Well, if you consider the theme of the show, it's people who have done BAD things, and these people are from ALL walks of life. So if you consider a character from the middle east, who has a checkered past, Saeed fits perfectly into LOST's scheme. Now, if the show was full of good people from around the globe, and he's the only one with a checkered past, then yes - this show would then be stereotyping.
well Im from Iraq and an Arab!! we think that its typical for American media to show Arabs in a bad way terrorists or in best case scenario an ignorant billionaire!!
Hey Audreana yea I like Saeed too he is so cool on the show and handsome too. And as far as judjing arabs goes thats just crazy. Arabs are some of the coolest people i ever met. I have a friend named Nasar from Kuwait who I miss very much. Myasalaama
The actor that plays Saeed is Indian (Naveen Andrews) They probably made him have that past so that he can help protect people.Yes his character is a good guy and was forced to be a guard in Iraq. Omar Sharif is an arab and he is in many films. He is not portrayed as a bad arab. He is in a recent film Hidalgo.Also I like that you dont judge arabs and muslims.
thank you
