I had heard about this on the radio and decided to do some searching. Is this what our grandchildren will be exposed to?

This sort of thing is old news. Years ago some Gaza production was using someone dressed up in a Mickey Mouse costume for a "kid's show" out there that ended up with assasinations and the infidel Mouse eventually being killed.

It's pathetic. Just goes to demonstrate how weak some people are when it comes to religion. Their faith in their faith is so threadbare that they have to go to such extreme measures to try and convert or keep people in line.

That was over there, not here. They will run on U.S. television.

Ok, I had to dig into that article to find reference to making "The 99" an animated series. And it IS listed on "The Hub" as one of the shows they will be presenting (though no schedule information indicating which age-group block will contain it). They also listed shows based on on R. L. Stine books, Fraggle Rock, Pound Puppies, G. I. Joe and Strawberry Shortcake, among others.

But there's one very important factor missing from that article and even your original post.

*PARENTS*.

They should be the ones controlling what comes into the house - but that's another debate.

I just cannot believe the lack of interest in this subject.

Yoda, this isn'tintended as a slam but, when viewed in context, it's next to nothing.

You're talking about an animated series which, from the looks of it:

- Has yet to be produced
- Showing on a channel that is just getting started, that hardly anyone knows about
- Who's timeslot is unknown.
- Who's premiere date is unknown, unannounced.
- Is grouped in with a lot of other worthless pablum.

It's like it was made out of a 6-pack of "Who Gives A Spit?" People are far more worried about their mortgages and jobs than something with the list of digs against it that I outlined.

Just curious what your comments might be if there was a "proposed" comic book on Jesus and Mary and the President of the United States endorsed it publicly ?

Same ?

I'm sure the cartoon series which is supposed to present 99 superheroes each of which is supposed to rep present one quality of Allah. They will be fighting bad people. In all probability they will be fighting the infidels. Pretty soon the children will be asking "did, who is the infidel?"

Don't say that it cannot happen. Why do you think it is that very young children in Palestine hate Jews.

You're assuming anyone will WATCH this in anything more than trivial numbers.

And, remember, when we were young, all the "advocates" though we would jump off buildings with umbrellas and hit people with anvils from watching Looney Tunes.

SO again,it would be just fine with you if the President of the United States extolled the virtues of and endorsed a comic book dedicated to Jesus and Mary ????

Ok, did I miss something here? Where did the President get involved with this?

Yoda, have you looked at the website for the comic book series The 99? If you are really interested take a look at the comic's characters and look at the history of the plot starting with the main Muslim character Dr. Ramzi Razem who is recruiting the 99 children who hold the gems of knowledge to help "to change the course of human civilization," according to the comic website.

Take a minute to look up the real world history of the words and places in the comic. Like the main character Dr. Razem's work with UNESCO, a real life United Nations organization or MAMLUK or even the real history of The Escorial, Madrid...all mentioned in the main character's background.

About half way through Yoda's link is a video of our President !!!

I only had access to the text. Embedded videos don't often work on some of my computers.

So what is it that I missed? What was the gist of the video? It wasn't really referenced in the text.

Again, DJPLONG...this is not such a big deal, but IN THE TEXT, you should have found this sentence....

"However, no matter how edifying the comic books may be for Muslim families, it is bizarre to see the President of the United States endorsing such religiously-inspired products, because they upheld the "teachings and tolerance of Islam."

In the video, our President alludes to "the most innovative response...." being that of the author of the books.

Why do I keep posting on this is because you seem to be very tolerant of our President and the muslim faith...great...but you have NO tolerance for anything that is Catholic or Catholic related. That surely is your right, but it is also mine to point out the obvious lack of consistency in your view as relates to this President and some religions. I cannot imagine you being tolerant had the remark of the quotes been based on a Jesus, Mary book !

Without changing directions of this thread but keeping with what I am trying to say...in the other thread you were very quick to find reasons to defend the President's wife in the voting area...a women with more advisors and smarts than most...and quick to mock or be sarcastic of those on the other side of the political spectrum. That is certainly your right...but when you are faced with someone saying it, you retreat and try to become a neutral observer of life...that is my only point.

I respect anyones opinion but distrust those who will not admit and stand up for what they believe in....I have openly said how I mistrust this President and how he has lied and how weak and bad his policies (especially the contrived and really bad health bill) but you try to walk the middle until you are called on it. With this man and this congress, I cannot see middle ground on very much !
