Muslim Hating Right Now Targets Batman



Right-wing website The Astute Bloggers has rallied the hate of the right, this time focused on Batman.  In a recent issue Batman heads to France to recruit his latest franchisee in Batman, Inc. The latest recruit just happens to be a Muslim Algerian.

From the website Alvin Greene writes:

I knew it was only going to get worse at DC Comics: in his continuing efforts to form Batman Inc, Bruce Wayne recruits an Algerian Muslim living in France, in Clichy-Sous-Bois, where the Muslim riots grew out of in 2005, over the death of 2 delinquents who electrocuted themselves by stupidly entering a power station, and the blame was laid upon at least 2 policemen who weren’t even at fault and didn’t even know they were there. How about that, Bruce Wayne goes to France where he hires not a genuine French boy or girl with a real sense of justice, but rather, an “oppressed” minority who adheres to the Religion of Peace.

The blogger claims this is a sign of DC’ Comics’ false conservative credentials and that the comic book publisher is going down hill.

The blog says it promotes “Universal Human Rights.”  I guess those rights doesn’t include anyone being able to grow up and be Batman.

This comes on the heals of general hate from the right when it comes to Muslims in comic books.  The previous target was the comic book series The 99.
