This is not the first time Fox has kowtowed to the Council on American Islamic Relations. Do Fox execs know that the group has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case? Do they care?
"Fox Reaches Out to Muslim Group," from NewsMax (thanks to Neil):
The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) and FOX Television recently co-hosted a "Hollywood 101" workshop and studio tour to introduce aspiring Muslim writers, directors and actors to the entertainment industry. The event, held at FOX Studios in Century City, was also designed to help promote a positive change in Hollywood's portrayal of Muslims and Arabs.Those taking part in the event included students and entry-level professionals hoping to build contacts in the industry and seeking tips on advancing their careers. Participants were given a tour of the studio lot, a presentation on FOX internships and a one-hour interactive seminar featuring five industry professionals.
One participant, Nadia Afghani, said the unique event introduced her to the possibilities awaiting Muslim artists in the entertainment industry. "The CAIR Hollywood 101 seminar was phenomenal...I walked away that day feeling inspired, motivated, and hopeful for the Muslim (community)," said Afghani.
CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush said efforts to engage media outlets that shape popular culture are crucial to promoting an accurate and balanced portrayal of Muslims in America and around the world.
"Our goal is to help nurture aspiring Muslim artists and to act as facilitators in providing support to emerging Muslim talent in the entertainment industry," said Ayloush.
Ayloush thanked FOX, in particular its Diversity Department, for co-hosting the event and realizing the importance of engaging young American Muslims who seek to work as entertainment content creators.

I wonder if the folks at FOX think we don't remember that the Saudis bought a huge chunk of the network? The first 31% was bought a while back, how much has been purchased since then? If I were an enemy of the american sheeple, I would buy the opposition in order to insure that they were kept uninformed while I bought their political leaders and took over their country.
I would buy as many traitors (in public office and media) as I could so that the country was helpless and overwhelmed with illiterate foriegners and criminals, I would fund every middle class american hating progressive organization out there.
Anniliation of the middle class will make the country conquerable with barely a shot being hired.
FOLLOW THE MONEY!
By the way check out the new EID Christmas stamp being issued by the US Post Office. What an insult to the American people! I am so disgusted

They certainly do not want to show an accurate portrayal of Muslims in American and around the world. To do so, would be indicting. What they want is to sugar coat and re-write history, omit fact and history, and flat out deceive.
War is deceit

It's not us - it's the maps in their heads. Nothing we say or do will change things for them until we force them to reconsider their worldview. The only way to do that is to put the belief system into a fight for its existence. They will change beliefs when the alternative is the extinction of those beliefs.
We need to take the lessons of ancient Rome. Carthage and the destruction of the Second Temple. That is what is needed here to change the world. Reality is the set of thoughts in people's heads. Those thoughts must be re-aligned to stop this. Take the lessons of Post-War Japan as well. The people are worth saving but the ideas in their heads are not.

Talal's purchase of 5% in FOX shares highlights dangers of Wahhabists buying into American institutions

Saudi billionaire Bin Talal suicide bomber fundraiser ordered FOX news to alter coverage of Muslim riots in France.
Scooter, I google imaged the Eid stamp and it is disgusting indeed. Why do we never hear PETA say anything about the brutal slaughter of animals for this festival anyway?

As Tiny Tim, a character in what was a product, circa 1845, of the "entertainment industry" in England (Charles Dickens, Esq., Producer, Director, and All the Players) once said: "God save us, every one."

Greetings:
I think CBS' "Cold Case" program has already been infiltrated with their program about a Christian "abstinence" cult stoning one of its members.

in an old song:
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin, he oughta make it by then.
Maybe he'll look around himself and say.
[Guess it's time for the judgment day.)
....of course, this planet will be an extinct rock floating in space by then...just like the asteroids we watch today wondering "did that rock once hold life".....
...some future explorer will find a sign posted high on a mountain "Ban Muslim Immigration", he will scratch his head and ask his co-explorer "what do you make of this?"
