“Nothing to do with the terrorist group ISIS,” of course, just as we are constantly told that jihad terror has nothing to do with Islam. It’s just a marvelous coincidence: “the superhero existed for years as a woman who draws power from an Egyptian amulet.” If the superhero’s name was KKK, nothing to do with the Ku Klux Klan, of course, you can be sure they would change it. But these clowns hate Donald Trump and the resistance to jihad terror far more than they hate the Islamic State and jihad terror.
“‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ producer admits Muslim character ‘Isis’ a response to Trump,” by Douglas Ernst, Washington Times, August 4, 2017:
Producers for The CW’s popular series “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” had President Trump on their minds when they decided to introduce a Muslim character.
The Television Critics Association press tour held this week in Beverly Hills, California, briefly touched on U.S. politics when “Legends of Tomorrow” executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Phil Klemmer discussed the character Isis, who will be played by actress Tala Ashe.
“You might have heard there was this election,” Variety reported Wednesday after the event. “Not to get political, but something that we all gravitated toward in the writers room was making this character Muslim.”
“We’re all looking toward the day when 2017 is in the history book and hopefully isn’t the last day in the history book,” Mr. Klemmer added.
Ms. Ashe’s character has nothing to do with the terrorist group ISIS, or Islamic State. The superhero existed for years as a woman who draws power from an Egyptian amulet, although Mr. Guggenheim said the injection of religion into the television version’s origin was inspired by his sister-in-law.
“She was talking about how difficult it is to be a Muslim-American in the current political climate,” the producer said. “Having a character who’s a computer hacker and is from the future but also happens to be Muslim, it’s a nice, important aspect of her character.”…
mortimer says
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is working for the Muslim Brotherhood which is the Egyptian copy of the Nazi Party.
DC is making propaganda for a fascist organization without realizing it.
John Forbes says
More deliberate DENIAL ! ISLAM is an IDEOLOGY Masquerading as a religion & NOT of peace !
A read of The Life of Mohammed who the Muslims claims is the PERFECT MAN reveals a MONSTER who killed, raped children & women along with waged war on all who did not believe !
A read of the KORAN & HADITHS & SUNNA reveals hundreds of verses advocating violence & rape & killing of non believers , apostates, gays !
ISIS is just following to the LETTER the directions of this totally violent INTOLERANT IDEOLOGY !!
ISLAM is the 21 st Century Fascism & I believe easily as dangerous as the Fascists of the 1930:s but they have been brought into our HOMES without consultation by our STUPID & IGNORANT GOVERNMENTS for whom RELIGIOUS FANATICISM is not understood , believed & WORSE DENIED !
The denial I believe comes because NOW they really do not know what to do SO SHUTTING DOWN the debate is the ONLY CONCEIVABLE answer for the COWARDS !
These COWARDS RISK our FUTURE , OUR CHILDREN”S Future & our GRAND CHILDREN;s Future & this is SOMETHING they must not be able to threaten or destroy mainly because they do not OWN THIS !!
John A. Marre says
OK. So they willingly kiss the ass of murderers and rapists, and thereby give them unqualified support, just so they can show their hate for Trump who vowed to wipe out the murderers and rapists.
I hope the murderers and rapists burst into their office, and show them exactly what it means to be in ISIS.
Adan Tirith says
As much of a pile of regressive nonsense this is, there is actually an Egyptian deity named Isis. If I remember correctly, she has the head of a crane.
Kakodaemon says
She is human in her depictions. The ibis headed god you are thinking of is Thoth
Dwayne Austin says
“a character who’s a computer hacker…from the future…Muslim,”
In other words a Muslim hacker stealing other people’s data!
Bezelel says
“Having a character who’s a computer hacker and is from the future but also happens to be Muslim, it’s a nice, important aspect of her character.”… it’s a nice, important aspect of her character.”… it’s a nice, important aspect of her character.”…WTF? a friggin role model. Can you imagine the muslim reaction when the character’s costume and behavior don’t meet the standards? I’m hoping this backfires.

“She was talking about how difficult it is today to be a muslim-american in cultural political climate”

Really? It’s far more difficult to even examine and or address the the issue of homicidism, across the globe now, by one group, one religion that has a 1400 yr old history of political submission of other religons, demanding special treatement over all other religions, and part of that special treatment is to not be evaluated as are all other religions.
Of course, victimology sells way more tickets by beating up the cultures that promote tolerance, by calling them intolerant, rather than asking about intolerant cultures and or an intolerant religion that refuses to be evaluated, lest it makes them rage.

Not nearly as difficult as being a sane and thoughtful person who sees what is happening in the world and with a death cult of a religion, complete with hateful, supremacist and violent doctrine and ideology (that is regularly put into action) that those in media with a voice ignore in the name of political correctness….and knowing that they have no effing idea how God-damned ignorant and dangerous they are.

It’s such a pity millions will suffer or die because these idiots are promoting ISIS. However when they realise they also will have to convert or die it will be too late and it will be bye bye freedom.

““She was talking about how difficult it is to be a Muslim-American in the current political climate,” the producer said.”
Sure, it’s so difficult making taxpayers provide foot baths at colleges, getting school schedules to change during Ramadan, forcing employers to modify work schedules in order for Muslims to pray, orchestrating BDS marches against Israel, shouting down “Nazi” speakers, ensuring that all “kuffar” religious symbols are removed from communal prayer rooms before Muslim prayer times, insisting that local police departments investigate hate crimes (like some evil Islamophobe leaving ham/bacon at a mosque), and on.

Well then, why not give all the DC Comics characters a religion.

Westman says
Playing with current politics in a fantasy production is gambling, at best. Artists and journalists generally have little understanding that politics affects money. Turning off a sizable portion of the audience for the sake of promoting stealth Islam as SJWs is bad economics. Won’t be supporting it with my dime.
Brian Hoff says
The show will do alright. You people are under the illusion that all member of society are anti-Islam or anti-moslim.
Westman says
Hardly. No one said the franchise will go broke. No production makes more fun of sacred cows than, “The Simpsons”, and their success proves just about anything can be said with humor.
Perhaps anything can also be preached with fantasy. However, from the film investors view, a profit of $200 million may not be preferable to $400 million. It seems that many TV dramas and films are now selling someones pet issue. If you want to see how riculous it looks in the light of history, watch reruns of the Mod Squad.
If you can’t see a division happening, as serious as the North-South split before the Civil War, you aren’t observing. We have the left attempting to unseat an elected president instead of preparing to win through an election. That is a sedition which will destroy the last vestige of cooperation between the political parties and may result in violence in the streets.
Unlike political cooperation in the 1950’s, our current politicians have proven to be obstructionists, no matter what party is in power, and have led the society to follow suit into division.
gary says
Well said Westman..Although the violence in the streets is already happening, started in the University’s, only to get worse.

utis says
When muslim ISIS (the morons) tried changing their name to ISIL, IS, Daech, etc. (and the dhimmi Euro politicians and dhimmi Obama fell in behind), I kept ISIS as I see others have. As a youngster, I was fascinated by ancient Egypt and knew a lot of their gods. The goddess Isis is vastly more interesting than any muslim heroine or superheroine.
DC is putting its foot right into the cesspool, blending islamic and ancient Egyptian concepts. They’re are still gonna swing when the ummah (or some pseudo-lone wolf) comes looking for them.
Anne Smith says
Utis is right, the ancient Egyptian goddess of Isis was nothing whatsoever to do with Islam which hadn’t been heard of in those days, indeed the ancient gods of Egypt came long before Judaism or Christianity.
It is striking how many of their beliefs actually supercede and foreshadow the Christian beliefs, such as virgin birth and the struggle to change the religion to one of monotheism instead of polytheism.
The ancient Egyptians were streets ahead of the primitive Musselmen even though they lived thousands of years before them.
Such a pity that the horrible men of Daesh stole the name of a very interesting goddess.
SK says
Quite a few of the foreshadowings you had read about are largely unknown to mainstream Egyptology scholars; if you look at scholarly literature, you would probably have difficulty finding the parallels between Christianity and Egyptian beliefs that appear in popular-level material.

Wellington says
Just as there’s no heinousness that Islam can’t sink to, so is it the case that there is no idiocy that modern liberalism is incapable of. Really, it’s deuce difficult to get more idiotic than defending a belief system in Islam, which is a mortal enemy of liberty, all the while thinking you’re progressive and ahead of the curve.
As demonstrated here by people who would neither understand nor embrace the comic book standard of old——–truth, justice and the American way. Indeed, they would mock it and this in and of itself speaks volumes.

I heard that the original plan was to give her a costume with a picture of Mohammad on her shirt, but that idea was quickly killed. Or was it the cartoonist?

You’d think cartoonists of all people should know about the danger of offending muslims. And who made the “difficult political climate” anyway? Other muslims being true muslims.

Oh, great. And the idea that this has nothing to do with the Islamic State might be more plausible if this character *wasn’t Muslim*.
I was inspired by comic heroes when I was a kid. That would be more difficult now…
mousey says
actually they aren’t going to use the name isis even though the character is i guess based on isis that first made her appearance in dc comics in 1976 or so. Her name will be Zari Adrianna. Worse though is “she’s there to challenge their goal and to set the group on a different path” according to wrap article.

Good research, mousey.

Actually I think this all relates to the character of Hawkwoman who as an ancient Egyptian Princess in fact well & truly pre-dates the Moslem infestation of this planet, so I wouldn’t exactly call her a Mozzie…
It’s not like the Marvel Mozzie character that is a deliberate “pc” snub to humanity!
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
I’ve seen her portrayal. To my eyes there is nothing ‘ancient Egyptian’ about it.

You must have missed the early episodes that related to the obsessed Gypo priest bloke who wanted her. Anyway, I have the whole season on dvd and have never seen anything to indicate she ever became a camel humper…

will the character be a cis gender male or non binary?

Northgunner says
They tried. .
Marvel tried to introduce a female moslem teenager character that had as a special power of a dust storm.
Don’t know how well it did but hopefully it bombed (no pun intended).
Never forget that Stan Lee is a big supporter of the Clintons.

Geezer of London says
I see this as the kind of cynical trolling typical of the entertainment industry nowadays.
If I understand correctly there was a pre-existing superhero character called “Isis” based on the Egyptian mythology, and these hacks have basically said “hey look, she’s called Isis, let’s make her Muslim! You know like ISIS! That’ll show those Trumpers!” Unbelievably shallow, hacky trolling, and evidence of their total lack of creative ability or artistic insight.
It’s surely guaranteed to annoy Muslims – do they really think they can call a Muslim character “ISIS” and not get a massive backlash from the ‘ISIS isn’t Muslim’ brigade?

Since you are the the rave of the Huffington and Washington Post for what on the face of it passes for mocking The President of the United States. No he’s not just Donald Trump. Today when you disect him you’re also attacking the Office of The Presidency. the Soros’ army and Media has been doing so since the Primaries and have never stopped. This weakens any positive program he is trying to initiate and therefore harms the recipients You diminish his ability to stabilize a politically and militarily shaky World
Now the challenge take your Medicare music to IS held territory, find them and play your music for them for a short time before you’re beheaded. You think I’m making this UP because you’re ignorant. music is not an accepted part of there world.

This muslim super hero thing is another step in the cultural jihad.
A few weeks ago I was viewing a tv sitcom from 2000 were a character feels very guilty about something he did so he goes to a series of religious ministers to know how he can redeem himself.
Since this was the year 2000, before 9/11 and all this muslim cry babies always screaming islamophobia the ministers he visited were a catholic priest, a rabi, and a buddist/new age/hippie sort o guy. Does anybody believe that if the tv show was filmed today he would not be talking to an imam? The tv show creators would immediately be considered islamophobes and WAYCISTS…
So here we are laughing and dancing our way into the cliff.

This show should be reported to the child protective services….and the director and staff should be sent a copy of an authentic Quran….that couldn’t even be read to children due to the brutal nature. But of course nothing will happen since the left gleefully thinks they have made an important statement and might be “all in” in trying to humiliate Trump….they also want to get him to the head doctors sounds eerily like Soviet collusion to me….all this support for a doctrine that nobody read….how is this possible I think, then I think about Germany prewar time when no one could believe the rumors they were hearing. IT could be the child protective services should be interested in understanding of the dangers isis really presents to children and all life and where this type of terror gets it’s commands and the reasons the are in warfare of jihad.

Isn’t there a sentence of death for someone who worships satan in another form than the one currently in use by moslums? Don’t moslums say they are against polytheism?
What a crooked, mixed up, messed up, confused, corrupt, deceitful and deluded world of people there are at this time.
As Christ got tired of dealing with those who refused to see the light, and asked, “How long must I continue putting up with you?”…are some of us when reading or hearing of what moslums and their enablers are doing to help the beast control more and more people for satan.
