execrable "Queer Like Folk."

Hollywood surrendered on 9-11.
No more terrorist bad guys in movies, except for the American born and bred white supremacists from flyover country.
I have not rented a movie or gone to the theater since 9-11. I have no plans to go back.

Wow! What a great idea! Let's ask the 3000 victims of terrorism on 9/11 what they think of this groundbreaking new series...Oh, wait - they can't answer..the terrorists murdered them.

No they didn't.
Hollywood is the primary reason that terrorists hate America. Remember, terrorists hate us for our freedom, and that is primarily that of the hedonistic culture of the decadent American that our media so freely advocates and projects to the world. The world view of America is that as seen through the deviant eye of Hollywood.
The media have not surrendered this an inch. Now of course Hollywood is sympathizing with the terrorists, which is understandable since everything they do is always sure to be 180 degrees out of phase assbackwards. And I suppose Hollywood is trying to sell America on the idea of surrendering to an enemy that they have provoked more than anyone else.
Interesting, isn't it?

Raise the curtain, it's Showtime. Owned by Viacom, Showtime Networks operates several pay-TV networks, including Showtime, The Movie Channel, and FLIX. It jointly operates the Sundance Channel (a premium channel featuring independent fare) with Robert Redford and Universal Pictures. The Showtime channel shows original series (The L Word, The Chris Isaak Show), as well as original and theatrical movies. Both The Movie Channel and FLIX concentrate on theatrical movie releases. The company also offers certain programming (boxing matches, concerts) to viewers on a pay-per-view basis. Viacom created Showtime in 1976 for a Northern California cable system; the network went national via satellite in 1978.

Someone call out the FBI, or he##, just let me get there.
If they know of "sleeper cells" and have not turned them in, and are making a freaking TV SHOW out of them, then they are traitors and need to be arrested.
How can we confirm this?

I suppose the first step would be to confirm with the Post. I assume they will back up their reporter on this.

The Post is decent, but something like this is pretty explosive. If true, this is a treason case. If not, it is a plant to generate charges of "suppressing Free Speech".
