Shocked residents find anti-Islamic pamphlets on their car windscreens
Dubai: Anti-Islamic pamphlets were discovered on car windscreens in Bur Dubai yesterday morning.
The comic book tells the tale of a conversation between a Muslim and a Christian man discussing the difference between the two religions, and ends with the Muslim converting to Christianity and denouncing his faith. In the course of the conversation, the "Christian" man insults Islam, describing Muslims as "moon worshippers" and claims that Islam is a fake religion. The "Muslim" meanwhile insists that the "Islamic flag" will fly over the White House by the year 2010. Muslims will kill all "infidels" then, the book says.
The actual cartoon is not on the Gul News site. Did anyone get one in the wipers?

It is available for viewing here on chick.com
That's if it's not blocked.
I give the link so that interested people may view it. Please do not think that I agree with what it says.
My personal view upon seeing it is that it's just a piece of propaganda - much like the Germans/English/Americans throw out of planes during wars to try to create hysteria or get the locals to succumb/surrender.
Ridiculous.
BTW - I'm currently in Germany so I can see that link.
Apologies if it is blocked in the UAE, but you're seriously not missing out on much.
Chick and his tracts are ridiculed across most of the Christian world and his view of Christianity is a very narrow and unpopular one, to the best of my knowledge.
That sort of nonsense doesn't go down well in most Christian countries - I'm surprised anyone's bother with it in Bur Dubai.
Chick is not christianity it is hate masquerading as religion.
It's not only Islam it defames - the stuff it has against other christian denominations is just bile-raising.
chick! ya know it;s short for chickenshit! toodles!
nzm! yep,it's not blocked!
Ha! I guessed it was Jack Chick when I read this post. I was right!
He has, as redstar mentioned, been mostly ignored by the rest of the Christian world. He has a lot of misplaced fervor.
If muslims are offended, they should see what his views are on the Catholics (his favourite target).
Check out his info on wikipedia.

Hmm...will UAE boycott the USA now? If not, will Denmark will cry foul?
Btw, what exactly is the point of this word verfication system? I've never really understood it!
The question I ask is, is it good enough for Christians to simply ignore the likes of Chick? I will allow that it may even be best to ignore him because giving him attention is what he craves to promote his message. As long as he's hardly noticed, that may be the best policy. But if he attracts enough attention, then Christians need to be make a clear statement disassociating themselves from his ideas and methods.
If we ask that Muslims speak out against those that hijack their religion, shouldn't we be asking the same of Christians?
Mr. Chilton:
When Jack Chick's disciples start blowing up trains and buses, flying planes into buildings or taking hostages and sawing their heads off on the internet, then it will be necessary for "real" christians to actively disassociate from him. Until that point, silence is the best option.
Your ire would be better directed to people like Fred Phelps and Richard Butler.
Mr. Bartman:
I get your point, but maybe we should take a tip and not wait until we get to that point.
Also, what's the difference between
1. A Christian
2. A real Christian
and
3. A "real" Christian.
Mr. Bartman uses form 3. I used form 1.
It's true that Christians are pretty fragmented and one Christian's definition of Christian can rule out others who call themselves Christian. Living with and allowing that ambiguity is inseparable from what it means to be a Christian - hence, I refrain from the use of form 3.
That does not absolve us of the responsibility of speaking out when someone who calls himself a Christian is really promoting hate.
Chick targets Catholics. (And Muslims, etc.)
Chilton targets Chick.
Chilton wants everyone else (claiming similar nomenclature) to target Chick.
Are you even remotely aware of the number of "Christian" denominations and permutations of rituals and doctrines and views and dogmas, Chilton?
Where exactly do we achieve closure, Chilton?
