Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The world’s first anti-jihad comic artist — on The Glazov Gang

Nov 12, 2014 6:55 am By Robert Spencer

This episode of the world’s premier counter-jihad chatfest features the world’s premiere counter-jihad cartoonist, Bosch Fawstin — indeed, not just the world’s premiere, but the world’s first anti-jihad comic book author and illustrator. He is The Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist who is the creator of the new comic book series, The Infidel, Featuring Pigman, the superhero who is waging a new war against Islam.

Bosch discussed his creation, “Pigman,” his childhood growing up as a Muslim, the threat we face in Islam, our leadership’s failure to confront the threat, and much, much more.

    After reading a Fawstin interview, I immediately went to Comixology and bought both issues of “The Infidel”. I enjoy them a lot. The story line and parallel lives are fairly complex, giving me an excuse to read them several times.

    Fawstin’s interviews, linked at his website, are very powerful. He grew up as a Muslim, knows Islam very well, and has the ability to speak decisively and declaratively.

      Thank you, RonaldB, for getting my comic and for your kind words. Look out for The Infidel 3 in December. It’ll be a Pig-Sized 50 pages.

        Salah,

        “There is a big difference between Islam-o-phobia and Muslim-o-phobia.”

        I think I know what you had in mind when you wrote that. But for me, this part of the comment, could have been confusing about what you’re trying to say; it’s almost certain, some readers will find troubling!

        That’s true our fight is, and should always be, against Islam, the ideology and its belief system. Racism based on race, colour, ethnicity, language or sexism, must never be tolerated!

        Being a Muslim, is a choice, be it conscious or unconscious, based on conviction, fear or just going with the flow, the result is, in general, the same! At least in certain moments of his/her life, inevitably, such person will see his identity fused with the identity of Islam.

        Hence, while we should have compassion and understanding for all human beings and understand that the first victims of Islam, in many cases, are Muslims themselves, we have every right, as individuals, groups, nations and humanity in its entirety, to protect our lives, freedoms, dignity and future generations!

        For example, an Israeli living in Jerusalem, given the recent rash of Jihad attacks on Jews by cars, has every right and it’s only natural and normal for him/her to be vigilant, alert and to take precautions in the vicinity of Muslims and may even be suspicious of them, for his/her security. To be otherwise is utterly stupid!

        Similarly in the west, with terror attacks and the ingenuity by which they’re carried out, being on the rise, and given the very clear belief system of Islam and its plan for humanity, all necessary security measures should be taken and many of them will naturally, and must be, concentrating on Muslim communities and Mosques. These measures for the most part are for surveillance and tracking, not beheading, cutting hands/feet, flogging or beating. All will be under the watchful eye of the law.

        Given the magnitude, scope of danger and the urgency of the situation, I would personally, and I think many would agree, that even discrimination, based on only this issue we’re discussing here, regarding certain sensitive or important job positions should also be lawful.

        These necessary security measures should have been in the west since the 1980’s. One person, who I knew well and studied and knew about Islam in depth, started since the 1980’s, talking about the real grave danger and threat that Islam constituted, not only to the west but to the entire world, and he was frustrated that the then Reagan administration, western governments and the mainstream media, in general, were concentrating their attention and efforts on the USSR and China while the far greater abuses perpetrated, throughout the Muslim world because of Islam, were ignored completely!

        If some Muslims will feel uncomfortable because of or won’t like such measures, it’s their problem! Accept or leave Islam, this how grown up people deal with it and it’s called logic!

        Actually if some of them feel that as kind of personal pain, it’s more the better. Pain is a stronger motivator than pleasure, it’s a well known fact, a scientifically proven principle that unfortunately many western governments have not used in dealing with the threat of Islam.

        To the contrary, the more terrorist Jihad attacks are committed, on western countries soil, the more these governments make it more comfortable and pleasurable for Muslims, by appeasing them, portraying them as victims and singing that stupid song “Islam is the religion of peace and love”, to stay in Islam and continue in the same path which even lead to more Jihad terrorism and emboldenment of the world wide Islamic movement.

        Anthony Robbins should be teaching all these governments, how the force of pain and pleasure shaped humanity’s history, for thousands of years and will continu!e to do so in the future, in the current system of things on this planet.

          @terry,

          I agree; we should never trust Muslims, but we don’t have to put them all in the same basket either. Many Muslims are more then eager to leave Islam, all they need is education (about Islam) and protection (from fellow Muslims.)
          Having said that, there surely must be a price to pay for being a Muslim.
          Check out one previous comment of mine:

        Salah,

        “Muslims must accept profiling – a small price to pay for being Muslim.”

        I opened the link. Thanks for including it.

        I already knew your line of thought and beliefs, as I read many of your comments in the past. Meanwhile I thought it was important to comment on that part “…difference between Islam-o-phobia and Muslim-o-…”, as I was sure that that comment was going to confuse many readers about your true intention.

        Keep up the good work!

    For the record, I created Pigman ten years ago, 2004, and I used to draw individual posters and cartoons of him on my blog. Then came Matamoros in 2007, a comic book against jihad by Darius LaMonica & John Cox. And then I released my print companion to The Infidel, ProPiganda: Drawing the Line Against Jihad in 2009. I then I released The Infidel #1 in march of 2011 (#2 in June of 2012 – & now, #3 next month) and then Frank Miller’s Holy Terror was released in Sept. of 2011. So, yes, technically, I am the “first anti-jihad comic book artist”. I thought that was worth noting.

    “the world’s first anti-jihad comic book author and illustrator”

    Perhaps some day we can look forward to the world’s first anti-Muslim comic book author and illustrator (which, alas,
    Fawstin is not). But I know; baby steps while Rome burns.

    • RonaldB says

      Nov 12, 2014 at 4:35 pm

      Vogelinian,

      With comments like those, I am certain you have not actually read “The Infidel” comics. I’m not convinced you even listened to the Glazov interview with Fawstin, as there is no way to have heard his clear, decisive, powerful condemnation of Islam and accuse him of taking baby steps.

      As to his comics, I’m tempted to make an offer: sign up with Comixology, buy the two issues of “The Infidel” and upon convincing me that you actually read them carefully, if you can still accuse Fawstin of taking “baby steps”, I’ll reimburse you the money for the comics.

      Let me make an observation on the superheroes. The appeal of the superheroes is that they are more powerful and more daring than the average mortal, but they still act according to principle. Superman and Batman, the ones I’m most familiar with, fought criminals with the idea of protecting the weak who would otherwise be victims.

      Do you think a viable superhero would randomly abuse Muslims who had never acted violently or offensively towards anyone? Pigman is uncompromising and violent towards Muslim jihadis and bullies. But, he does not act against individual Muslims who are simply living their lives without participating in jihad or supporting it. That doesn’t mean that he likes their choices, or that he doesn’t challenge them to come to terms with the contradiction between their religion and their peaceful actions, but he doesn’t take aggressive actions towards them.

      In a further sense, let’s take up your thesis that the only effective step is to act against all Muslims, peaceful or not. Now, the most effective action we can take to protect ourselves now, is to stop the immigration of any and all Muslims. The Sufis, the Ismailis, the Ahmadiyyas, the Alewites: all are less violent than the Shi’ites and the Sunnis, and all, once they immigrate, support the suppression of anti-Islamic speech, and open immigration for Muslims. So, there should be NO immigration of ANY Muslims.

      Ali Sina, who is not as active now as he once was, has a very excellent book on Muhammad, called “Understanding Muhammad and Muslims”. Ali Sina is a Muslim apostate. He says once you allow Muslims inside your borders, you lose, because Muslims are the most violent people on Earth. The fundamentalist Muslim has no conscience, as we know it, towards violence against non-Muslims.

      So, the war is about shutting our borders. If we allow further Muslim immigration, we lose. It does NOT involve aggressing towards peaceful Muslims here. Fawstin’s comics are clear and poignant in sounding the alarm and exposing Islam and Muslims. You, and others, should be able to draw your own conclusions and determine your own strategy. But, sniping at anyone who doesn’t advocate a jihad against individual Muslims is not, in my opinion, helpful at all.

      @Vogelinian,

      Don’t forget that Bosch himself grew up as a Muslim. Our fight is against Islam, not Muslims.
      There’s a big difference between Islam-o-phobia and Muslim-o-phobia.

      • PGuud says

        Nov 13, 2014 at 3:43 am

        Islam (doctrine) without a vessel (believer), is a scheme; Islam with a vessel, is a deadly weapon.

        Why is it that Muslims don’t differentiate between “anti-Islam” and “anti-Muslim”?

        Because they will not be fooled by such diversionary nonsense: To be against Islam, is to be against Muslims. They–each and every one of them–know this.

        Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.

          Anybody who thinks that there is a different between anti-Islam and anti-Muslims should have his head examined. The penalty for such nonsense is the reading of the Koran. That should really clear things up for him. The main problem with the Koran is that it is often confusing and allows its interpreters to give it any meaning they want to. Sharia law is only very vaguely based on the Koran, but it is supported by all Muslims. If you don’t believe this, your secondary punishment should be your deportation to all of Dearborn, Michigan, as well as other closed communities in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc., where not even the Police dare to enter and infidels are often summarily executed. Don’t believe it? Try it! Try entering the heart of Dearborn, even by car. If you should get out alive, contact this site and report and let us know what your viewpoint will be then. No need to travel to Syria or Iran/Irak to find out!

    Bosch,

    “I’ve wanted to state this before, upon hearing you, I salute your courage. Laying facts on the line, word for word.

    Few have such courage. God bless you for acting on your courage and your conviction. Thank you for it. Keep on truth telling.

    Thank you, Jami, and Robert, for allowing Bosch this platform.

    Lots of times on this site, I see Robert (and Pamela) insist to leftiest detractors that they are anti-islam, but not anti-muslim.

    I find this position evasively dishonest, because it equates exactly with trying to assert “National Socialism is evil, but individual Nazis are A-OK with me!”

    Without Nazis, “National Socialism” would have simply remained a bad idea.
    And without muslims, ditto for “islam.”

    As Bosch himself put it at FrontPage Magazine:

    “For those who want to make this about Muslims and not Islam, here are some of my thoughts on that:

    First, my name is Bosch and I’m a recovered Muslim, so I have some insight into this, coupled with the fact that I studied Islam as if my life depended on it after 9/11.

    There is Islam and there are Muslims. Muslims who take Islam seriously are at war with us and Muslims who don’t aren’t. But that doesn’t mean we should consider these reluctant Muslims allies against Jihad. I’ve been around Muslims my entire life and most of them truly don’t care about Islam. The problem I have with many of these essentially non-Muslim Muslims, especially in the middle of this war being waged on us by their more consistent co-religionists, is that they give the enemy cover. They force us to play a game of Muslim Roulette since we can’t tell which Muslim is going to blow himself up until he does. And their indifference about the evil being committed in the name of their religion is a big reason why their reputation is where it is.

    So while I understand that most Muslims are not at war with us, they’ve proven in their silence and inaction against jihad that they’re not on our side either, and there’s nothing we can say or do to change that. We just have to finally accept it and stop expecting them to come around, while doing our best to kill those who are trying to kill us.

    Another problem with Muslims who aren’t very Muslim is that they lead some among us to conclude that they must be practicing a more enlightened form of Islam. They’re not. They’re “practicing” life in non-Muslim countries, where they are free to live as they choose. But their “Islam” is not the Islam. There’s no separate ideology apart from Islam that’s being practiced by these Muslims in name only, there’s no such thing as “Western Islam”.

    Non-observant Muslims are not our problem, but neither are they the solution to our problem. Our problem is Islam and its most consistent practitioners. There is nothing in Islam that stays the hand of Muslims who want to kill non-Muslims. If an individual Muslim is personally peaceful, it’s not because of Islam, it’s because of his individual choice, which is why I often say that your average Muslim is morally superior to Mohammad, to their own religion. The very rare Muslim who helps us against Jihad is acting against his religion, but that doesn’t stop some among us from thinking that his choice somehow shines a good light on Islam. It doesn’t. A good Muslim according to us is a bad Muslim according to Islam.”

    A truly awesome and insightful assessment (which is why I saved the article)!

    😉
