re: #400 Charles Johnson
24 capitalized on anti-Muslim paranoia after the 9/11 attacks, and now the new version is trying to capitalize on anti-US paranoia. I’m sensing a pattern.
The villains of the first season of 24 weren’t Muslim, and most seasons’ villains weren’t either. It’s true a couple seasons had Radical Islamist villains (most notably played by Arnold Vosloo), but I don’t think that inappropriate. Radial Islamist terrorism was and remains a serious danger for the US, and shows that reference national security matters reflect that.
