NBC's Act of Sedition

An episode of NBC's action drama series "E-Ring". This episode, which aired last Wednesday, November 23, 2005, portrayed a "radical Christian group' taking over a mosque and holding its members hostage. Here is the official episode summary from NBC.com

Delta Does Detroit

JT AND HIS TEAM FACE TERRORISM ON OUR OWN SOIL - JT (Benjamin Bratt) and a Special Ops team are dispatched to Detroit where a radical Christian group takes over a mosque and keeps its members hostage. JT must balance how much he is able to assist in saving lives with the law which requires that the FBI deal with the situation on their own. Also starring Dennis Hopper, Aunjanue Ellis, Kelly Rutherford. TV-14

Here is an excerpt from The Religion of Peace website:

In the real world, of course, Muslims are the ones staging deadly attacks not only on churches and synagogues, but also rival mosques. On the very day that the NBC episode aired - November 16th - Islamic terrorists managed to kill Buddhists, shiites, Sunnis, Christians and Hindus in separate terror attacks - and it wasn't even a particularly eventful day (other than the fact that they somehow overlooked the Jews).

As for the "Christian radicals"…(deep yawn)… we did a Web search for the whole year and couldn't find even a single fatality linked to such an extremist group on the entire planet. An American mosque apparently has about the same chance of suffering a deadly invasion by "Christian radicals" as it does being swallowed by a giant lizard - which might make for a more credible E-ring scenario the next time around.

I have to ask the question; without backsliding into the negative aspects of what we consider the a "dark chapter of American history", the McCarthy Era, would something like this episode of E-Ring ever seen the light of day back in the Cold War when Americans united against a common enemy? Would a radio show aimed at creating fictional characters who killed German babies have aired back in World War II?

What is it about today's media that not only allows such incisive, blatantly misleading, Anti-American drivel to hit the airwaves but also inspires producers to create it in the first place? If I had my way, the producers of this episode of E-Ring would be brought up on charges of sedition for causing aid and comfort to the enemy.

The Sedition Act of 1918 has a distinct relevance for today's War in Iraq as well as our global War on Terror. Doesn't this excerpt from the Sedition Act seem apt for our friends over at NBC?

Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to...promote the success of its enemies, or shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements,...and whoever shall by word or act support or favor the cause of any country with which the United States is at war or by word or act oppose the cause of the United States therein, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or the imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both...

It's my estimation that there is a culture of Hate America as distinct as the stench of rotting meat emanating from Hollywood and the leftist media at large and that these types of shows and the message contained therein will only grow more and more prolific until the Anti-American sentiment fills every courtroom, classroom, television, radio and news article and our great Nation, founded on the principles enumerated in the Christian Bible, is reduced to a heap of Socialist reformers bent on the homogenization of cultures and religions and the obliteration of Christian faith and American values.
