‘All American Muslim’: It’s too clean, wholesome and decent, get it off the air

From the Daily Beast:

The boycott against All-American Muslim surely marks the first time that right-wingers have objected to a television program for being too bland and wholesome. Since the reality show debuted last month, the putative forces of anti-jihadism, both Jewish and evangelical, have attacked it not for promoting radical Islam but for portraying Muslims who are not remotely radical. “The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to the liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish,” said an email that the Florida Family Association urged its supporters to send to the show’s advertisers.

Ach!!  What’s wrong with this picture?  Since when did right-wingers start clamoring for removal of shows for being too decent?  Apparently there is concern this new show is being deceptive and trying to put on a happy face when they are really covering up some nefarious, hidden, terrorist plot.

They get what they deserve.
