A show that has already attacked conservatives and brought us evil pro-life Catholics this season just portrayed terrorists in a totally unexpected way.
The X-Files episode “Babylon” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/38785-s10e05-babylon/?view=getnewpost) begins with a young Muslim man praying to Allah before going about his day, speaking Arabic with a friend and heading to an art gallery. But in The X-Files, nothing is ever as it seems and audience members have learned after many years to anticipate a big twist in the cold opening. In this case, we’re thinking, surely they are going to be politically correct and the Muslim aspect is just a red herring.
