#5  From a comment in Sir Richard Burton's Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah and Meccah the pre-Islam witchcraft involved using pictures of creatures and people in casting spells. He had to cut up his sketches and hide them in folded/rolled-up form in his bandages and other kit.

#4  For all that happened I apologize...

Uh, that's not an apology. An apology would be worded "For all that I did, I apologize."

Will all the BLM and SJW crybullies now jump all over this Muzzie artist and Marvel?
