Mickey Mouse On Hit List

Posted by samzenpus on from the mickey-mouse-death-club dept.

Sheikh Muhammad Munajid claims that Mickey Mouse is "one of Satan's soldiers" and makes everything he touches impure. The sheikh said that under Sharia, both household mice and their cartoon counterparts must be killed. The cleric has held off on condemning other Disney characters until he can figure out, "What the hell is Goofy?"

    When I was in Elementary school, I had an argument with a friend about it and actually wrote Disney a letter asking this. About 6 months later (I had long since forgotten), I got the official response and press package, complete with Goofy's biography, actor-style head shots, and a Disneyland brochure.

    The conclusion: Goofy is a dog.

      ...but Pluto is a dog, and he can't speak. He also walks on all four paws.

      I think Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid may want to look closer on how Goofy manged to acquire the power of speech. Clearly a case of Satanic intervention.

      I found that strange also, and it was the source of the discussion. I argued that Goofy was a cow, based on the Pluto issue and because of the fact that he dated Clarabelle.

      In retrospect, I guess that breaking down racial boundaries was kinda appropriate, considering it was the 60s.

    Anybody who wants to physically kill a cartoon mouse really shouldn't be...what's the word...considered sane. Mickey Mouse as satan's soldier? Bah! Articles like this make me happy because I realize that there are people out there who are even weirder than me.

    Few years ago, Hamas conscripted Mickey to talk to their kiddies.

  6. a sheikh what??? by marie88 · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, these so-called Sheikhs should know better than corrupting Islam's (their religion's)image. Epecially for those who are extremely against it(due to some unfortunate events which are also against Islam's own rules, but these rules tend to fail to reach the rivals and the public eye).
    Being raised as a good Catholic made me search for the truth and the origin of everything to determine the right from wrong.
    So we should start reading and comprehending the real Islam rather than focusing on the media.
