The New York Times Magazine had a great article on Battlestar Galactica.  I loved the original series (even the mechanical dog), but like the new series even more due to its intelligent and timely writing.

The NYTM article clearly recognizes the show's strong writing and pointed out comparisons between the Cylons ("who look like people", have discovered God and believe themselves to be "ruthlessly principled") and Al Qaeda.

I hate terrorists! They use the excuse of religion to preach hate while really their true desire is to control your mind. Comparing terrorists to Cylons is perfect as the Cylons attempt to commit genocide on the human race simply because they didn't like the traits and behaviors of humans.  Yep-that pretty much sounds like a terrorist to me!
