What values should Hollywood promote? [My first choice] would be Hollywood admitting that the greatest danger to civilization itself right now is jihad and jihadists. Hollywood should confront that the way they confronted the Nazi threat and the imperial Japanese threat.I don't watch "Homeland" either. Claire Danes' character is implausible, and she cries way too much.
Don’t you watch “Homeland”?
I don’t like the show. I simply found the relationship between Claire Danes’ character and the British actor dopey. I didn’t believe it. It was more of a narrative problem than a political problem.
In your article, you sound kind of peeved recalling a time when a studio hired you to write a script for a film (that ultimately didn’t get made) with the caveat: “Don’t malign all Muslims.” Isn’t that a reasonable request?
If you read the script, you would see that there were sympathetic Muslims within the movie. One of the characters was quite heroic, as a matter of fact. The problem is CAIR [the Council on American-Islamic Relations], which is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood. Their position is clear and unequivocal: No Muslim should ever be presented as a terrorist. Period. End of story.
As for CAIR's position: they're all about the "social justice," which in its own way is as implausible as Danes's Carrie Mathison.
