Monday January 29, 2007
Categories: Television
It couldn't have gotten any worse on "24" when the first of five nuclear bombs was detonated, presumably by Muslim terrorists. And so the eagerly anticipated season began, with Muslim extremists as the villain this time around. There's been a...

I agree with you. As an African-American man, I'm quite familiar with people who would think of us as bad because of the way we look. As for racial profiling, you don't really want to get me started. I don't like for anyone to have a bad reputation because of the color of their skin, but it happens. As with the show, we also see that you have some Whites acting as puppetmasters, pulling the heart strings of those who want us to believe that Muslims are the only villians. Everything is not what it appears to be, and if you watch the show, you will see who the true villians are. I hope the show stays on for a long time. I'm definitely hooked!
i also agree that 24 has ADDED whites as villians just 2 have us calmed.But we all know what their after........
Unfortunately, many adults use television and music to guide their reality. Especially, in America the thinking is "I heard it on TV" or I "read it in the paper" it has to be true. Sadly, people believe what they see and these images send a very powerful message one that the majority already agree with. May Allah (SWT) guide us all and save us from the chastisement of ourselves and the torment of the hell fire. Ameen
I am aware of Muslim's/Islam---which is/has grown big time in the US---There could be a Muslim President someday!!! My question, Muslim is a people, whose Religion is Islam---right/for some reason this is very confusing it's like saying Muslim, is the same as saying Islam???
The problem is that 24 and shows like it rarely show Muslims in a positive light. We only see them as terrorists. There are millions of Muslims who decry terrorism. Where are they on TV?
where are the muslims decrying 911? where are they decrying the beheading of our people overseas? i believe that all muslins are not bad BUT i dont see any of the clerics getting mad about the above things. i am white and proud of it. my black friends have made me an honorary africa-american and gave me a certificate showing that which i am very proud of. if you are proud of your race you need to say so.if you are proud of who you are show it in the best light.if someone from your race or religon get on their case and tell them to stop doing what they are doing and help get them under control.people who do bad things need HELP.if you say nothing then it is like you are agreeing with them and it is like go and do more.like some of the other comments say when somebody does bad they [the people who are like them in color and being from the same country they are]get shown as bad on tv.it is not right but that is the way it is. until man can get his actions right then expect badness to happen.
