Mistaken Identity

I love Blue Bloods, but this episode was trying to point out the difference between Sikh and Muslims which should never be confused. I commend the attempt but having pointed out the religious and physical differences they have the Sikh man a Muslim name! How ignorant is that?! Hameed is a Muslim name!! Being a Sikh myself i find it quite offensive that someone couldn't even be bothered to research properly! Blue bloods is one of my favorite shows so I find this lack of research disappointing.

Religion and the law seem to be the theme of this Blue Bloods episode.

Tom Selleck has to deal with the problem of one of his officers who whacked some citizen upside the head and issued an anti-Moslem epithet. The man wasn't even a Moslem, he was a Sikh, but with those required turbans they are often mistaken for Moslems. Stereotypes you know, they can get in the way of good judgment.

Donnie Wahlberg and Marissa Ramirez are on a case of a couple of bombings, the latest of which had a fatality with it. The places were mosques and someone has it in for Islam. But this one has a different twist. Another example of what happens when religion gets taken way too seriously.

Finally Will Estes escorts a former law school classmate to a reunion dinner. She's really doing well and they do hook up. That only gets Vanessa Ray annoyed. The attraction has built up ever so slowly with them.

Nicely done, one of the best episodes from the series.
