This is an attempt to impose Islamic law’s prohibition of criticism of Islam and Muhammad upon Google. Since Barack Obama has said that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” Google may find itself short on friends in high places. “Jordanian lawyers sue Google over anti-Islam video,” by Courtney […]

This is so great: now we have two Muslim comic book superheroines, Qahera and Kamala. Clearly some Muslims in the media business realize that Islam has a serious image problem; what they don’t realize is that comic book heroines fighting against “Islamophobia” won’t solve it.
