   ....accusing the popular tv show 24 of [1]racism.

     THE hit US television show 24 has come under fire from a Muslim
     group which has accused the program's makers of fuelling
     anti-Muslim prejudice with its latest storyline.
     The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said 24's season
     premiere, in which Islamic terrorists detonated a nuclear bomb near
     Los Angeles, risked stoking racial hatred.
     The criticism was swiftly rejected by the show's network Fox
     Broadcasting, which said the series did not single out ethnic
     groups to be villains.
     "The raw emotional impact of fictional scenes that include
     widespread death and destruction in America may adversely affect
     the public's attitude toward civil liberties, religious freedom and
     interfaith relations," CAIR said.
     "The program's repeated association of acts of terrorism with Islam
     will only serve to increase anti-Muslim prejudice in our society."

   Earth to C.A.I.R. Actual acts of terrorism serve to increase
   anti-Muslim prejudice. If you could work on that, you'd be a great
   deal more effective.
