NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Fox's crime drama "24" hasn't opened its new season yet but already has offended a Muslim group.
Officials of the Council on American-Islamic Relations expressed dismay at the depiction of a Muslim family after watching a 24-minute promotion of the series opener.
"At first I was shocked," spokeswoman Rabiah Ahmed told the New York Daily News, because "they show an American-Muslim family and they portray them as terrorists."
At issue is a scene in which a teenager helps his parents plot to kill Americans.
"What we will accomplish today will change the world," the father tells the son over breakfast. "We are fortunate that our family has been chosen to do this."
Ahmed said the scene "casts a cloud of suspicion over every American-Muslim family out there."
