I am disgusted. Disgusted.
It's so clear that this show went OUT OF ITS WAY to encourage the ideology that Muslims are evil. After watching Season 1, I was disgusted by how far they took this.
To start off light, when talking about one of the antagonists in the show, they never fail to remind the audience that they are "Muslim":
"That fucking Muslim bitch"
"Fucking Muslim"
"Arab Bitch"
So on, so forth.
It was also a really nice touch that the villain responsible for so much damage, including the murder of a little girl, was named "The Egyptian". While a monster like that could have been Egyptian, he just as easily could have been from anywhere else on the planet. Take a moment and replace "The Egyptian" with any nationality of your choice. How does it make you feel? I just don't understand the logic behind something like that. Even something like "The Egyptian Snake" or "The Egyptian Monster" or wherever would've been much less insulting. But no, "The Egyptian" was the name they decided on for a murderer.
It sickened me to see the inclusion of Islamic actions like praying, ablution, and the phrases of prayer used in this show. They twisted the meaning and made it look so dark. I honestly don't know how to say it better. They made it look dark, and evil, and scary. It was disgusting to see. The words "cleanse yourself" was represented by the antagonist performing ablution, praying, then burning herself. It's downright sick how they could turn praying in thanks to God, to a horrifying act like that.
Why were all of "The Egyptian's" gang members also Arab? They also made one of the guys a Syrian who just came from France. That is insensitive beyond imagination considering the accusations against those refugees when there was a terror attack in Paris in 2015.
There are so many more examples throughout the show that frame Islam as a religion of violence and anger. It disgusts me. I don't understand how I could not find a single article, post, or even a comment regarding this. It's a shame that Netflix is trying to promote equality, yet the things that tear us apart go right under their noses. This is a show that's been awarded over 7 awards and nominated over 25 times. This is a show that has appeared countless times at the top of the "Trending Now" and "Popular of Netflix" and countless other Netflix playlists for week after week, month after month, and so on. How many people has it negatively influenced?
I'm utterly disgusted. I watched the first season of this show in disgust.
