I watched maybe three or four episodes of that series in total. It turned my stomach immediately. Watching James Earl Jones act like some pathetic, sniveling loser was revolting. To me, the entire show felt like an anti-Muslim—or rather, an anti-American—propaganda piece, even if they botched the religious references.
It felt like the script was penned by some bitter hater of American Muslims. Then, much to my shock, I hear people calling it a "cult classic." To me, the whole thing reeks of an almost primal intolerance, caricaturing Americans as nothing more than drooling, idiotic losers.
And here is the kicker. Now, suddenly, they’re offended. They weren't offended by the unaddressed nonsense from the Mustafians, but they sure are offended by some mention of bacon.
Bravo. And Santa Claus just handed them the win for being such fools.
Give me a break—the writer and director are Canadian, for heaven's sake! And the show is a cult hit because it’s basically the only intelligent thing to come out of the USA since 1995!
