99 Problems But a Cape Ain't One: Conservatives Attack Islamic Superheroes - ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

Comic Alliance has posted a great article about the backlash against the 99 franchise. The 99 are a multi-ethnic team of SuperHeroes who draw their powers from the 99 attributes of Allah. I think that people should think about these characters and what they represent but I think censoring them so that Children aren't exposed to Islam is stupid. What is the difference between the 99 and Marvel Comics' Thor? Thor was a god of Norse mythology and there is a day of the week named after him. Can you get any more religious than that? The difference is that there are few, if any, people worshiping Thor while they are about a billion worshipers of Allah. However as a Christian, I'm not worried about my children being exposed to the Norse Religion or Islam because Christianity can stand up to scrutiny and investigation - no problem.
