"Homeland is Racist": Artists Sneak Subversive Graffiti into Episode 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
And a recent episode of the hit Showtime TV series "Homeland" featured
subversive graffiti messages in Arabic lettering that read "Homeland is
racist" and "There is no Homeland." The messages appeared scrawled
across a wall on the set of a fictional Syrian refugee camp covered with
Arabic graffiti. Three artists, including an Egyptian artist, say they
were behind the subversive messages and that the action was in protest
of the TV series' false and misleading stereotypes of Muslims.
