Muslims protest '24', killing none

ZeroFill

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/19/24.muslims.ap/index.html

Here's the CNN tl;dr

• Muslim groups concerned about Fox show "24"
• Season involves Muslim terrorists, who set off nuclear bomb

so is it wrong to typecast a group of people who generally fill such a role?

stereotypes are bad

stereotypes typically come into being for a reason

Zoolander

they should've thought of that before being terrorists

potatoe

it makes me angry that a white guy is the main character

makes it look like all white guys are trigger-happy patriots

This makes sense, as 24 is pretty much propaganda.

They can protest all they want. It won't change a thing. In the 80's the Russians were the greatest evil to be found in movies and now the easiest villan for an audiance to accept are people from the middle east.

It's unfortunate, but things like this in the media are not new by any means.

Muslims are trying to get stereotyped as crazy protesters instead.

stereotypes are bad. But a stereotype isn't conjured out of thin air.

You have to show integrity to overcome them.

But should you go so far out of your way as to seem ridiculous? Should 24 have the antagonists be a radical fundamentalist Buddhist terrorists part of a worldwide network?

I cannot differntiate between reality and fiction. If I see a muslim in the grocery store I will tie him to a chair and get out a hacksaw because he might be planning to poison my cans of Dole pineapples.

But isn't the real bad guy of 24 always some rich white dude who owns some sort of company that has a monetary stake in the events of the day and is using terrorists for their own whims?

fuckin stereotypes

Thundercall

Muslims protest alot of things.

TankHammer

You know what was funny? When a bunch of people for the ethical treatment for the mentally insane protested the game Twisted Metal Black for it's negative portrayal of homicidal maniacs.

Last time Islam got pissed off and offended by the media some of them shot a nun in the back. Maybe if they practice this 'protesting' stuff they'll eventually learn how to do it where innocent people aren't killed, then we won't have the stereotype anymore.

The previous statement does not represent the thoughts or position of Kantankeris Corporations or their affiliates or investors.

Irony and hypocrisies are not taught in the Quran and therefore are not forbidden by Islam.

My other reply to this thread was going to be a hat on the ground.

But god damn if I can't find a picture of a hat on the ground.

I'm surprised by the protest, actually. 24 seems to have made it a theme to point out unfounded prejudice and stereotypes as "bad" things.

See dude that tries to kill Ahkhekhkhkghmed. See jack slamming car into terrorist's car. See entire subplot with Muslim organization personnel files.

I mean, what the hell?

Allah is easily amused by irony.
