Just read this on IMDB

 

A group of Muslim activists who challenged 24 bosses over the show's portrayal of Islamic terrorists two seasons ago are attacking the program again. Officials at the Council on American-Islamic Relations met with producers back in 2005 when the 24 plot revolved around Muslim fundamentalists, and now they're upset again because the new season seems to portray members of their religion in the same shady light. Council spokesman Rabiah Ahmed says, "The overwhelming impression you get is fear and hatred for Muslims. After watching the premiere, I was afraid to go to the grocery store because I wasn't sure the person next to me would be able to differentiate between fiction and reality." The activists urged the show's bosses to meet with them again, but this time only succeeded in bringing them around a table for a conference call. Following original meetings in 2005, 24 star Kiefer Sutherland appeared in a TV commercial urging viewers not to assume all Muslims were like the terrorists portrayed in his series.

That's pretty funny, I would like to meet the person who considers 24 to be a documentary.

 

It's all irrelevant anyway, as far as I'm aware they don't (and have never) specifically named the religion of the terrorists in any season of 24. The main baddie in Season 3 was a British former MI-6 agent, maybe we should complain.

Season 2? They raided a mosque lol.

 

Although after that they don't mention the religion.

The advert for the 24 DVDs is absolutely spoileriffic. Couldn't believe some of the shocking crap they shoved into it.

 

I know - though I havn't noticed any spoilers for season 2/3. That said, I havn't seen them so that's probably why. I might have to pick the box set up on Amazon for £19.

Aren't the majority of terrorists Islamic?

 

 

Spoilers:

Middle eastern muslims at first, but that was in collaberation with an american white woman, who got indoctrinated

 

Mexican then as Mike said, an ex mi6 agent

 

Middle eastern (So Muslim in assumption, although Habib Marwan never really said what he was as far as i recall)

 

The god damn President, and the bluetooth gang

 

Middle eastern for now, but the bluetooth gang are most definatly involved.
