Comixology makes a iOS app for Kuwaiti 99 propaganda

It seems that the online comics store Comixology has turned to dhimmitude, and CBR's Brigid Alverson, another leftist dhimmi, has paid lip service to this appalling act, by making an iOS app for Naif al-Mutawa's propaganda comic called the 99. The latter says:
The 99 was created by Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa as a way to promote peace and understanding; the title refers to the 99 names of the Prophet Mohammed, and the characters are envisioned as role models embodying Islamic values that are shared by other cultures. We asked comiXology CEO David Steinberger to talk to us about this new addition to the line.
Keep going, this is getting just so boring already. And as I once discovered, al-Mutawa himself tried a disgraceful trick implying that Judaists/Hindus were a problem while sidestepping any serious matters involving his own Religion of Rape.

While we're on the subject, I guess I'll also focus on this article on The Blaze, which brings up some of al-Mutawa's moral equation methods (some propagandists are quite good at that these days, especially the British), and how this actually resulted in his products being partly banned in Saudi Arabia. But what raises eyebrows is al-Mutawa's comments on Frank Miller's Holy Terror at the end:
Al-Mutawa called “Holy Terror” par for the historical course for Islam.

“There’s no denying that terrible things have happened in the name of my religion – as they have in the names of most religions, if not all religions,” he said. “As human beings, we’re a little bit lazy. We don’t like to change the schemas in our minds. We like to fit new information into existing schemas. That’s why to some people anything to do with Islam is going to be bad.”
Well gee, what do you expect when there's only so many verses condoning violence and even what are today called socialist ideologies in the Koran? Most importantly, what do you expect when the very founder of the Religion of Rape, Muhammed, was a warmonger who willfully took a 6-year-old girl, Aisha, as one of his brides? As you'll notice in the first line, he does criticize and seems to have a problem with the approach and premise used in Miller's graphic novel, and then fails to consider that not all religions call for the kind of perverse viewpoints that his does.

Furthermore, even before 2000, I can't say that there was ever a powerhouse confrontation of Islam in itself in the realms of popular fiction and showbiz. Terrorism committed by Arabic types was occasionally focused on, but Islam rarely, if at all. So contrary to what Mutawa says, I'm afraid it's hardly "par for the course", historically or otherwise.

Thus, a shame that Comixology is going out of their way to pander to Mutawa and peddle propaganda that's otherwise likely to just languish around with few caring about it.
