Pamela Geller, Breitbart: ABC Show Canceled Under CAIR Pressure Was ‘Pro-Arab, Pro-Tolerance’
CAIR was claiming that the show was going to be “Islamophobic,” but Eikmeier says that “the intended series could have been a step in the right direction for all cultures and all women, sparking greater tolerance, understanding and empathy.” She laments that “success was easily within reach to achieve a goal many in the Muslim community want: a series that showed them fairly and with admiration and complexity, that would give opportunities to Arab writers and Arab actors.” However, “blinded by the stereotype the mob had of the typical Hollywood writer, however, those imminent jobs have now disappeared. That is no victory, in any form, for anyone.”
