'Roseanne' faces backlash for portrayal of Muslims
ABC ^ | 9/5/18

Posted on 05/12/2018 2:30:50 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Blah blahblah Islamophobic to show Islamophobia. CAIR praises it. Blah blahblah. Comparison with All in the Family. Blahblahblah. Have to end upbeat, because our boss is ABC and this is an ABC show.

In the show, the Connors and the Islamic family with all the fertilizer in their back yard become friends, a la Bunker/Jeffersons, and Roseanne defends the woman from the snarky store clerk and then threatens to blow up the store.

It was predictably PC, but not nauseatingly so. I have always loved Roseanne, and I managed to love the revival, too. But this episode begs the question, what if the neighbors really are making a bomb, and the daddy wasn't just misunderstanding on-line buying. In that respect, it was just a tad too PC, but the humor and the way they both discover each other's humanity makes it tolerable.

A “backlash?” You don’t say. I find that highly unusual.

No, I don’t say. ABC says, and they’re full of crap.

All that fertilizer ordered online. The FBI would never catch it if it was a plot; they’re too busy trying to take down Trump and looking for imaginary white supremacists.

Will we also see a show about misunderstood Nazi neighbors?

You forgot to mention doing the three-monkey shuffle about potential school shooters.

But that doesn’t happen, unless McCain is back funding ISIS again.

No. They’re white, so they must be racists or otherwise up to no good. More likely a show about Japanese neighbors getting interned.

The Shahada, the Islamic profession of faith, if truthfully spoken would be “There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile”.

If your nice Muslim neighbor decides to abide by the dictates of the Qur’an, your freedom and life are in danger.

Wait...”backlash” meaning the dozens of peaceful freedom loving muslims murdered by violent white rednecks, or “backlash” from jihad-focused muslim political pressure groups who won’t allow even ahint of acknowledgement of what they do in popular culture? Kind of hard to keep my muslim “backlash” straight.

Who’s left to fund? Now it’s the Salafists’ turn to start a terror organization. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re huddled around John’s death bed waiting for cash handouts.

I listened to the whole segment, and I still don’t know what they’re talking about. Do they?

Think of how many times the FBI and CIA were told of potential terrorists and simply ignored it telling the "snitches" that they were Islamphobic.

:Even Russia told us....more than once....about the Boston Bombers. But Obama was in a smart a** mood and told Russia to bug off. This was about the time of the adoption scenario.

Notice how the portrayal of ONE Muslim family is viewed as a portrayal of “Muslims” in general. This is PC at its worst - the portrayal of any individual as taken as a portrayal of a group.

It’s so ridiculous. Our heartstrings our supposed to be tugged toward terrorist supporters. Maybe Roseanne can make it really relevant by having it set in San Bernadino. The neighbor of the Islamic mass murderers saw what they thought was suspicious activity by their Muslim neighbors, but said nothing because of the probably justified fear of being called racists and islamophobes.
