In this special season premier to season 3, which debuted after the terrorist attack carried out by brain-washed extremists on September 11--Josh Lyman, with some "unwanted" (but needed) help from Donna--gives an excellent analogy/similie about the relationship (or lack thereof!!) between Islamic Extremists and Islam.

  • @MustLovePoop You really think that? Google "kkk and religion" and follow the wikipedia link to Christian terrorism. Scroll down to the section on the U.S. and you will see the following about the Klan. "They were explicitly Christian terrorist in ideology, basing their beliefs on a "religious foundation" in Christianity" and "The goals of the KKK included, from an early time on, an intent to reestablish Protestant Christian values in America by any means possible". The more you know...

  • Yay I got the answer right! Where's ma cookie??

  • he never once mentions the u.s. unwavering and unending support for israel and the many u.n. resolutions that only the u.s. has vetoed time and time again

  • @sunnchilde Respectfully, I think Josh is spot on here. To my mind an "Islamist" is actually NOT someone who follows Islam correctly - they think they do but apostatize their faith by their murderous intentions.

  • Spot on.

  • @lelmdrWHO Its my favorite episode, which is saying something seeing as this series is terrific

  • I like Josh, but I think he's over complicating things here. The terrorists hate us mostly because they're Islamists and we're not.

  • The West Wing was the first show post 9/11 to react to it, this episode I imagine was hastily thrown together. So the plot holes are huge, it doesnt really matter. As this episode does not fit into the West wing canon. I love the show... welll written and if you had the right sense of humour absolutely fricking hillarious.

  • this is quite possiblly the best episode of west wing ever!

  • @timbionline999 I might be late but including these arguments in your presentation against terrorism is inaccurate and fundamentally wrong since these reasons do not represent the reason why terrorism exists.
