Muslim Hollywood Event Warns Against Showing Muslim Terrorists

May 19, 2019 12:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

Hollywood can only tell two types of stories about Muslims. Stories about terrorism or Islamophobia. Ever since 9/11, there have been a plethora of stories covering Islamophobia and few depictions of Islamic terrorism outside 24. And one or two movies. But the pressure to stop depicting what has been going on for decades, and what is still happening, is still underway in the most anti-American industry in America.

On Wednesday night the Writers Guild Foundation and Muslims on Screen & Television Resource Center (MOST) welcomed influential film and television creators to the 3rd annual Hollywood Iftar.

The London Hotel in West Hollywood played host to the event, a collaboration between the Writers Guild Foundation, Muslims on Screen & Television Resource Center and Unity Productions Foundation.

Greg Daniels, showrunner of The Office and Parks and Recreation, says he first experienced the Hollywood Iftar a couple of years ago, after attending a master class with Arab TV writers in Abu Dhabi.

He says he strongly believes in the need for television writers to familiarize themselves with different cultures. “I think it’s important for all writers to learn about as much as they can just to have their writing reflect the world accurately,” Daniels told The Hollywood Reporter before alluding to the current political climate. “I also think it’s important to show solidarity with minority communities, especially now.”

As usual, Greg is unintentionally funny.

Joy Gregory, the co-executive producer of Madame Secretary, consulted with MOST on a few episodes of her show, including a storyline about an iftar at the State Department. She believes events like the Hollywood Iftar both enable her to create well-rounded Muslim characters and widen her own world view.

“[This iftar] is enriching on a personal level too, because you realize how few opportunities there are in our sort of narrowly prescribed lives in this sprawling metropolis to interact with a lot of the cultures in the city, but particularly the Muslim culture,” Gregory told THR. “So, I love the spirit of this event, the encouragement to observe the prayer ritual, to ask questions and strike up new conversations. I just think it’s exactly the spirit that we need in this country right now.”

The spirit we need is to pray for the subjugation of non-Muslims?

Moss spoke with THR on how the organization has given him a greater awareness of not just Islam but all underrepresented communities he portrays on his shows: “We try to provide resources for Hollywood writers, mainly on television programs, to help them tell stories about Muslims that are beyond the stereotypical stories of terrorists and so forth because Islam is dynamic and diverse and there are so many interesting stories besides that.”

After the fast was broken guests were treated to a buffet and encouraged to ask any questions they had about Islam. Ambassador Cynthia Schneider, now co-director of MOST, delivered the evening’s closing remarks by referencing the power of film and television to fight the country’s growing Islamophobia.

“Resources”.

Cynthia Schneider works at Georgetown, a hub of foreign Islamic transactionalism, and has been a Senior Non Resident Fellow within Brookings’ Center for Middle East Policy.

That’s another way of spelling Qatar which backs the Muslim Brotherhood and controls Al Jazeera.

    There is no such thing as ISLAMAPHOBIA. If you are not afraid of the motives of Islam, you’re denying the truth of Islam.

      Absolutely correct. A phobia is an unreasoning fear of something.
      A well thought out and intelligent wariness of a belief system (not a religion) that wants to dominate the world
      and enslave all non believers is not a phobia.

        Precisely!

        And who needs muslim terrorist actors…. when there are enough real ones out there!
        We see the truth without the need for hollywood.

          I thought the great entertainment industry was supposed to reflect real life situations.
          Well there can’t be any situations more lifelike than to show filthy muslims as terrorists.
          How many Baptist, or Lutheran, or Catholic, or anything else have there been except filthy muslims. Do you think this may be another attempt by the lying, terrorist supporting, CAIR to cover up the truth and make all the filthy muslim terrorists look like little flower girls ?
          Right ! The same flower girls that destroyed our twin towers and the same flower girls that bombed the Boston Marathon and without question, the same flower girls that killed our military personnel at Chattanooga.
          I guess there is just no basis for showing filthy muslims as terrorists. (Other than truth, that is.)

    Islamophobia is projection – it is the Muhammadans who have a phobia of (criticisms of) Islam, therefor they must accuse the other side of inciting “Islamophobia” because that is what the Muslim feels when Islam/Muhammad/Qur’an are criticized.

    This is how Islam survives: blame-shifting everything from themselves and dumping it on others. Judaism is not different – they are both based on the same nonsense regarding ‘perfect’ books.

    These are the real roots of fascism / socialism.

    • gravenimage says

      May 19, 2019 at 5:13 pm

      Of course, Judaism does not preach the violent subjugation of non-Jews.

      Islam does of non-Muslims, though.

      May 19, 2019 at 9:11 pm

      No different eh?
      Like yourself no doubt.
      Oh, and Judaism is not ‘based’ on a perfect book.
      And you are a perfect idiot.

          And Judaism has no perfect prophet that rapes 9 year old girls, and commits no crime, and is perfect in every way even when he is having his hallucinations and copying his bloody so called religion fro the Bible and the Torah. Or when he is instructing his brain addled murderers to kill any unbelievers and take their goods. (less 20%, of course, for the prophet, to cover shipping and handling)

    The craziest thing is who is the overwhelming power behind Hollywood and the MSM? Why do THEY listen? Why does the media also cover for these Terrorist?

  5. FYI says

    May 19, 2019 at 1:54 pm

    “I have been made victorious through Terror”
    Sahih Bukhari 4:52:220

    muhammed{APOh,allah prays on him}

    where oh where would the lefty liberals of Hollyweird get the idea that muhmmed was a terrorist?

    Should we tell them about SAHIH MUSLIM #6985{ “There is a Jew behind me..kill him”},islam’s call for a Genocidal war against the Jews?Or is that just being “islamophobic”?

  6. LadyTess says

    Let’s point out the obvious ..if you look to Hollywood/hellywood for anything of substance you are looking in the very wrong place. Nuff said.

    It’s time “Mohammed: The Movie” was made, closely following islamic texts for authenticity, whereby the viewing public can decide if he was a depraved lunatic or not.

    • Paul J says

      May 20, 2019 at 4:46 am

      Now that would be a good idea. Plenty of movies have been made about Jesus using the bible as source material. Of course one about Mad Mo would be R rated if not X.

    • thebigW says

      May 21, 2019 at 12:38 pm

      Muslims and the MS West won’t allow a MO-vie to get made, so ti prolly won’t be even considered for decades, an’ by then it’ll prolly be too late anyway.

      And has the intention to speak truth about the practices and crimes of everyday filthy muslims, and not the sugar coated lies that CAIR puts out.

    Hollywood touts themselves as “edgy” and “pushing the bar”, “breaking social taboo’s”. They are utter compliant, shiftless cowards. They depict Jesus, and Christians, often in a controversial light. They are scared to death of making a movie about the life and biography of Muhammad. If they do, they need to start with the literal read of the Hadith narratives, and include all his raids, battles and subjugations on the pretext of unbelief. They are to pompous, pampered, self righteous to offend. The Theocratic clerics have won! Bravo, and the hollywood cultural cowards offer their Sharia compliance by calling critics of Islamic ideology as “bigots” and “racists”. They earned their keep challenging our constitutional rights in their narratives, now they turn their backs against it. Cucks and cowards is all they are. Only one movie ever tried to depict the narrative of the execution of Uhm Kirfa as written in the hadith. She was the last Arab Female leader prior to Islamic hegemony … “The Innocence of Muslims” was a very poor production, and Hillary Clinton censored, then imprisoned the producer.

    Hollyweird got one movie correct. (See vid-clip below.)

    This scene accurately depicts Mohamhead discovering Al-lah
    and his discussion with Angel Jibrel who offers Mohamhead
    three choices…. The Trilemma concept is something that
    Mohamhead later impressed on people his tribe vanquished.

    The Trilemma continues on till this day as a counter to the Trinity!

    —————————————————————————————

    “THIRD CHOICE”, by Mark Durie, covers this trilemma:

    > The Muslim Religion. Effective Resistance.

    I can think of 5 off the top of my head, Zero Dark Thirty, The Kingdom, Munich, United 93, Unthinkable as well as Series like homeland etc

    Does anyone at jihadwatch ever challenge any of this bullshit? and where are the movies about Islamophobia?

    May 20, 2019 at 10:10 am

    Pumping millions of petro terror dollars into the As of these Hollywood Dhimmis and extracting false or spun statements from them doesn’t mask the bitter truth about U Muslims.

  15. infidel says

    May 20, 2019 at 10:11 am

    Just look at these fellow…. They do terror but threaten us infidels with even more terror if we call them terrorists.. Another Islamic TRUISM..

  16. TKF says

    May 20, 2019 at 3:02 pm

    If there is a fear of Muslims and a loathing of Islam it is %1000 the result of the outrageous, barbaric behavior of Muslims and the violence, supremacy and intolerance of Islamic dogma….AND NOTHING ELSE.

    Simply illustrates how deeply embedded ignorance of true Islam is in this nation of fools! Ignore at your own peril!
