Although media coverage may make it seem like all Muslims are terrorists, the actual proportion is relatively low--not as low as the ratio of Christian terrorists to normal Christians certainly, but still low enough that portraying Muslims as normal, law-abiding citizens is NOT treacle or an after-school special. Especially in America. The second point concerns timeliness. You have to realize that Simpsons episodes are planned and executed up to 6 months in advance. Makes you think, huh? What you should be applauding is the astounding number that actually critique the zeitgeist at just the right time, and not the occasional mishit.PrestonSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686829692815555435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-30864008414313215272008-12-07T07:08:00.000-05:002008-12-07T07:08:00.000-05:00A family of redneck muslims complete with a pack o...A family of redneck muslims complete with a pack of coonhounds has the potential to be amusing, but it would offend the wrong`people.togohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564696576032840221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-92075889124564958682008-12-05T08:35:00.000-05:002008-12-05T08:35:00.000-05:00The Simpsons takes place in the US.I'll point out ...The Simpsons takes place in the US.<BR/><BR/>I'll point out that if Muslims as group looked like what they are depicted by Hollywood, we might similarly all be dead already.bobvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11498316988120125641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-21813226394250852232008-12-04T21:41:00.000-05:002008-12-04T21:41:00.000-05:00If a significant fraction of Muslims undertook Bom...If a significant fraction of Muslims undertook Bombay-style operations, we'd all be dead already.<BR/><BR/>More typical is what we see in Europe: low-level terrorism and criminality directed against Christians and Jews, or whites in general.Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252946969701576139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-40286143032775185382008-12-04T19:19:00.000-05:002008-12-04T19:19:00.000-05:00You do realize, by the way, that there are more Mu...You do realize, by the way, that there are more Muslims in the Springfields of the United States that match the Simpsons depiction than the Bombay terrorist model, right?bobvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11498316988120125641noreply@blogger.com
