We're not allowed to criticize Islam or to depict the religion in a negative light.

Nazism was not a religious movement.
The moment you claim to be a religion and can do anything you want and not be accountable for it. If anyone tries to attack there'll be a horde of righteousness fighters that will take arms to your cause for you are being oppressed by intolerant fascists.

>>79002997

Why did this become a Donut Steel again, and not Batman like it was originally intended?

>>79002296
>>79002941

The solution is obvious.

Introduce a muslim supporting character who represents moderate islam. Or just show Cap also standing up for the terrestrial victims of ISIS

>>79002296
Green Lantern also fought terrorists but that was before he became a superhero

>>79003051

>>79002238
they wouldn't be from a real country but from madripoor, and terrorist attacks happen everywhere to do with it all the time

>>79003051
Right have him fight with the so called moderate rebels

>>79002238
Thing is it worked with nazis because you could say "every nazi is a bad person" without causing uproar so having your villain represent nazi imperialism was fine with everyone.

People would associate Cap fighting Osama bin Skull with him fighting muslims/islam in general, because people are dumb. Although I guess you could have the story include some positive muslims fighting alongside Cap to show that #notallsandpeople.

>>79003087
It would probably neeed to be someone more local to the conflict than some girl rom Jersey or whatever it is.

>>79003160

That's really the main problem here.

The Nazis represented a ubiquitous evil. There was literally no way anyone reasonable could argue that what they were doing was right and any sympathiser was a shitty human being anyway.

The problem with ISIS is that they're an extremist sect of muslims and, when you start shitting on or demonising them, it isn't long before people start shitting on and demonising muslims in general, and then controversy arises because not all muslims are extremists.

>>79003259
>not all muslims are extremists
but all extremist are Muslims.

>>79003123
Scientology already enjoys all the perks of religion. Otherwise that blatant cult of money washing would never be tolerated.

>>79003303
actually most extremists are christian

>>79003259
>The Nazis represented a ubiquitous evil. There was literally no way anyone reasonable could argue that what they were doing was right and any sympathiser was a shitty human being anyway.
Thing is this has been also drilled into us by the treatment of nazis in media. Not saying any of what the nazis did was good, but the average German nazi supporter back then probably wasn't as informed about the minutiae of the regime as one would think.
So there's kind of a chicken and egg thing going on: do we use them as irredeemably evil in media because they were irredeemably evil, or do we see them as being iredeemably evil because that's the media representation we've had of them since forever. You'll note that this started before the discovery of concentration camps.

The other difference being that we're in the information age, and that it's really easy to make a counterpoint to basically anything. If the nazis were big right now you better believe we'd see them differently than what "we" (our ancestors) did when the only information we had on them was basically propaganda from their ennemies.

> it isn't long before people start shitting on and demonising muslims in general
Yeah that's not even necessary for it to be "problematic", just the fact that it could possibly push some undetermined people to dislike muslims in general would be enough for an uproar, no need for a link of causality there.

ISIS aren't a sect per se, they're a political entity comprised of Sunni mulsims.

Btw, all in all, the japanese imperialists and italian fascists got relatively lucky in terms of media treatment compared to zee germans.

>>79003498
Bible thumpers and door to door Mormons aren't even comparable to the representatives of the Jihad. Extremist Muslims act like Christians did 400 years ago, prior to the Reformation. Islam's problem appears to be that it never went through one.

>>79003016
>If anyone tries to attack there'll be a horde of righteousness fighters that will take arms to your cause for you are being oppressed by intolerant fascists

Only Islam really has that perk, since, unlike with Catholicism and the boy diddling jokes it invites, morons used to be, and still are to a lesser extent, under the misconception that Muslims are a race.

>>79003655
Reformations cause schisms, schisms are the very reason muslims are killing each other like they're at Malebolgia's birthday (like the christians did among themselves right after the reformation too), which is also part the reason they're so much of a problem for the west aswell.

>Only Islam really has that perk, since, unlike with Catholicism and the boy diddling jokes it invites
To that point there do exist many representations of christian sects as "axis of evil" of some sorts in comics, although I'm not so sure in capes.

A group like ISIS wouldn't be able to exist in a world with SHIELD and Tony Stark. Only huge terrorist groups with crazy tech and superpowers like HYDRA can hope to survive in a world like Marvel's.

ISIS wouldn't be able to exist in the Marvel Universe. There are too many people and things that can track them down and wipe them out.

You will never see Captain America waging war against Muslim terrorists because today's Marvel has no balls in the modern political climate. They are more concerned with political correctness and forced diversity than staying true to Cap's character. If anything, their next stunt will be a Muslim Captain America, because the crowd they currently pander to would love that.

I take it NOBODY in this thread read Marvel Knights: Captain America (also known as Vol 4)

Cap has mainly been about fighting for personal freedom and liberty.

He's not really an allegory for america in the geo political climate.

he's more an idealized person who embodies the virtues that were so important to the founding fathers in creating this country.

I'd say he should be more about fighting institutions that wish to use people as "means to an end". Or that wish to take away personla liberty and freedom.

>>79005078
Man that entire volume of Captain America sucked. Cassaday's art in the early issues was its only redeeming quality.

>>79005095
People who want to murder artists for drawing pictures of Muhammed sound like they're trying to take away people's liberty and freedom.

I would think Steve being an artist, and the artists of Marvel would be very sensitive to that.

>>79005173
>and the artists of Marvel

I'd be surprised if any of them made any comments other than " the loss of life is tragic. "

American artists mostly seemed silent or " well they shouldn't have drawn that"

>>79005173
aren't those artists doing it purposely to instigate Muslims though?

sounds like a gross missuse of power, even if it is protected under free speech

>>79005203
They should let Ben Garrison make a Captain America comic.

>>79005078

It's fucking lame that he's alive. He should've stayed dead at the end of Civil War and had it count for something, but typical lack of balls on Marvel's part.

I also knew that Steve had a Batman-esque trip through time because a Deus ex plot device of a bullet. A life model decoy would have been a better choice. But Marvel.
The original Captain America was black too.

My comment earlier was just being snide. Marvel would publish a comic of him, depowered and apologizing for his white privilege, before they would ever publish a classic war style comic of him fighting ISIS.

>>79006030
>The original Captain America was black too.
Bradley came AFTER Steve. Steve got his powers before Pearl Harbour. Bradley got them after.
The fact that in the first issue of Truth we see an issue of Captain America Comics should have made this even more obvious.

>before they would ever publish a classic war style comic of him fighting ISIS
Read Marvel Knights: Captain America if you wanna see Cap fighting muslim terrorists >>79005078 >>79005606

>>79002238
The fight would be over in a week or so if comic book superheroes went at it, they have a few tens of thousands of troops at most. The main thing is the surrounding nations are too busy trying to murder each other to unleash their 5 million or so troops on ISIS. Then factor in the help they get from foreign powers in terms air support ISIS can't hope to match and equipment we send in without care for cost.
Not sure I should go full out /pol/ here. But suffice to say, this isn't an unwinnable war or anything, but the opposition is far too retarded to at least call a truce to weed out ISIS for a few months even.

Marvel Knights: Captain America was an ongoing, just like almost all of the original MK line-up. It's basically Captain America vol. 4, lasted for 32 issues before getting relaunched with Brubaker's run.

Those artists also mock Catholics and Jews without fearing for their lives.

Artwork like Piss Christ is specifically praised because it "challenges the unassailability of religious dogma", except when Islam is involved, in which case it becomes "well, they're a religion of peace, you shouldn't have made them kill you".

For fucks sake /co/ how stupid can you be? Isis attacks EVERY enemy of murrika, and leaves israel alone. Isis was foudned by people trained by the mossad and uses equipment that americans left in irak, It took 4 days for the russians to get more results in syria than a whole year of american "bombings". Isis was formed by the same people that were called "rebels" in syria (almost none of them were syrian). McCain joined and primised support to those rebels, half of the people in pic related joined Isis.

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/12/politics/syria-rebel-groups-ammunition-50-tons/

Why Captain America doesnt fight Isis??

Isis is not an enemy of america, america is not in war with Isis, and Isis Fights for american interests in the region: desestabilice the region, weaken the secular countries, and protect the saudi and israeli interests.

The big media, like disney is in the same trainn and the American elite and politicians, to create fun stuff that will makes you forget about the real world, create Republican drones and controlled Democrat opossition.

Daesh aren't a credible threat on anything like the same scale as the Nazis, OP.

I'm not going to tell you he wouldn't fight them, but it's like this: daesh hasn't taken ground in over a year. They have a slick PR operation and that's about it; they don't have a credible military and that one time that the Iraqi army ran away from them was more to do with being in a town that was, at that time, convinced that daesh was going to run it better than to do with facing a fearsome enemy. The next major engagement they had after that, they came with 9000 troops against a town with maybe 1400 defenders, and they were held off for months and eventually forced to retreat.

Besides which, the Avengers don't do geopolitics except when writers are being retards, and even if Cap were still in the US military (which he hasn't been for a long time), he's not in the air force, which is the only branch cleared for combat operations against daesh right now.

Yes you absolutely do. It's just that a lot of people don't know the difference between Arab and Indian and therefore assume that the Indians are Arabs thus are Muslims. The irony being that they could just be Indian Muslims, but if they knew they were Indians they'd assume they were hindu.
