10 truths mainstream comic books evade to promote "Muslim superheroes"

The world's premier counter-jihad comic artist, Bosch Fawstin, weighs in on Marvel Comics' new Muslim superhero. "10 Truths Mainstream Comic Books Evade to Promote ‘Muslim Superheroes’: An ex-Muslim independent cartoonist vs the politically correct cowardice of Marvel and DC Comics," by Bosch Fawstin at PJ Lifestyle, December 19, 2013:
The Muslim terrorist is a cliché. But only in real life. And in post-9/11 comic books, “Muslim superheroes” are becoming a cliché. As a cartoonist and as a recovered Muslim working on an anti-jihad graphic novel called The Infidel, featuring Pigman, I’ve identified certain truths that Marvel and DC Comics have to evade in order to shove their “Muslim superheroes” down the throats of their readers. Before I move on to my list, I want to add that I put “Muslim superheroes” in quotes because Marvel and DC Comics want to promote “Muslim superheroes” without promoting Muslim superheroes. They want to promote their fantasy version of what they would like Muslim superheroes to be, not Islam’s version. As I’ve argued in my work, a good Muslim by our standards is a bad Muslim by Islamic standards. Therefore, a true Muslim superhero would be a Muslim supervillain.
1. We Are At War.
9/11/01 was 12 years ago, yet those behind the attack are still undefeated. The greatest state sponsors of terrorism on earth — Saudi Arabia and Iran — operate as if 9/11 never happened. And we’re still not ready to identify Islam as the enemy’s motivation. Can you imagine American comic book publishers during World World II publishing Italian, Japanese and German superhero comic books? That would have been unthinkable back then. Almost as unthinkable as it currently is to see Marvel and DC create anti-jihad superheroes. While Marvel and DC are presenting Islam to us in the most politically correct possible way through their comics, in the real world Muslims are on the warpath, killing non-Muslims Every. Single. Day. These “Muslim superheroes” are in the end a way for liberals to deny the reality that an entire part of the world is at war with us, while we do everything we can to focus on Muslims who are not at war with us, as if they’re the true representatives of a violent religion like Islam.
2. Islam Means Submission, Not Peace.
The only reason we’re talking about Islam at all today is because it doesn’t mean peace. Islam literally means submission, and it demands that Muslims submit to the will of its malevolent god, Allah. September 11, 2001, is when Americans really began to discuss Islam. Unfortunately, most of that talk ended up giving the religion the benefit of the doubt, either by ignorance or by deception. But we always need to remember that it was death and destruction, not peace and understanding, which started our conversation about Islam. In general, Islam – not any alleged deviant form of it – means misogyny, censorship, antisemitism, homophobia, wife-beatings, beheadings, honor killings, pedophilia/“child marriages,” murdering infidels, etc. And while jihad literally means “struggle,” its dominant, historical meaning has been “Holy War.”
And the jihad against us is being fought by the enemy on every possible front — military, cultural, legal, political, etc. In the meantime, we seem content to limit our defense efforts to simply sending our troops to Muslim countries with their hands tied behind their backs, placing them in unnecessary danger by rules of engagement — concocted by gutless politicians — that only help the enemy. A great American military has no chance in hell of defeating the enemy when Islamophiles like George W. Bush or Barack Obama are calling the shots.
The more of us who understand the nature of this enemy, and the more willing we are to tell the truth about it, the more Washington, D.C., is pressured to act more rationally against an enemy who sees all of us as guilty until proven Muslim. As Muslim Bassam Tibi puts it, “Those who resist Islam cause wars and are responsible for them.” This enemy means business, and they’re prepared to say and do anything to kill us, while we’re not even willing to be honest with ourselves about the exact nature of what we’re facing.
3. Islamophilia, Not “Islamophobia,” Is Our Problem.
In the first pages of the debut story for DC’s Muslim Green Lantern, they tried hard to sell the idea that it’s tough to be a Muslim in post-9/11 America, by making him out to be the victim of “Islamophobic” attacks. Forget about the thousands of Americans who were butchered by Muslims on 9/11, DC seems to be telling us, just focus on this poor Muslim victim who’s been mistreated by Americans.
Since the widespread post-9/11 anti-Muslim backlash that the media was bracing for never came – “Islamophobic” attacks in the years following have had to be exaggerated or made up. Even in the 2013 U.S. “Hate Crimes” Report, Jews are still attacked five times more than Muslims.
Phobia is an irrational fear about something. Philia is a positive feeling or liking. Why would non-Muslims have a positive feeling towards Islam, especially post-9/11? There’s nothing irrational about fearing an irrational ideology that dehumanizes women, Jews, homosexuals, lax Muslims and non-Muslims. So it’s Islamophilia, an uncritical acceptance of a hostile religion, that’s our problem, not any so-called phobia about it....
4. Appeasement Doesn’t Work.
The more we say “Islam means peace,” the more peaceful Islam becomes … & Islam means peace. The fact that DC Comics finds it necessary to have their Muslim Green Lantern be part of not one, but two popular superhero team series tells me they know this character can’t carry his own weight with their readers. A big reason is that we all know Muslims have done nothing to deserve the constant tributes they receive from us. What’s the likelihood of Saudi Arabia and Iran publishing comic books with American and Israeli superheroes? As likely as Obama becoming a born-again capitalist. Our appeasement has turned the enemy’s hatred of us into contempt.
And now, Marvel Comics will debut its new female “Muslim superhero” in her own comic book, but she’ll be given the name of an established, pre-existing superhero, Ms. Marvel, in order to give her a leg up. I expect this character to join the Avengers or some other popular Marvel superhero group in no time, which might keep her own series afloat for longer than it would otherwise. And let’s say she ends up in The Avengers comic book; I can already see activist Muslim groups petitioning Marvel Comics to put her in an Avengers film. And if it doesn’t happen soon, they’ll cry “Islamophobia.” Marvel, on giving this unearned tribute to Islam, has now opened the door to Muslims demanding a male Muslim superhero as well. And after that there could even be talk about why it is that one of the great superhero icons hasn’t converted to Islam yet, and so on. Again, where is the equivalent of this in “the Muslim world”?...

Arab Green Lantern Superhero I Told You About is “Persecuted Muslim” Designed by Anti-Israel Hezbos, Subsidized by Your Tax $s

A very interesting post from www.debbieschlussel.com  about the new DC comic book character "Green Lantern." This follows this post about U.S. troops being encouraged to refuse orders during a possible war.  This follows this article about American energy independence and preventing money from going to hostile countries such as Iran . For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and read this very interesting book HERE.




Arab Green Lantern Superhero I Told You About is “Persecuted Muslim” Designed by Anti-Israel Hezbos, Subsidized by Your Tax $s

By Debbie Schlussel



Almost two weeks ago, I told you about “Baz,” the new Green Lantern superhero created by DC Comics exec/dhimmi Christian Arab Geoff Johns, which will debut at the anti-Israel Arab American National Museum, which is run by Hezbollah Shi’ite Muslims. At first Johns was keeping very quiet about the new character, which he originally said was just an Arab and not Muslim. But, now, he’s come out of the jihadist closet. In the comic book, which debuts today, Simon Baz is an unemployed Muslim Arab Dearbornistan autoworker “unfairly persecuted” and “wrongly accused of terrorism” after 9/11, after he is “forced” to steal the wrong car. Wow, talk about propaganda. And the character was designed with the help of employees of the tax-funded anti-Israel, pro-Hezbollah/HAMAS museum, including museum “researcher,” Matt Jaber Stiffler, so your taxes helped subsidize this crap, which gives new meaning to the phrase, “comic con.” Can’t wait until we read about how the Green Lantern was “forced” to beat up a Jewish kid because his relatives in the Middle East were allegedly harassed and persecuted by the “evil Zionist entity.” You know that’s coming, rather than an intellectually honest story about Johns’ Maronite Christian relatives who were persecuted by Muslims in Lebanon.



DC Comics Dhimmi Geoff Johns & His Muslim-Arab Green Lantern BS



The olive-skinned, burly Baz hails from Dearborn, the hometown of Henry Ford and the capital of Arab America. His story begins at 10 years old, when he and the rest of his Muslim family watch their television in horror as airplanes fly into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Events unfold from there as U.S. Arabs and Muslims find themselves falling under intense suspicion and ostracism in the days, months and years following the attacks.



PUH-LEEZE. That tired, hackneyed narrative is belied by the fact that 9/11 was the best PR move ever for Muslims. Forty percent of Muslims now in the U.S. came here after 9/11, and they’ve gotten gazillions in government grants, and tons of political pandering, appeasement, and mainstream media sob stories over them despite their crocodile tears over 9/11 and their open support for Islamic terrorist groups that continue to murder Americans. 9/11 got America to bend over forward and backward for this religion of terrorism and open hatred of America, Christians, and Jews.



Johns said he took economic as well as ethnic cues for the character from his native Detroit area, with Baz resorting to stealing cars after being laid off from his automotive engineering job. He steals the wrong car, which inadvertently steers him into a terrorism probe and, eventually, an unexpected call to join the universe’s galactic police force.



Ah, now I get it. American auto industry in the dumps, Muslims hardest hit! Aren’t they the most afflicted and aggrieved from any troubles that hit America, while the rest of us are doing fine!

Johns . . . grew up in nearby suburbs in a Lebanese Christian household and got into comics when he discovered his uncle’s old collection in his Arab grandmother’s attic.



Hmmm . . . maybe Geoff Johns should have spent less time reading comics and more time talking to his Christian Arab grandma about why her family was forced to leave Lebanon. As in, Muslim persecution of Christians, a time-honored tradition in Lebanon and throughout the Middle East (and now the West, too).



I’ve seen a million ignorant Christian Arab dhimmis like Johns, who become tools of the Islamic community when they have this urge to “get in touch with their Arab roots.” The thing is, their “Arab roots” were uprooted because their ancestors had to escape Muslims in the old country. Now they are here in the new country, and I guarantee you Geoff Johns’ ancestors are turning over in their graves watching him pander to those who’ve imported the jihad to American soil. What an idiot.



As I’ve said before, American Muslims don’t need new superheroes. They already have them in the form of Hassan Nasralleh, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Adhmadinejad, and Osama Bin Laden. And they won’t embrace this silly comic book fiction, which is made strictly for propaganda PR purposes to the non-Muslim crowd of comic book slacker fan boy idiots, who I’m sure will eagerly eat this crap up.



Mr. Jaber Stiffler, who helped Johns create this BS character, would know. The people who run his museum are proud, open supporters of jihad, Jew-hatred, Hezbollah, and HAMAS. The museum’s exhibits are a testament to that, as are the activities and statements of the museum’s founders and creators.



Remember, Ismael Ahmed, the man who dreamed up the museum, is a proud supporter of HAMAS and Hezbollah and fought Bill Clinton’s efforts to make contributions to them illegal. He also ran a giant Medicaid fraud business for Muslim aliens, defrauding Americans of billions of tax dollars. And he funded the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel Divestment Conference at the University of Michigan. That’s not to mention that his first wife–who was planning to divorce him–mysteriously “fell” down an elevator shaft at a construction site, when he suddenly took her on a “vacation” to New York City.



But, don’t worry, you’ll never see Geoff Johns’ fictional Muslim Arab Green Lantern engaging in any of those activities, which go on every second of the day in Dearbornistan.



If he actually based his comic book characters on those connected to the creation of his new Muslim Arab “American” superhero, they wouldn’t be superheroes at all. They’d be villains. Just as they are in real life.

Wknd Box Office: Green Lantern, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, Art of Getting By

Here is an interesting article from http://www.debbieschlussel.com/  reviewing some of the movies that came out over the past weekend. This follows this post some of the movies from last week and  THIS POST about some movies that have been released over the past few years that you might have missed!  This all  follows this post about guidelines to chosing good movies to watch yourself!


Wknd Box Office: Green Lantern, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, Art of Getting By

By Debbie Schlussel



I wasn’t all that excited by the new movies, this weekend, but the best–and it’s all relative–is the superhero flick.



* “Green Lantern“: I like Ryan Reynolds as an actor. I even like him as a superhero, though he was less charismatic and assertive than I like in my superheroes. But I wasn’t all that impressed by this movie, which was kind of messy and had a weak story. It was okay and better than some of the other recent superhero movies I’ve seen recently. But it wasn’t great.



I liked certain scenes, like the scene in which Reynolds–pre-superhero induction–is a fighter pilot fighting it out in the skies against two computer-operated jets. That was a rush. But other parts were just silly, like a scene of animated, old crone “wise men” (and women) who sit atop columns with five-hundred foot long robes on. That was laughable, though not intentionally. I laughed out loud. I also didn’t buy Peter Sarsgaard as the son of Tim Robbins.



And parts of the story were non-sensical and silly. In the beginning scenes, some intergalactic battle between several green lantern men and some sort of giant villain who looks like an evil version of Sesame Street’s Snuffalupagus. Then, the screen switches to Reynolds as a pilot, and how he loses control of his plane, losing his company and the entire town an important contract for planes.



Soon, though Reynolds is selected by the green ring of a dying alien who has crashed onto earth. The ring selected him for some courage that neither he nor anyone can see. He goes to another planet to train with the other Green Lanterns (over 3,000 of them) from around the galaxy, so they can prepare to fight the evil Snufallupagus. But Reynolds gives up and goes back to earth, where he must contend with the evil Hector (Sarsgaard), who has turned into a villain with superpowers after coming into contact with the dead aliens body. In the meantime, there’s also his budding romance with Blake Lively, a fellow pilot whose father owns the copmany and is grooming her to run it.



Like I said, the plot is a little ho-hum and messy. It’s not a tight story. And there wasn’t a lot of 3-D in it, even though we saw the movie in 3-D. But there was nothing objectionable, and there wasn’t any sex in it (other than Reynolds waking up next to a woman and running off). So, it’s family friendly, if a little violent and graphic for kids. I just thought parts of the movie were dull and slow, while others seemed disconnected and thrown in.



Still it wasn’t a bad movie. Again, just not a great one.



ONE-AND-A-HALF REAGANS




* “Mr. Popper’s Penguins“: Jim Carrey stars in this movie squarely aimed at kids. For adults, it is formulaic, somewhat boring and long, and a little silly. But it’s fine to take your kids to it. It isn’t your normal Carrey level of funniness, either. I laughed, but only less than a handful of times. Also, what kind of kids’ movie talks about Viagra? Huh?



The story: as a kid, Carrey’s father is never home. He’s away exploring around the world, always chasing after the next big opportunity and communicating with his son via radio. But he never comes home. All grown up, Carrey is a slick real estate developer who uses psychology to trick people into retiring and selling their choice property to him, with the help of his secretary who mostly uses words that start with the letter, “P.”



Carrey is divorced with a son and daughter who aren’t all that into him. But, one day, he inherits a penguin from his recently departed father. Soon he has six of them. They mess up his fancy penthouse apartment, but they bring him and his kids–as well as his ex-wife–back together again. And they help bring him the last piece of the real-estate puzzle he’s been seeking.



Good to take your kids to see, but for adults, not the greatest kids movie. Not even close. This is paint-by-number baby-sitting stuff. And a little hokey.



ONE HALF REAGAN



* “The Art of Getting By“: You’ve seen far better versions of this story a gazillion times. Nerdy loser/loner who hasn’t found his way in the world of high school goes for beautiful popular girl who befriends him and eventually, after lots of angst and drama, they fall in love and sleep together. The end. That’s this movie with a whole lotta pretentiousness and fake, overwrought melodrama added for good (er . . . bad) measure. Per usual, all the high school kids in this movie are geniuses and very mature adults. And their parents are all irresponsible sluts, morons, or dolts.



One night, the guy falls asleep on the trundle bed on the girl’s room and wakes up to her merciless laughter at his erection. Later, at a restaurant, the girl (Emma Roberts–Julia’s niece), asks the boy if he wants to sleep with her, then mocks and embarrasses him. Yup, classy movie, and exactly what you want your teens seeing on the big screen. NOT.



As a kid, I never liked “The Breakfast Club “and thought it was highly overrated. But that’s Shakespeare stuff, compared to this low-class, pretentious bore I’ve seen done far better a million times before.



FOUR MARXES
