Skar,
You are considerably wrong on all counts about my knowledge. The assumption that a group is even terrorist sympathetic just because they use "AK" in their name is specious at best, and reveals a tendency to lay blame on a group without foundation.
Ah, so you did know that terrorists are referred to in the Middle East as the cult of the AK 47? In that case how can calling your company "AK Comics" be seen as neutral? A parallel would be a comic company in the states calling itself KKK Comics. Would it be unreasonable to suspect a link between a company called KKK comics and the actual KKK or at least its doctrines?
Your point would be reasonable in a vacuum. We do not live in a vacuum. Denying that a name like AK Comics could be seen as provocatively pro-terrorist (the cult of the AK) in the middle-east reveals a tendency to deny reality.
ESPECIALLY when the comics in question have many elements that I believe will make them very unpopular with governments in conservatively Islamic countries. (Yes, I know you think you responded to them, you addressed ONE of my observations, of which I made three, which were just the most obvious, and that response was somewhat poor).
No, I addressed all three. Women leads, scantily clad comic ladies and pagan magic are "forbidden" and evil according to Sharia. But Sharia is suspended for Mujahideen and Islamic terrorists use that suspension as an excuse to indulge in forbidden things and then use that indulgence to entice young muslim men. You naively assume that the governments run things in Islamic countries. They're only a single part of the governing forces. The Mullahs in a muslim country have just as much power, it is in fact to appease them that the governments enforce Sharia. It is, unfortunately, Mullahs, well respected and well known, who give impetus to the terrorists. If those Mullahs decided to use comic books that include scantily clad women, women leads and pagan magic, as one of many tools to brainwash their youth into blowing themselves to smithereens or gunning down women and children,sharia goes right out the window because now it's Jihad, and the government dances to their tune.
ANd where is it written that the Constitutional protections don't extend to all humanity? Like it or not, even if they're terrorists, they're your brothers. Judging someone before there's any evidence is in violation of that principal. Are you saying it's ok to commit crimes against people just because you're not on US soil and they are not a US citizen? Where do you draw the line? If they don't have civil liberties, do they have the right to life? How about the right to liberty? I suppose you might think that's a slippery slope argument, but I find the principles to be exact, and the degree of difference in intensity not very great.
I did not judge anyone. You assumed I did because I voiced a possibility you don't agree with. Who is judging who here, my brother?
Refusing to consider the possibility that a comic company named KKK comics might espouse racist doctrines in their comics is not refusing to presume guilt before innocence, it's being a sucker. Reading the comics from said company to see if they do or not is not presuming guilt, it's exercising common sense.
I was completely unable to parse your last sentence so...
I'll conclude with this statement. I will not be trapped into defending the position that AK Comics is, in fact, a terrorist front. I never held it and never said that I did. It is only SE's prejudice that leads to that conclusion.
