Yeah just seen the new episode Mikz is right it was a bit week but some of them close to the center of a series usually are

[woof woof !]

TV drama 24 is under fire from Muslim groups in the US, which say the show's latest storyline fuels intolerance.

The current series begins with Islamic terrorists waging an 11-day campaign of suicide bombings across America.

The Council on American-Islam Relations said: "Repeated association of acts of terrorism with Islam will only serve to increase anti-Muslim prejudice".

TV network Fox said it had "not singled out any ethnic or religious group for blame in creating its characters".

"24 is a heightened drama about anti-terrorism," the statement continued.

"Any individual, family, or group (ethnic or otherwise) that engages in violence is not meant to be typical."


"Over the past several seasons, the villains have included shadowy Anglo businessmen, Baltic Europeans, Germans, Russians, Islamic fundamentalists, and even the (Anglo-American) president of the United States."

"I do realise it's a multi-dimensional show that portrays extreme situations," said Sireen Sawaf from the Los Angeles-based Muslim Public Affairs Council.

"But I'm concerned about the image it ingrains in the minds of the American public and the American government, particularly when you have anti-Muslim statements spewing from the mouths of government officials."

"The overwhelming impression you get is fear and hatred for Muslims," said Rabiah Ahmed, a spokeswoman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"After watching that show, 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," she told the Associated Press news agency.

The council has raised concerns about the content of 24 in the past.

In response to a similar complaint two years ago, Fox aired a public service announcement featuring the show's star, Kiefer Sutherland, urging viewers to avoid stereotyping Muslims.

Missed this post earlier .

All I can say in response to Rabiah Ahmed statement

"After watching that show, 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,"

In the light of the arrests in Birmingham (uk) in the last 24 hours ,is it any wonder that some people have difficulty distinguishing fact from fiction ? .

The shows storyline is certainly taking things to the extreme , but people who are willing to blow themselves up have already shown themselves to be way past extreme . I'm of the opinion that given the oppotunity, suicidal fanatics would make the shows current storyline look very plausible indeed.

Havining already seen up to episode 5, i'm making tomorrow a bit of a 24 night  - i've recorded 3 & 4 from last week and i'm going to watch 5 & 6 straight afterwards.

With Sky only being 6 days behind America, i'm gonna wait so I can watch it in cinerama, rather than haunched over a keyboard. God call by Sky to follow it so closely, but then, they must have lost a few viewers last season, er, like us!!!

I must admit to being a very recent convert to this programme. It is fantastic.

Not being one for watching much telly (there are far better ways of adorning a permanent squint. Several of which are actually quite enjoyable, once you get the method nailed...)

But i can honestly say im hooked! And will be perusing the shelves for further gratification over the coming months. Sutherland is exquisite in this. And refreshingly, not at all how i expected him to be.....Best show on T.V?....well i wouldnt know that with any certainty. But its got to be up there. Top draw!
