MICKEY MOUSE FACING FATWA
Mickey Mouse is a soldier of satan and must die, says a Muslim cleric.

Tom and Jerry have also incurred the wrath of Sheikh Muhammad Munajid who fears they are corrupting Islamic youth.

The Saudi Arabian cleric also recently denounced the Beijing Games as the “bikini Olympics” because of the female athletes’ skimpy costumes which, he said, made Satan happy.

Ah, reality. When you need a good laugh.
Mickey maybe, but they are never gonna catch Jerry. Tom has been trying for ages.

Mickey Mouse is a soldier of satan and must die…

In the late 80s I went to Disneyland on a hit and a half of windowpane and had the same thought. Other things I learned:

-The blacktop behind the shooting gallery is really a trampoline.
-Never get on a skyride with goth chicks.
-Bear Country is the only truly safe place in the entire universe.

-Never get on a skyride with goth chicks.

My curiosity has been tweaked.  Was it not at least good for a comic line or two?

Actually it nearly caused death or serious injury when one of these heavily made up zombie fetishists leaned right into my seriously tripping friend’s face and asked point-blank “Are you on acid?!”.

I had to grab him around the waist to keep him from climbing out of the car 150 feet over Tomorrowland.

Ah, youth…

“Are you on acid?!”.

The lesson here is to wear a sign reading, “I’m high on acid,” so that frightening questions like that won’t be asked while high on acid.

Yup. I think LSD is out of vogue now (or maybe I’m just way out of the loop), but that is a good lesson for all you kids out there.

Sorry, CalmWind - I didn’t mean to hijack your thread. I was just trying draw slightly humorous parallels between the minds of the mullahs and the hallucinogen-impaired. I fear it spun out a bit.

Some time ago I made my last obligatory trip to Disney World. I went with my cousin who is half Jewish. Upon seeing the cost of admission and events, he exclaimed: “Mickey Mouse is a Jew”. Perhaps the Muslim have the same perception and hence the fatwa.

Stay Well

This fatwa is ironically very bad news for the HAMAS children television. Fortunately Fafour “Dschihad-Mickey” already became a martyr:
