Muslim Star Wars actor: Put Muslims on TV or they will join ISIS

JihadWatch: “Ahmed urged television producers to embrace diversity and have more Muslim representation, or young people will feel alienated and will be more vulnerable to joining extremist groups. ‘If we fail to represent, we are in danger of losing people to extremism.’”

Ahmed’s victimhood narrative is self-contradictory. He was born in Wembley and grew up in England. So presumably while he was growing up, young Muslims didn’t have any significant presence on British television — yet he himself wasn’t lost to “extremism.” If he wasn’t, why does he think any other Muslim will be? Clearly representation on television is not what determines whether or not a Muslim will join the jihad. Ahmed is simply engaging in more of the familiar victimhood posturing to which Muslim spokesmen so frequently resort. It must be extremely effective in obtaining for them special favors and accommodation.  more

SNIP: So let’s play along, shall we? Let’s create some suitable theater for ‘representation’.

  1. Revenge of the Christians.

    Such a ‘peaceful’ way of getting not only Hollywood in line, but box office sales. Add another ‘star’ to the list of, ‘Never going to another movie he’s in’.

  2. I don’t know what he’s talking about there are plenty of muslims on film. The downside is they’re usually cutting someone’s head off with a rusty knife.

  3. Reminds me of the story where an Arab once asked Gene Roddenberry why there were no Muslim characters in his Star Trek TV show. Roddenberry reportedly answered, “Because it takes place in the future!”

  4. If only Joe, if only.
