Cartooning and Islam, OhNoRobot Style


Let's see what light OhNoRobot can shed on cartoonists' perspectives on Islam, which is something of a hot-button topic right now and one of my long-standing interests.

Beyond the Punchline summarizes the current mess.

Indie Rock Pete reminds us that for some Americans, all "Muslim" is is the new "Asian chick."

Contrariwise, Wondermark catches a holy Muslim in an unguarded moment.

Monkey Law has a couple perspectives on the Jerusalem issue.

Still pretty much "outside looking in," but it's a start.

Comments:
I still can't get over how suprised the newspaper editors were over the backlash.

Were these guys asleep in 1988 when Salman Rushdie had to pack up and go into hiding for over a decade because of a book he wrote?

Maybe they should read more Wikipedia.

Duh!
 
Web animation rather than strict webcomics, but Scott Bateman has a take on it.
