File Under: We Had No Idea This Would Happen…
January 19th, 2007
Flash!
Islamic Organizations are upset about the current season of 24 (are you surprised?):
Their outrage is recorded here. They are unhappy and worried that their faith will be portrayed innacurately, leading the unenlightened to conclude that adherance to the Islamic faith could lead to violence and acts of terror. This conclusion could then, lead many to believe erroneously that the verses in the Koran actually encourage these actions. There is, of course, absolutely no connection to Islam, the Koran, and radical Islam - and any conclusion to they contrary is clearly bigoted and narrow minded.
Actual quote from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR): “The program’s repeated association of acts of terrorism with Islam will only serve to increase anti-Muslim prejudice in our society,” according to their official statement. The statement went on to add that any association of Celine Dion with Canada will subsequently rend the fabric of US-Canadian relations as we know it. They also rallied vehemently for citizens of the U.S. to dissasociate “clouds” from the concept of “thunderstorms”, as the connection between the two has brought a marked increase of anti-cumulous activism in major U.S. cities of late.
In a related story, U.S. Presidents are upset about last season’s storyline, according to published reports. In another related note, oil barons have officially declared their outrage over the conclusion of Season 2. Columbian drug lords could not be reached for comment.

Thse guys have obviously not seen Canada’s newest comedy “Little Mosque on the Prairie”. It makes the Moslems in a small Prairie town look like a bunch of idiots. They squabble over headscarfs, male/female issues. a barrier in their mosque (formerly a Catholic church building) and many other seeming trivialities that are funny to the viewer but serious stuff to the radical Muslim. Could it be that Canada doesn’t register on their threat meter? Then again, who watches Canadian TV anyhow?

I saw the CNN report on that show, actually. I was surprised how unfunny it was. If there is one medium where people don’t want to be preached at, it’s comedy. And that show screams “Accept us! Mainstream us! It’s funny how normal we are! You should like us!”
It seems more like an afterschool special than a sitcom to me. But that could be just me.
