La musique: Against all odds- The postal service

So one of favorite shows, 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland is beginning a new season shortly. Apparantly one of their new plots revolves around a Muslim family that seems wholesome and normal but is secretly a terrorist cell. Does anyone else see something wrong with this? For starters they're defaming an entire ethnic group that is already had its share of bad press, not to mention perpetuating the feeling of fear many Americans have of a (however unlikely) terrorist attack.
I realize past episodes have had Russian/Mexican/scores of other ethnic groups as villains, and it's not the fact that Muslims are being portrayed as bad guys that I have a problem with. It's the "This could be happening under your nose" fear mongering they're creating. It's that this seems way more possible than a released biological weapon in L.A. or a plot to assassinate a black presidential candidate.
I could get into a big conspiracy theory about Fox being notoriously right wing and perhaps this holding a hidden agenda for a certain fear-mongering President, but I don't want the secret service at my door anymore than you.
