“Islamic liberals who have long preached tolerance lament that their religion is tarred by extremists and by Westerners who contend that the Osama bin Ladens of the world represent a whole culture.”
Indeed, any direct mention of religion is conspicuously absent from the comics. A note in one issue explains why: “The religious backgrounds of the heroes remain undisclosed so that no religion or faith can be perceived as better than another.” Now that’s a heroic value.
Yo, Yenta!
From the edge of the Diaspora rises a new generation of Jewish mother
I applaud their effort to keep the Arab comic secular. I agree that extremists in any religion can ruin the reputation to the largely ignorant public. Also, how do you guys always find stuff like the Jewish Hero Corps? That was a hilarious page, you Jmerica people are great at fishing out all facets of our Jewish culture.
why is it called AK comics? I’m not ragging on the Arabs but, AK? LMAO! AK47? Sounds a little similar there buddies! I’m might just say that they are obsessed with the weapon, or maybe it was a subconcious / habitiual occurance. AK! wow thats rich…
Chico you can’t spell. I see nothing wrong with the name or the books, they look professionally done. I wish them the best actually.
dude I still think AK is hella funny.
Check out this Jalila character: http://www.akcomics.com/Profiles/JalilaUniverse/profilejalila.htm
she’s kinda hot for a comic book heroine. It looks like she’s fighting a fictional version of the PLO & The Isreali army. Pretty interesting, check it out.
