WE didn't do this to the Muslims, they did it to THEMSELVES!

Hey Hollywood, what's it like to "kiss the hand that beats you and lick the boot that kicks you"? (Paraphrased from "Sahara" 1943. Which had a Muslim on BOTH sides)

Anyone who read the Sum of All Fears, then saw the movie should be able to recognize the truly stupid victim game.

IT
IS
BORING

I'm not sure it oppresses them, as much as they sweep the issue under the rug entirely.

Who is free to stand up publicly for Muslims, in this environment?

I saw Serbian terrorist characters on the new bionic woman show recently too. (Don't ask - I don't know why I was watching it)

Anyway, Serb terrorists? Maybe the Serbs didn't like being bombed by Clinton, but as far as I know, there isn't a Serb terror problem in the US.

Unlike the Serbs, a handful of Kosovars ("ethnic Albanians") did get caught scheming terrorism in New Jersey recently...

"Who is free to stand up publicly for Muslims, in this environment?"

EVERYONE WHO CARES TO. Do you REALLY believe that there are lynch mobs out to "get" people who defend Muslims? The truth is that there are thousands of terrorised Liberals who are eager to take their side in anything they say and do becuase they are AFRAID that they will be accused of "islamophobia", or worse, of supporting PRESIDENT BUSH if they do not.
Why is it HASH, that in one post you write well and I enjoy your responces, then in another you will come off like you have NO CLUE as to what's going on in the world?

Smoking dope causes a person to lose brain cells.

Because I'm not writing to cater to your whims, KHarn (or anyone else, for that matter).

Think back and remember history. Swarthy Muslim types were always underrepresented in movies, plays, etc., because they are generally unpleasant to the Western eye, and their accents, manners, and overemotional tirades are obnoxious and repellent to English-speaking ears.

And all of this was well prior to the OPEC oil crisis, the endless Arab conflicts with the Jews, the Iran hostage crisis, or even the manufactured phenomenon of "Islamofascism". The few visibly swarthy Muslim types we ever saw were in the old "Arabia" movies or plays and musicals like "The King and I", what I like to call the "exotics".

Growing up, I watched Danny and Marlo Thomas on television and loved them, never once realizing they were of Lebanese descent, or any other type of foreigner. And it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway, for they were ASSIMILATED, and it never would have seemed to any of us that large numbers of such people coming into our lands would have affected us much.

But the real Muslims turned out NOT to be like Marlo Thomas, or Yul Brynner, or Omar Sharif, etc.

And they and other such unassimilationist foreigners are pouring into our lands en masse, and it is ridiculous for anyone to expect that we'd have the facility or the desire to cope with it.

I don't think it's a matter of the studios not portraying Muslims in favorable or unfavorable lights.

I think its a matter of recognizing that they, like we, don't know enough about these foreigners TO portray them believably, recognizing that we innately do not like these people, and realizing no one's going to fork over twelve hard-earned dollars to watch a bunch of crazed foreigners shriek, holler, and beat themselves over the heads for two straight hours.

You can be fair to them and still admit that they are personally repellent to us and don't want them commandeering our culture any more than we want them running us out of our own living spaces, no?

So, there's no such thing as Islamo-Fascism, but the US and the Saudis are evil for funding it.

Obviously, I never did enough drugs to understand leftism.

V the K,

These days American racists like David Duke are going to Islamic countries to 'defend Islam'.

They have a greater enemy that unites them...

THE JEWS

So dont be surprised at the strange alliances that form.

"Swarthy Muslim types were always underrepresented in movies, plays, etc., because they are generally unpleasant to the Western eye, and their accents, manners, and overemotional tirades are obnoxious and repellent to English-speaking ears."

Oh, I see! Then you should bitch at the LIBERAL Hollywood and the rest of the "entertainment industry". THEY make the rules, not US.

Who is free to stand up publicly for Muslims, in this environment?

hashishfanatic, I'm sure the ACLU is constantly threatened against defending and even aggressively promoting Muslim rights and Islamic practices, in public areas, by gun-wielding, suicide-bombing Christofundamentalist terrorists.

Sample of link headlines about how supposed-to-be-secular Western society is rabidly standing up for Islam:

ACLU Assaults Constitution, Promotes Islam

ACLU Biased On Religion? (correlated by Snopes)

Chicago Area Schools Ban Santa, Halloween, and Jell-O for Allah (a Moonbattery link, natch)

Dress like a Muslim day in school

Hot topic: Muslim prayer in public schools

Islamic Rage Boy is Hate Speech? (cursing everyone is okay, but chiding the curser is not)

Kids told to write ‘Allah is God’

Michigan University Plans to Install Foot-washing Basins

Muslim religion taught under guise of history

Saudis in the Classroom

South Park: Cartoon Wars Part II (where a completely non-obscene, non-insulting brief appearance by Mohammed was censored by Comedy Central as seen below, yet an explicit scene involving G.W. Bush, Jesus and others defecating on the American flag was retained and aired)

Washington Post, Other Newspapers Won’t Run ‘Opus’ Cartoon Mocking Radical Islam

Which of These is a crime in America? (Hint: Vulgarly offending Christians is art, mentioning Islam without continual glowing praise is hate speech)

YouTube controversy over Atheist criticism of the Koran and Dhimmitude at YouTube, again (atheist Youtube user regularly posts anti-Christian videos with no problem, but once he starts posting eyebrow-raising verses directly from the Koran, he is banned and his videos removed)

Still want to complain about the oh-so-prevalent anti-Muslim sentiment?

Oh, I'm not saying there's an overabundance of anti-Muslim sentiment in ENTERTAINMENT.

I'm saying there's an overabundance, (and in some cases, rabid hatred) of anti-Muslim sentiment among Americans, particularly right-wingers, neoconservatives, and those of the Jewish faith.

And there are many who would speak up more vociferously on behalf of decent Muslims against the slander and the lies that do exist, not to mention the myth of "Islamofascism", but they are simply intimidated by the right-wing elements and conservatives who have no boundaries or common sense.

In fact, the only ones the neocons hate more than the Islamics are American liberals and leftists, and it's certainly not hard to see what the next step will be.

Ah yes, I see. The rightwingers and Jews are preventing moderate Muslims from speaking out against the IslamofashionFAN myth...

Like in the Al-Anbar province where the Sunni tribes joined forces with the Americans to fight those Islamic fascists...

And the Kurds in the North...

The Kuwaitis in the South...

Or the adoring Albanians that cheered for President Bush...

...Yeah we are spending billions of dollars on Iraq because we hate Muslims. Thats it!!!! The only hate in evidence here is yours and the hatred of Islamic fascists.

Osama bin Laden already admitted his responsibility for 9/11 and he called the suicide attackers the "19 blessed ones".

That is the true face of hatred.

Thought this Cox & Forkum cartoon hits the nail on the head regarding portrayal of terrorists on 24...
