    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.

    I'll agree with that. What was that Bruce Willis movie where they rounded arabs up in concentration camps in NY? I remember them getting asshurt over that too.

    Yeah, they gave that away at the very end of the show last week. The black girl called someone on her cell and told them Jack had figured out they broke into the nuclear plants or the computer system of the plants.

    What happened to the Arab kid?
