Hi! First of all "Lost" has excellent writers! You all are extremely talented and creative. I'm hoping to one day work on "Lost" as some kind of interesting character, not that background and being an extra is not interesting :) . I love it. In fact I worked a couple of times and you guys have an excellent team.

The reason I'm emailing you is because of Naveen's character on "Lost' I'm sure there is a lot of problems on TV shows when it comes to religion. I was hoping there wouldn't be a huge negativity when it came to Sayid's religion. Im sure people would like to see stereoypes, but somebody needs to break that. The media or news portrays arabs or Muslims as terrorists or ruthless people but I was hoping we dont see it that way on a TV show. I know it's all fun and entertainment but if the media, newspaper and a TV show is going to portray Muslims like that then it's in everyone's head 'oh it must be true what they say about arabs or muslims'. NOT everybody is naive enough to believe that, but I asked dumb questions everyday from people.

Some Muslims and CAIR asked the TV show "24" and FOX to run PSAs for the Muslims which I thought was kinda over doing it. I disagreed that they should run PSAs because of a TV show happened to have terrorists who were Muslims. If a person is going to be a racist or naive then no PSA is going to change their mind. I know it's not "Lost"s repsonsiblity to teach people about religion or morality. I just thought if "Lost" can bring some postive light to the Muslims then everyone can be happy....maybe everyone...

Thanks! :)
