Watching 24 (have it TIVOd). Great show. Though I can understand why the Muslim groups are upset about it. (Bottom line: Evil Muslim-American family is really a terrorist cell hell-bent on killing 8 million Americans.) It's just like the gay thing. Yes, some Muslims are terrorists (some gays are pedophiles), and some Muslims living in the US are terrorists. But making a TV show about terrorist Muslim families (gay pedophiles, whatever) highlights the stereotype and helps deepend it - so the argument goes.

Thoughts on this?
