#2 Comics and cartoons are a great way to deal with these buffoons. Laugh at them. Have the comic book heroes kick the shit out of them. Show them being de-robed. Beards set on fire. There's no end to the merriment that could be depicted. Not only that, it really would raise the awareness of the young populace to the menace in front of them. It would influenece their thinking, just like Superman and Batman did here over the generations.

#3 Years ago the EU came out with what had to be the lamest comic hero ever. It was more PC than Captain Planet, it was "Captain Euro":

And of course, like any bureaucracy, it remains, like a dead raccoon under the porch.

Be sure to check out the "Baddies", the villains that he has to try to talk to death in endless meetings, I guess. "Junior" looks like George Michael. An evil parrot?

#4 The comic -- printed in 100,000 copies and distributed to every secondary school in Germany's most populous state -- aims to show young people the difference between peaceful mainstream Islam and the violent, intolerant version peddled by militants.

i.e. the difference between something which is not Islam and something which is supported by the Koran, the life of the "prophet" and over a thousand years of Muslim jurisprudence.

#5 ...they launched Andi last October into a second adventure featuring his Muslim girlfriend Ayshe and her brother Murat...

Do they tell about Ayshe becoming the victim of an honor killing when her dad finds out she has an infidel boyfriend?
