Islamic Superheroes - World

December 2009

Theres a new gang of heroes on the scene in the comic book world; based on the 99 attributes of Allah, these superheroes have their roots in the Arab world, and theyre saving the planet, Islam style!
The creator of the series, Naif A-Mutawa, says he's trying to teach Islamic extremists to embrace peaceful conflict resolution and to turn from violence. One of his cartoonists agrees, The way 'The 99's powers work is that they really gain strength when they join together - and that's part of the whole metaphor for cooperation among different cultures. Yet Islamic fundamentalists are not keen on this foray into American pop culture, and are seizing upon 'The 99' as evidence that a strict Sharia code must be urgently implemented, to protect Islamic values. Sharia law cleric, Anjem Chaudary, warns, "The territory that he's treading in is very, very dangerous"

May I remind you that all religions have their fanatics, such as the Christians with the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the IRA, the Jews with their racist religious sects that cause violence in the world, the world isn't black and white

These characters created by this man which he can control his actions to be good characters or evil, depending on his malicious desire, So you find that the youngsters when the names of God are mentioned, they imagine those characters including the sexual temptation or anger or hate which they have, this leads to difference in seeing or understanding the real meaning of the names of Allah.

reprimand33@ there are many churches and christians living in peace in many of the muslim countries, and in fact theres no sharia law theres democracy there are many cowardious leaders in the middle east backed by your own very western govenrments

This is yet another way to "ISLAMIFY" the USA and the rest of the world. The Islamic faith commands it. This includes Taqiyyah and kitman or "holy hypocrisy".

those cartoon characters do not look remotely like middle easterners or people from the maghreb.

Kinda annoys me how the commentator talks over Anjem Chaudary. I was just getting into his take on this and then "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH". Stop telling us what he's saying and let him say it!

"They're also here to wrestle back Islam from the extremists who seek to control it"

I think it's a real shame how so much Western media (particularly the tabloid press) completely misrepresents the vast majority of Muslims' views. British tabloids attack people like Nick Griffin (BNP) for being Islamophobic, but simultaneously only run stories about radical Muslims who hate the West- The moderate majority never get a look-in. Common opinion here sometimes makes me ashamed to be British.
