PETA terrifies small children with comic book depicting mutilated cows

PETA often employs controversy to get its point across to adults, but that usually takes the form of naked celebrities endorsing their message. With children, PETA uses a different strategy altogether — and that has parents in a Woodland Hills, California school district angry enough to consider a lawsuit. PETA distributed comic books with horrifyingly graphic images of butchery in order to terrify children into their ideology:
Claire Borsheim and many other parents at the Woodland Hills campus were outraged after PETA handed out the pamphlets to their children the same day a baby cow was on campus for a lesson about dairy farming.

Egypt: New hijabbed comic superheroine fights Islamophobia

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. When will we get a Muslim comic book superheroine who fights against the “extremists” who have “hijacked” Islam? Or is it only the perceptions of non-Muslims that have to be adjusted, so that as soon as we all come to love jihad, all will be well?
The panels showing Qahera growing enraged by the Western feminists discussing how Muslim women need to be “rescued” are bitterly ironic, given that Western feminists generally make excuses for Sharia oppression of women, rather than speak out against it. What’s more, the Muslim women who really need to be “rescued” are not those who wear the hijab, but — in all too many Muslim countries — those who dare not to wear it.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it is Qahera, a new web-based comic heroine who fights social problems affecting women in Egypt.
