Mandy Patinkin, a lead actor on the Showtime series Homeland, made news last Friday by claiming “white men” in government and the military are the real “bad guys” and should be shown as such in his television series and other entertainment.
Homeland is now into its eighth season, with star Claire Danes no longer portraying a CIA agent mentored by Patinkin’s CIA character. Instead, she’s working for a foundation to aid Muslim refugees.
The show’s been criticized for portraying Muslims as terrorists for much of the first four seasons, and Danes as the CIA operative working to thwart them. Critics claim the show provoked anti-Muslim sentiment.
The plotline has shifted dramatically in the new season, with Patinkin making over the top comments related to the changes, which can be found on the next page.
Just another reason not to watch any show or movie he is a part of. Obviously he doesn’t know that Boston is a part of this country or San Bernardino, Ca. I think he should go and study some more.
The amazing part is that he is Jewish! He is truly a stupid man!
Unbelievable. Probably one of the reasons I have stopped watching most TV programs and movies. They are worth it.
Unbelievable. What is going on inside his head? He needs some meds and a shrink.
As someone that has been in the military for almost 30 years and lived in Islamic countries for 10. You sir are an ignorant Ass.

So if I become a Muslim tomorrow I become a good guy? As long as there are people who think like he does man will never find peace. We will always be in turmoil.
Wow. Go to a Muslim country and see how that works for you. What an idiot
People actually pay extra for channels such as showtime? To put money in the pockets of this trash?
People that think this way, especially those that express it, NEED to be jailed then deported. Believers of this Ideology beleive in suppression of free speech, so, we should make exceptions and punish them for speaking freely when it is harmful to our constitution and way of life. He most likely beleives the garbage of which he speaks. The only thing these animalistic “people”, and I use that word begrudgingly, have done is murder people of all religions, including no religion. They follow a book called the quran and it is not religious, but outlines a form of government. Anti American does not belong here. Simple mathematics.
“muslims” have promoted their own ” anti muslim/terrorist ” reputation for nearly 1400 years or more now, … America’s soldiers and others have (for the vast majority ) only acted in DEFENSE ,…AFTER “their” aggression,..very rarely as an offense, and even in most of those few instances more of a preemptive strike to something that was probably or DEFINITELY coming….
Oy vey!!!!
