Using one of the most popular and beloved cartoon characters of all time to pretty much push your religion into children's brains? Well that's not wrong at all.

 . That's completely brainwashing their children! (Not that they didn't do that to us...) |

Well it's not just pushing religion, it's pushing violence.

Yikes. This one's a double edged sword. Granted, the obvious. But on the other hand, it gives bigots and racists another reason to assume that's what Islam is all about. (Which it's not...What we're seeing here is the classic 'a few bad apples ruin the bunch'.)
BTW, can anyone here translate Arabic? For all we know, some redneck put in the subtitles, and what they're saying is skewed and taken way out of context...? (Grain of salt.)

Hadn't thought of that... Meh. We'll have to trust the subs because I don't think there's anyone here that can translate that... Or maybe there is...  |

If that's true then that's indeed sickening. Wouldn't be the first time:

This easily could have been taken out of context.
1) The translations could be skewed and/or misinterpreted
2) This show could be extremely unpopular, shunned, and hated in Palestine
3) This show could be old and outdated
4) The show could be a complete knock off and not even heard of amongst your every day Palestinian
5) We're all viewing this with ethnocentric eyes
Not really my place to judge, so I won't. >_> My country produces SHIRT that's just as bad.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Can anyone on here understand what they're actually saying? Because then we could know for sure. |

Well the sad reality is that no matter what the belief is...There's someone who has institutionalized and packaged it for mass assimilation. This is no exception.

That's just gross. :/ It doesn't make me think badly of Islam though. I've never actually met a Muslim. But overall it genuinely seems to be out for good, the middle east is just a messing situation I can't begin to dissect, most can't. It would take a degree in both history and theology to even approach it realistically...
