This is the kind of thing that happens when you’re so eager to pander that you don’t do adequate homework about the object of your pandering. Marvel has stepped into a minefield, and is likely to explode a few more mines before it gets out.
“Muslim Ms. Marvel Fans Express Serious Concerns About Kamala’s Power Source,” by Brad Lang, CBR, June 23, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
This article contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel Episode 3, “Destined.”
Some Muslim fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest series Ms. Marvel are expressing their displeasure with the recent revelation regarding the source of Kamala Khan’s powers.
As revealed in Ms. Marvel Episode 3, “Destined” the titular hero’s newfound abilities are apparently due to her heritage as a Djinn. As explained by Kamran’s mother Najma, Kamala’s ancestors are otherworldly beings from the Noor dimensions that were banished from their reality sometime before 1942. These people are quickly explained to be the Djinn, creatures from Islamic mythology which can be both good and evil. A number of fans have expressed frustration with the reveal, specifying that the Quran condemns the practice of worshipping Djinn.
Viewers have interpreted Kamala’s Djinn-based powers as an act of “shirk,” the sin of idolatry, which is problematic as practicing Muslims are forbidden from worshiping anything other than Allah. However, despite Ms. Marvel‘s latest plot twist, other fans are convinced the Djinn angle is merely a red-herring designed to obscure the real identity of Kamala’s ancestors. Some MCU enthusiasts suggested that the hero will be revealed to be related to the alien race known as the Kree due to the appearance of an unknown, dead character with blue skin in Episode 3….

“the Quran condemns the practice of worshipping Djinn”: Please cite chapter and verse.
I was unable to find this citation in a quick scan of
https://www.islamreligion.com/articles/669/viewall/world-of-jinn
But I learned there that “One of the powers of the Jinn, is that they are able to take on any physical form they like.” Aha! This explains many hitherto mysterious phenomena: UFOs, Sasquatch, etc.

Oh, this could not happen to a “nicer” gang of pandering opportunists than the slaves to “woke” at Disney!
The Disney wokes’ wallowing in their infatuation with the whole power-to-change-form meme, now also being employed to further the LGBTQ-And-Let’s-Celebrate-the-“Inclusion” of panderers to the vicious and irresponsible “trans-gender” craze which is egging on girls and boys to indulge in the dangerous fantasy that they can “change” their sex via drugs and mutilation!!
Anyone who is cooperating in this particular bit of woke should hang their heads in shame at their spineless groveling to the “woke” agenda at any cost. Which in Disney’s case I hope will run into the billion$$$.

Does she have super powers that make her invulnerable to bullets and bombs?
If so, she would be the perfect mudslime hero. A suicide bomber who can go on mission after mission and kill more infidels.
So I can’t see what they are bitching about, oh, wait, mudslimes are always complaining about something.
Infidel says
Couldn’t they find a more islamic name for the hero than Kamala? How about Aisha? Fatima? Hafsa? Khadijah? There were so many to choose from
Fitna says
They should’ve made her 6 yrs old and she finds a 54 yr old lover to marry who calls himself a prophet and all the Muslims celebrate their wedding and her raping at 9 yrs old.
Wouldn’t that make the muzzies flip out?! What they’re offended by their prophet being portrayed as the pedo he is?
Devasur says
Exactly Kamala is a Hindu name. Thats wokes for you who treat hindus as muslims and Muslims as hindus.
Infidel says
Except that they love muslims but loathe HIndus
Andrew Blackadder says
They,muslims, will always find something to whine about when they are all living in the Western World, on our Dime, or watching Western made Movies which they all seem to love.
Just as they all scream death to Israel, death to the Jews and death to America while using Facebook to spew their garbage which is owned by an American Jewish guy that lives in America..
I guess they just dont follow through on their thought process, but then they are often told not to think as only their allah dude can do that for them.
What a sad ass bunch of weasels they all are.
Devasur says
Kamala? thats a hindu name. the stupidity of wokes or is it deliberate misinterpretation?
gravenimage says
Muslims enraged as Muslim Ms. Marvel turns out to be un-Islamic
…………………………….
What? Her power source isn’t the savagery of Allah? Of course, a lot of pious Muslims would have a problem with that, as well. This pandering never works…
