FOX CAVES IN TO JIHADISTS

There is a show on the Fox television network called '24.' The show is based on 24 hours of a crisis at a counter-terrorism unit. The same story line runs for an entire season. This past week was the debut of season number four.

This year's story revolves around a terrorist sleeper cell that is planning an attack on America. As part of their planning, they kidnap the secretary of defense and plan to take over the Internet. The terrorists and the kidnappers on the show are Muslims...essentially portrayed as Al-Qaeda agents. Sort of a 'ripped from the headlines' thing.

So what's the problem? The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) complained that the show was promoting Islamic stereotypes. They're upset that Muslims are always portrayed on TV as Islamic terrorists. (Not true. Sometimes they're portrayed as the owners of cheap motels.)

Sadly, the Fox network has caved on this one. Fox is going to provide stations with public service announcements (produced by CAIR) that portray Muslims in a positive light (for example, not hijacking airplanes, not cutting people's heads off, and changing sheets in their motels.) I guess they'll show Islamic terrorists blowing bubbles and helping little old ladies cross the street.

By the way, CAIR itself has ties to Islamic terror organizations such as Hamas. They try and portray themselves as some sort of Islamic civil rights organization, but all they're really interested in doing is trying to make sure the peaceful religion of Islam doesn't take any PR hits. Their point is that not all Muslims are terrorists.

They're right. Not all Muslims are terrorists. However, for the last several years, it seems that all terrorists are Muslims. That's not a stereotype, that's called a description of a suspect.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all the terrorists have been Muslim. CAIR has terrorists ties, so why should any of us be surprised?

[sheik yerbouty]

CAIR members should endeavor to speed to Allah forthwith, and get their "virgins", may they all look like Helen Thomas!

[MrNeutron1962]

"but all the terrorists have been Muslim".

I didn't know that Timothy McVey was a Muslim.

[mlc9852]

They never cave in to Christians, do they?

WOW an Islamofascist PSA. I can hear it now. AMULLAH satnding behind a cheap podium, yellinf CONVERT or DIE you infidels.

"24" Ping.

I believe the 'thinking aware world' understands the standing reputation of Muslims at this time. It says alot about a group when others have to come to their defense, and they, themselves, really do not. This very fact is not winning support for Muslims, just amplifying the strong anti-Western image they have. Once the Muslim world community rises up against the terrorists which are a part of their world, this image will change --- but I am not holding my breath.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I watched both episodes of '24' this week specifically because CAIR was up in arms about it.

I enjoyed the portrayal of Islamofascist scum as Islamofascist scum.

[OXENinFLA]

But they're not going to change the show though right?

[Tanniker Smith]

Nah, they aint all terrorists. That Azaz kid, he's not gonna be a terrorist. He'll probably turn his parents in. HEY! WAITAMINUTE! Is Fox suggesting that the US is a bunch of Nazi Fascists that want all good little children to turn their parents in and report their activities????

I'm worried here. We should be up in arms!

(btw, I just caught up with the show last night. Enjoying it so far, but thought that the hold-up was kinda lame and went on too long and why didn't Jack figure on the roadblock?)

I didn't know that Timothy McVey was a Muslim.

There certainly is credible information available to support the contention that he was associated/working with mooslims. Someone taught him how to build the same kind of bomb used against the embassies.

But remember who was minding the store in the 90s. They didn't want to really open up a can of worms. It's why they didn't grab Osama when they had three chances.

[Beckwith]

“Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

This was the sentiment of Omar M. Ahmad, the Chairman of the Board of the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR, as told at an Islamic conference held in Freemont, California, in July of 1998.

[UseYourHead]

McVey was not a terrorist, he was a militant.

[handy old one]

Why don't all terrorist test out they self inflected detonation out in the sand where they can enjoy the explosion in solitude?

[texasbluebell]

Well, you beat me by 31 seconds!

[Mr.Pinette]

"McVey was not a terrorist, he was a militant."

He was a terrorist.
