Well, they could do an episode where a group of helpful muslims helps the hero to try to root out the terrorists.

But noone would believe it.

I guess embracing a religion that is intrinsically violent opens the door for the occasional negative portrayal.

Do they really think it is "24" that his hurting their image and not the real suicide bombers all over the Middle East? Not to mention the Muslims that flew the planes into the Pentagon and The World Trade Towers?

Seriously??????

"The overwhelming impression you get is fear and hatred for Muslims,"

Yeah, how terrible of us to do that. After all, everyone KNOWS it's Methodists that are the REAL Terrorists!!

More people are exposed to 24, than pay attention to the media's swooning over these "freedom fighters"...

""After watching that show, I was afraid to go to the grocery store because I wasn't sure the person next to me would be able to differentiate between fiction and reality."

I will listen to these guys when someone can show me their quotes registering outrage at the attacks on 9-11. Until then, they can all STFU. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen...

Moslems complain more about fictitious portrayals of Moslems on TV and in the movies than they do about Moslems beheading people, rioting over cartoons, suicide bombings, airline hijackings, train bombings, subway bombings, shoe bombings, and incitements in real life.

They actually have done just such.

Bauer came under seige in a gun shop that was owned by a couple of Arab Americans. I don't want to "spoil" what happened, except to say that it was very touching. 24 has shown both sides, neither pandering nor caricaturing, imho.

I want to hear Muslim groups say, "The portrayals of Muslims on 24 sadden us, because we know that too many of our fellow-believers have given credibility to this portrait. We share with the producers, and with our fellow-Americans, their contempt for the cowardice and subhuman brutality of these monsters, we repudiate them, and we too enjoy seeing the likes of Jack Bauer foil their obscene plans."

That would do FAR more to raise their image in the eyes of the American public, than all this whining.
