Racist, Islamophobic, and stereotypical crap
15 February 2016
I am deeply saddened by the reduction of a prominent intelligent and relatively aware show to such racist, islamophobic, and stereotypical crap. The episode could have been so much more; Fox and Co could have shed some much needed light on the issues of race and religion that haunt the world today. Instead, they furthered and fostered whatever misguided hate the world (and especially Americans) have towards Arabs and Muslims. Good acting and memorable scenes were jumbled into such an offensive tale with nothing more than a depiction of radicalism within the context of Arabs and Muslims, alongside a couple of fleeting political statements towards immigrants. Fox should be condemned for such an offensive episode. The show runners should be hated for reducing such a classic show so low. The actors should feel horrible for going through with such an episode at all. You officially lost a lifelong fan.
