who watches 24?

Quote from Rearden Metal:


"There aren't any positive or even neutral portrayals of Muslims on TV; whenever Muslims or Arabs are portrayed it is always in a stereotypical way," she said.

Shocking!!! (NOT..besides, it's bull$shit anyway).

While it may be unfair to stereotype all Muslims as terrorists, in today's world, is it not realistic to have some semblance of what is the sad reality of who it is that truly comprises the terrorists Americans need to be most concerned with?

I spend very little time ever worrying about Basque separatists attacking American targets. (for example).

History is what it is. 9/11 happened. Bali happened. Munich Olympics happened. Madrid happened. Khobar Towers happened. Attacks on US Embassies in Africa happened. WTC episode I happened. Al Qada is real.

24 is in it's 4th season. People watch it because it is well produced and well written. It is about an ANTI-TERRORIST UNIT! They had non-Muslim terrorists already. Is it unreasonable to reflect the reality of today's world?

The complaints FOX got were probably premature anyway. With 24 shows per season, they will find a way of finding some way to work a few Muslim heroes into the script. They've done it before IIRC.

Peace,

Yeah, Fox should begin to point out the many contributions modern Muslims have made towards advancing science & medicine.

*giggle*

1.2 billion Muslims, and not one Muslim doctor skilled enough to treat Yassir Arafat during his last days. That says it all.

Yes, when the season is over many of the complainers will look silly.

Remember when they introduced that guy Reza in season 2? They were like, "somewhere in this city is someone with their finger on nuclear bomb." Then they immediately showed Reza driving in his car and you thought it was him because he looks middle eastern. He turned out to be a good guy.

I predict now that the evil mom (Dina Araz) is actually working against her husband in the long run. She's like a female Jack Bauer, doing what she has to do to stop something big in the future. BTW, so far she's my fav new character.
 
Can't wait....tonights show should be great!

That lady looks just like one of my Persian relatives....damn, now I don't trust her anymore!!! JK! :D

Actually, I do not trust the new girl (black lady) that is working now in the command center??? Something is up with her!

Remember to always watch your six! :eek:
 
I new it...I new she was up to something! This show was very good tonight....loved the "Cobra's"!

Well another week to wait now.....looks like the S.O.D.'s son gets to have a bit more fun.....LOL!

i predict that girl is not really a bad mole. i'm guessing she just secretly works for a good guy that is higher up in government.
 
possible..... What will the boy do now? America and our hot young blonde girls are a very persuasive reason for living the good American life....LOL! :) Time for the boy to go shoot mommy & daddy, and show them what happens when you mess with his chick!
 
Watched again last night. I missed the previous one, unfortunately. So I'm a little confused. Am I supposed to cheer when the government tortures Americans, or is that meant to be bad?:confused:

Those looked like real Marines at the end. I wonder how much of my tax dollars are going into this cute little show.

a lot of shows and movies have used the USA military. i saw a show about this. the government says they don't mind doing it if the military is portrayed in a positive way or something. i guess they consider it a commercial for them.
