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”?...
