More sad than uplifting to me; however, that's the spin you get from the war-promoting AmeriKan media:
"Kids dream up a Muslim superhero in a wheelchair" by Associated Press | September 27, 2010
NEW YORK — Comic book fans will soon be getting their first glimpse at an unlikely new superhero — a Muslim boy in a wheelchair with superpowers.
Yes, a GOOD MUSLIM is SUCH a NOVELTY!
The new superhero is the brainchild of a group of disabled young Americans and Syrians who were brought together last month in Damascus by the Open Hands Initiative, a
nonprofit organization founded by US philanthropist and businessman Jay T. Snyder.
We do such good after putting them in such condition!
How many tax breaks was this guy given and how did he make his money?
I no longer trust elite "philanthropists," sorry.
You usually find out they BENEFITED from the WARS in SOME WAY!
The superhero’s appearance hasn’t been finalized, but an early sketch shows a
Muslim boy who
lost his legs in a
landmine accident and later
becomes the Silver Scorpion after discovering he has the power to
control metal with his mind.

At this point I WELL UP with tears because THIS IS the EXPERIENCE the KIDS DREW ON to MAKE THEIR SUPERHERO!!
I'm sorry, AmeriKa, but WE LOST MINDS with our MASS-MURDERING WARS of LIES!!
I don't even consider it "we" anymore because I NEVER SIGNED OFF on any of this and was IN the STREETS for THREE YEARS!!
Sharad Devarajan, cofounder and CEO of Liquid Comics whose company is turning the young people’s ideas into pictures and a story line, said the goal is to release the first comic book — launching the disabled Muslim superhero — in early November in both Arabic and English.
Yes, HARDLY an UNLIKELY THING, is it?
Snyder said he was inspired by President Obama’s effort to reach out to the Muslim world in his January 2009 inaugural address.
When is he going to recall all the fighting forces and stop dropping missiles and bombs on them? When he does get back to me.
Last month, Snyder flew 12 disabled Americans to Damascus to meet their Syrian peers, and one of their main goals was to come up with ideas and story lines for the new superhero.
“The
only limit was the imagination these kids had — the
opportunity for a great story,’’ said Snyder, a comic book collector who heads HBJ Investments LLC. “They helped create something by their combined talents, and that becomes a
gift to the world.’’
Wait, wait, stop wheeling me around. I think I'm going to be sick.

Yeah, LAND MINES and CLUSTER BOMBS littering places like Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and other places is SUCH A GREAT THING!
We all get a COMIC BOOK(?) out of it!
I'm starting to wonder if that is what The Boston Globe has become, readers.
Cartoon caricatures of Muslim "terrorists" and every other group that dares oppose the agenda.
