Islamists are apparently afraid of Superman!
Democracy Frontline (via Always on Watch) found this most side-splitting news involving childish superstition from a Dubai news outlet:
Published on: Monday, 17th July, 2006I just keeled over laughing when I found this! Though it does seem to suggest that there aren't that many true Super-fans there, certainly not among Islamofascists.
7DAYS would like to point out that the four-page ‘Daily Planet’ supplement carried in yesterday’s paper was an advert for the release of the new movie ‘Superman Returns’. Superman has not really been spotted flying down Sheikh Zayed Road nor has he been seen swooping over Luxor in Egypt. 7DAYS would like to thank those readers who thought otherwise for their concerned telephone calls.
(Interesting aside is that the city of Luxor in Egypt evokes the planet Lexor from pre-Crisis Superman, the world that gave Lex Luthor safe haven many times when he was more a mad scientist outlaw than a corrupt businessman who evaded the law through diplomacy.)
