Muslim superhero comic meets resistance in the US.

In Western culture, the burka is generally seen as a sign of oppression.

I wouldn't disagree with them either.

Saudi Arabia is not an Islamic and sharia compliant country don't make it your resource on Islam. In Saudi Arabia culture have been injected into Islam and ruined it. I want real Islam in my country not stupid Bedouin clerics laws they market as Islam.

The Saudi Arabian government, which has been an absolute monarchy since its inception, refers to its system of government as being Islamic.The kingdom is sometimes called "The Land of the Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca), and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (in Medina), the two holiest places in Islam.The primary source of law is the Islamic Sharia derived from the teachings of the Qu'ran and the Sunnah.The Sharia court system constitutes the basic judiciary of Saudi Arabia and its judges and lawyers form part of the ulema, the country's religious leadership. However, there are also extra-Sharia government tribunals which handle disputes relating to specific royal decrees.Final appeal from both Sharia courts and government tribunals is to the King and all courts and tribunals follow Sharia rules of evidence and procedure. The Saudi system of justice has been criticized for being slow, arcane,lacking in some of the safeguards of justice and unable to deal with the modern world.

The physical punishments imposed by Saudi courts, such as beheading, stoning, amputation and lashing, and the number of executions have been strongly criticized. The death penalty can be imposed for a wide range of offences including murder, rape, armed robbery, repeated drug use, apostasy, adultery, witchcraft and sorcery and can be carried out by beheading with a sword, stoning or firing squad, followed by crucifixion.The 345 reported executions between 2007 and 2010 were all carried out by public beheading. The last reported execution for sorcery took place in 2007 and three subsequent convictions for witchcraft did not result in execution. Although repeated theft can be punishable by amputation of the right hand, only one instance of judicial amputation was reported between 2007 and 2010. Homosexual acts are punishable by flogging or death. Lashings are a common form of punishment and are often imposed for offences against religion and public morality such as drinking alcohol and neglect of prayer and fasting obligations.Retaliatory punishments, or Qisas, are practised: for instance, an eye can be surgically removed at the insistence of a victim who lost his own eye.

Other human rights issues that have attracted strong criticism include the extremely disadvantaged position of women

There are about 25 million people who are Muslim, or 97% of the total population.About 85–90% of Saudis are Sunni, while Shias represent around 10–15% of the Muslim population.The official and dominant form of Sunni Islam in Saudi Arabia is commonly known as Wahhabism (a name which some of its proponents consider derogatory, preferring the term Salafism founded in the Arabian peninsular by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the eighteenth century, is often described as 'puritanical', 'intolerant' or 'ultra-conservative'. However, proponents consider that its teachings seek to purify the practise of Islam of any innovations or practices that deviate from the seventh-century teachings of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad and his companions.

As noted earlier (see Politics) Saudi Arabia is a source of Sunni Islamist activity, including violent or terrorist Islamist activity and "donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide".conservative tendency has been bolstered by the austerely puritanical Wahhabi form of Islam, which arose in the eighteenth century and now predominates in the country. The many limitations on behaviour and dress are strictly enforced both legally and socially. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited, for example, and there is no theatre or public exhibition of films. Public expression of opinion about domestic political or social matters is discouraged. There are no organizations such as political parties or labour unions to provide public forums.


and.... human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have repeatedly expressed concern about the state of human rights in Saudi Arabia.

Non-Islamic?...think again....Maybe the picture is not really as pretty as you want the world to believe it to be.

As I said before it is too strict to be Islamic.

 

[Urbanized Greyhound]

Decent animation though....But the "noor stones" ?... really?....

No offense , but aside from the backstory ...the heroes and their powers are a complete rip-off from the X men series ...nothing innovative ...

Or maybe its tough love...hmm?

Its not just about being strict....read my excerpt from a rather long passage once again.

YOU are trying to teach me Islam just now?? Really??

 

[Soumitra]

Unlike what many Indians like to project, much of India has a conservative culture as well, and it has nothing to do with religion.

Comeon now. Our comic superheros incude Nagraj who is helped by Icchadhari nagins like saudangi and visarpi who show more cleavage then they cover

I agree, the story line is fine. But the heroes need to be more creative. Also, should be suited for an international audience.

As long as there is speedy justice for all, then there is no need for Saudi's version of Law & Order.

Would you like me to? I can try if you insist.

Anyhow...how do you feel about my criticism..? Would you like to pass a fatwa against me? Maybe a public flogging, if you like kinky stuff with whips and all.

The point is what is the audience at which these comics are targeted . If its only in the Arab World , well and good ...but if its meant for an international audience ..then the creator should start making his heroes dress in suits instead of burqas .

Even an Arabic/Islamic hero called Jabbar can be dressed in Western attire .
