Although I've never been a fan of comic books, I appreciated this documentary. I loved how the muslim women questioned why the female characaters in the comic books weren't "covered up" and I also understood the complexities over how one shouldn't blashpheme the principals God sets forth and showcase them in "art." I also loved Majid's share on his upbringing. I'm glad he shared his tory. I loved the comments about the "chitlins" and "catfish." Too funny!!!!!

@aburashdan actually, we are 97%... the 1% politician and the 2% soldiers/policemen at their service divide us.
