JESUS CAMP for Hamas
He may look like Mickey Mouse to you (and Walt has got to be turning in his grave), but this is “Farfour” (Arabic for “butterfly”).
All religions love to indoctrinate their small children–before they’re smart enough to question (see JESUS CAMP):
“GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Hamas militants have enlisted the iconic Mickey Mouse to broadcast their message of Islamic dominion and armed resistance to their most impressionable audience — little kids.
“A giant black-and-white rodent — named “Farfour,” or “butterfly,” but unmistakably a Mickey ripoff — does his high-pitched preaching against the U.S. and Israel on a children’s show run each Friday on Al-Aqsa TV, a station run by Hamas.

I do think that it is a healthy sign that these books are making it onto the bestseller lists so consistently. Even those of you fortunate enough to have found the One True God would have to agree that it is important to intelligently discuss the foolishness of the other people who–despite outnumbering you–just have it so very wrong, unlike yourselves:
