Muslims Angry Over Violent Portrayal, Low Kill Count On “24″
Muslim rights groups have responded with outrage over what they feel are inaccuracies in the portrayal of their religion on the hit Fox television series “24″. In a recent episode, an Islamic extremist cell detonated a suitcase-sized nuclear device in Valencia, California, 26 miles north of Los Angeles, causing an estimated 12,000 deaths.
“I was frightened and stunned after watching this show,” said Rabiah Ahmed, a spokesman for the Washington-based Council on American Islamic Relations. “Frightened because the average American may not be able to differentiate between truth and reality and may take out their basest, most violent cowboy urges on me- a devout practitioner of the religion of peace. I was stunned because all of our estimates show that a suitcase nuke placed in Valencia would kill at least 20,000 -25,000 with another half a million dead within a year from the fallout.”
“24″ producers say they have gone out of their way to send the message that all Muslims are not blood-thirsty terrorists.
“When we met with CAIR last year, we all agreed that twenty ‘not all Muslims are violent’ disclaimers- played before, after, and on commercial breaks- per episode would suffice,” said ‘24′ spokesman David Bilkman. “We’ve since added another 40-50 disclaimers within the dialogue of each episode! I’m not sure what the problem is.”
Bilkman also cited the fact that the show’s producers have made it a point to have non-Muslim terror cells on ‘24′.
“I’m not sure what else we can do to show our understanding and respect for Islam,” said Bilkman. “We had the Russian separatists as the bad guys last year, and we have a few surprise terror cells for next season as well. I can’t give away too much, but let’s just say that you can expect Norwegians and kindergarten-aged children with Downs Syndrome to come under a bit more scrutiny at airports in ‘08.”

Awwwww. Those poor misjudged muslim nutjobs. I can clearly see where they would feel cheated by so few deaths….
“…all of our estimates show that a suitcase nuke placed in Valencia would kill at least 20,000 -25,000 with another half a million dead within a year from the fallout.”
He was stunned, he says, by the inaccuracy. Apparently, CAIR has been estimating how many people would die via suitcase nuke in places as unlikely as Valencia, CA. “All our estimates,” seems to indicate they’ve done several.
Why would they be estimating things like that?
There are all kinds of widely available estimates about LA proper, which serve to illustrate the potential devastation of a suitcase nuke in a populated city.
But Valencia? An estimate like that sounds like the result of strategic planning. I “wonder” if they have accurate estimates for the other burbs of LA as well…
Why do we allow organizations like this to fool us so easily? It’s almost like we WANT to be destroyed…
