Cartoon heroes battle evil "United Liberation Force" and "Zios Army" in Egyptian comics

Comic book jihad in Egypt. "Fantastic Four: A new quartet of superheroes steps up to fight evil. Their turf? The Middle East," from the California Bay Area MetroActive, with thanks to Nuh Gabriel and RB:

Jalila acquired her superpowers at the age of 16, after she was exposed to a nuclear blast at the end of the 55-Year War. She spends her days fighting against the United Liberation Force and the Zios Army, wearing a black leather halter top and tight-fitting pants. Jalila kicks ass to protect her home--the City of All Faiths--from those who wish to control it.

The 55-year war: 1948-2003. This will need revising soon. The City of All Faiths would be, of course, Jerusalem. And I'll bet you know who the United Liberation Force and the Zios Army are. The California paper, however, seems either not to have noticed or not to have cared.

But is that halter top halal? What about the tight-fitting pants?

Meanwhile, Zein is heir to an ancient Egyptian king, and though he's a respected university professor by day, he is a crime-fighting machine with superhuman powers at night.

These are two of four superheroes who populate the world of AK Comics, based in Cairo and distributed in the Middle East and the United States. Creator Ayman Kandeel, who, like his creation Zein, is a university professor of economics in Cairo, began the series in 2002. Published in both English and Arabic, the series touts its characters as "the only Middle Eastern superheroes."

Oh yeah, gotta train 'em young. It will be interesting to see if the distribution of these comics depicting U.S. forces as the enemy has any effect in the United States.

ROFL! The only super hero's in the Middle East are comic book characters!! Oh the shame the mujahadeen must feel...

'wearing a black leather halter top and tight-fitting pants'

They should ship copies of it to the Mullahs in every country. The Fatwas would be instantaneous.

Of course those same Mullahs would probably be calling for more issues, so they could Study the situation further...

I'm sure Jalila -- undoubtedly a brunette Pamela Anderson -- always wears a hajib to compliment her halter top and tight-fitting pants.

Nothing like seeing your mistake three times to make you. I know, I know. It's hijab. Did I spell it right?

OT:

Given that the old Egyptians had such a high culture and such a profound sense of beauty, ( King Tut, Nofretey, Cleopatra etc) as well as great advancements in science, medicin and arts, architecture and astrology- I find it impossible to believe that todays rabble and riff raff that calls itself Egyptian are truly the descendants of the Pharaoh's.

I think Islam wiped them out just like the Atztecs and the Maya.

As for the 'Superheroes' they'd better read "Muhammed- believe it or else"... to the tune of Sheik Yer'mami:

Nice one JUST LINDA!
Al BBC has already written a glowing Dhimmi Report about Middle East Comic Book heroes. Apparently women are buying lots of them - Jalila and her sidekick HAVE EQUAL POWERS WITH THE TWO MALES!! That would have to be a FIRST in Islam.
Like the halter top and tight pants, wonder how long before these two fearless Heroines are forced into hijabs and burkas like Muslim women in the real world. After the mullahs have had a good look...

This story was featured on The Daily Show (Comedy Central) this week. The identities of the Evil Forces and the irony of scantily clad Muslim female superheros were apparent to all.

Muslims are cartoons in human form. In the Afghan-Soviet War the Azzamites - precursors to al-Qaeda - gave vivid BS accounts of "angels" fighting by their sides. Historically, Sunnis accept that the Mongol invasions were stopped by "angels" who were aided by the patron saint of Wahabis: ibn-Taymiyah. Al-Qaeda's 1998 "fatwah" against "Jews and Crusaders," is an update of a 13th century Taymiyah fatwa.

Read about headless bodies. What kind of morals allow decapitation ?

Must Read!
American Muslim' family business uses jihad imagery as dawah (propagation of Islam) in America and elsewhere.

The State Department, which condemned France for barring Muslim slave rags from public places, will treat these licentious slaves-of-allah as noble participants in the American dream.

Our Business Philosophy

The objective of our business is to islamize America and provide islamicly correct high quality products and reliable service for our customers.

The really interesting and significant bit about this is that, according to the BBC story, the comic will be illustrated by American and Brazilian artists. Think about it: in Egypt, the largest and least backward Arab country, they could not find enough skilled artists to produce this rubbish. Or maybe their work did not look "American" enough, because it is clear that this masterpiece, stylistically and structurally, is a complete rip-off of the Great Satan's comic-book tradition. Hoo boy, what a creative, culturally significant lot. At least the Iranians have some great movie directors (until they jail them, kill them, or drive them into exile...).

Jalilah, the arabic superhero?

Is she properly infiblulated? I bet they don't show you that in the comic book!

This reminds me of my student days when Octobriana of "Octobriana and the Russian Underground" was a minor cult. For years I thought she was an underground samizdat symbol of protest, now I find that the books were a spoof. But whatever, she seems to have influenced these heroines heavily.
Perhaps I am a naïve optimist but I think I do detect an element of rebellion against the general humourlessness of Islam here. The authorities will not approve!

God Bless the USA and her Fighting Forces and ALL who Fight with her give them Strength, Wisdom, Sight, and Courage [Italians Too] to Destroy ALL Islamic Terrorist and ALL who Support them Open the Worlds Eyes to their Threat Amen

Catherine and all:

A lot of the Palestinian "casualties" in the most recent Intifadah are nothing more than the result of these gun-happy jackasses firing aimlessly in the air at weddings, funerals and any other event calling for Arab-style machismo.

In this case, though, one has to wonder if this was only their way of reminding Abu Mazen of what Saddam had his colleagues do in order to assume power (mow down all of his assembled opponents).

What a culture!

Catherine,

Getting strung up would be too lenient! The people that Commie reporter endangered with her fraud were far better than she is!

And did you see the way she was carried off the plane as if she were some poor quadraplegic? Good grief, the woman had a lousy SHOULDER WOUND! I'm sure she experienced discomfort, but she wasn't shot in the hip!

Apparently, the Italians paid a ransom of something like $13,000,000 for her. What a waste! And apparently, that wasn't the first time they have donated to the Terrorist Weapons Fund!

Waterdragon,

I guess some of the ransom money paid by the Italians for their precious Commie reporter will go to replace all the bullets that they waste firing into the air to "celebrate." I guess that the "knowledge" that's "revealed" in the Koran doesn't include the fact that bullets fired into the air must come down.
