I looked around, trying to decide what other examples we could gather up here of leftists to shake our heads at how they cannot respect Frank Miller's right to criticize what he feels is a violent religion. And the example I will present here now is none other than G. Willow Wilson, she who went astray courtesy of her being raised in an athiest society with no guidance on how to judge religion. She said on her Twitter page:
Wow, this makes me wish I were the one writing Holy Terror rather than Miller! Yes, I'm jealous. For me, this would be something to be proud of, wear as a badge of honor, you get the idea.
I guess we could also add another review I found through the Dixonverse site, where the writer swerves into more leftist absurdity, and says:
Another poster also gives his take on the so-called review I'd found earlier on Comics Alliance, saying that:
Why would anyone hostile to the Jewish society ever want to read their creations? It just shows how absurd today's leftist mindset can be.
So there's some more examples of just how the left is behaving on the subject, and only beclowning themselves as they go along.
- Will Eisner Was Aware Of Islamic Anti-semitism
I made a most amazing discovery about the late cartoonist Will Eisner, who produced some of the first book-length comics to be described as "graphic novels" in his time in a February 2004 New York Times article at the time he was completing his last book,...
- But What About You, Ms. Hudson? What Do You Know About Islam?
Leftist Comics Alliance is continuing their own anti-Frank Miller agenda, clearly vindictive against him for having the guts to confront Islamofascism. Their abysmal head honcho, Laura Hudson, point to a video interview on Newsarama where he said that...

Frank Miller's bold new venture focusing on jihadism has come out, and as expected, there are some on the left who more or less despise him for that. And if there's any leftist review I find that's really biased, it's this one at leftist...

Some more examples of leftists disrespectful of Frank Miller's free speech rights
I looked around, trying to decide what other examples we could gather up here of leftists to shake our heads at how they cannot respect Frank Miller's right to criticize what he feels is a violent religion. And the example I will present here now is none other than G. Willow Wilson, she who went astray courtesy of her being raised in an athiest society with no guidance on how to judge religion. She said on her Twitter page:
Wow, this makes me wish I were the one writing Holy Terror rather than Miller! Yes, I'm jealous. For me, this would be something to be proud of, wear as a badge of honor, you get the idea.I guess we could also add another review I found through the Dixonverse site, where the writer swerves into more leftist absurdity, and says:
Frank Miller wrote and drew this comic as a result of the September 11 attacks on the United States, and at the time, the United States was very angry. And honestly, a lot of our popular media was filled with ignorant and racist portrayals of Muslims and all middle easterners.Really? Oh please. One of the posters on the Dixonverse forum said in response:
What a joke of a review. It says more about the reviewer than it does about the product, not least because of the reviewer's propensity to continually talk about himself and his feelings rather than the actual story.There have been terrorist attacks with nail bombs in past years in Israel, and one listed on this page at the otherwise leftist BBC about bombings in past years. Another report can be found here at the UK Telegraph. And here's news of a recent one in Indonesia in a church. Just what kind of disgrace is that who would dismiss such a horrific weapon so trivially?
Not that I'm assuming any great subtlety on the matter in Frank Miller's book, but I rather imagine the reviewer is the kind of guy who dismisses any media with Muslim terrorists as bad guys and America as good guys to be "simple-minded," "propaganda," and "racist." It's ironic how he keeps saying that the country has "grown" since 9/11, because he doesn't seem to have matured past age 19 or so.
Also like that he dismisses the idea of a "nail bomb" as completely absurd. Yes, because Islamic radicals (o former Obama mentor Bill Ayers' old buddies, for that matter) don't have a history of packing explosives with nails to make them more deadly, or anything.
Another poster also gives his take on the so-called review I'd found earlier on Comics Alliance, saying that:
...that's yet another review that tells me more about the reviewer's assumptions & prejudices than about the product. Several of the things he takes Miller to task for do sound like fair game, but over & over again he cites Miller as including story elements that reflect factually correct about Muslim terrorists, like the fact that they believe they're rewarded with 72 virgins in the afterlife or that they think the global caliphate is the future of the world, and asserts them as proof of Miller's "bigotry."That's right. Now, I'll say that the tattoo in itself is the only part I could have a problem with, because I do think that punk subculture, from where tattoos have partly derived from, is dreadful and tattoos are unhealthy and degrading for the skin. But that's apparently not why the Comics Alliance reviewer is bothered at all; he seems to have a problem with Israel's authorities getting any kind of positive depiction or mention. How strange that someone who could be reading a ton from a medium with many Jewish founders and contributors would harbor hostility to the same race. After all, as Dr. Martin Luther King once said to a student who attacked Zionism, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semitism.”
This part is particularly telling:
Miller fuels the fire when he portrays an ex-Mossad agent, David, as an ally and galvanizing force for The Fixer. David has a blue Star of David tattooed on his face. That was around the point where I wanted to put the book down forever and pretend like it never happened, to be perfectly frank.
Since he doesn't include any other info (that tattoo sounds pretty extreme but not morally objectionable in & of itself-- not to mention that the visual is a stylistic fit for Miller's hyper-exaggerated world) I can only conclude this reviewer is revolted by the mere fact that a Mossad agent is being portrayed in a positive light at all.
There's also this, which tracks perfectly with the kind of maddening modernist condescension that poisons liberal thought:
In World War II, propaganda was easy. There was a clear enemy, notably the Nazis, who had committed clearly hateful crimes.
I'll put aside the implication that Al Qaeda has apparently not committed "clearly hateful crimes" to say: No, genius, it WASN'T easy. It just looks like it was in hindsight. Modern people always tend to assume that the past was a "simpler" time in every single respect, and generally fail to consider that their historical counterparts faced the same complexities of life that they themselves do. Fascism was and in many places still is popular: it had its own share of defenders, downplayers and excusers as well.
Why would anyone hostile to the Jewish society ever want to read their creations? It just shows how absurd today's leftist mindset can be.
So there's some more examples of just how the left is behaving on the subject, and only beclowning themselves as they go along.
