Muslim Superhero Comic Book to Make Its Debut, page 1

NEW YORK -- Comic book fans will soon be getting their first glimpse at an unlikely new superhero -- a Muslim boy in a wheelchair with superpowers. The new superhero is the brainchild of a group of disabled young Americans and Syrians who were brought together last month in Damascus by the Open Hands Intiative, a non-profit organization founded by U.S. philanthropist and businessman Jay T. Snyder.

I guess we'll have a Muslim breakfast cereal next? Frosted Mini Imams Or perhaps some Pop Tarts with Koran verses on them?

There is a thing as going overboard to ram something down the throats of people....Ya know

I think you really have a sense of Islamaphobia towards your mind as a muslim superhero is no different than a christian batman, also... Since when does superhero have to do with ethnicity?

The superhero is also in a wheelchair. Why didn't you make your thread title, "Disabled Superhero Comic Book to Make Its Debut"?

You don't need to answer that, I already know.

The superhero was created by kids, both Muslim and non-Muslim, so I fail to see what you mean by your comment about "too much." This is actually really good for the kids; it empowers them to push beyond their disabilities.

And it is not the first Muslim superhero.

Your the one who brought "ethnicity" for obvious purposes. I do not waste my time with folks like you who have to place race and or ethnicity into their arguments because they refuse (or are paid to in some cases) argue a mute point.

I'm tired of our government along with soft minds who are afraid to say whats on their minds because of antics like your reply.

So what works for those who do not care what is going on around them. However its that same attitude why nothing ever seems to get done about a lot of things on the minds of most Americans these days.

Here is a list of Catholic superheroes

There are also dozens of superheroes from the other Christian denominations, so why not a few Muslim superheroes?

I despise this.
Not muslims, just people in wheel chairs with super powers.

So whats the freakin big deal with a comic that only a select few will pic up and read.

It's exactly the same thing as having a Christian or Buddhist or Jewish Superhero. Everyone, especially children, need a hero they can relate to in some way. He doesn't have to be your hero. Thank you mikelee for contributing yet another useless thread to ATS. You are a shining example of ignorance and a great pupil for TPTB. You make their job much easier. Pat yourself on the back, have a cookie.. This valiant effort to expose the evil-doers will not go unnoticed. You wanna talk about cramming things down people's throats? How about you stop cramming your weak, ignorant, propaganda down my throat? I'm sick of hearing people like you referring to Muslims or ANYONE for that matter as inferior beings. You're no better, but after this post I could imagine you might be worse. Rise above the ignorance, become a real member of ATS. I've had to use this quote far too often recently.. "For a moment if you please forget what you believe, and naked you will see that we are all the same"-A guy who knows what he is talking about.
