So he's worried about this, and wonders why the Obama administration hasn't protested (Pamela Geller offers a clue why neither they nor the UN said anything). I wonder if this means he now regrets the part he played in introducing a Muslim co-star in the Batman books, and missed a big chance to make the co-star Armenian? (France has quite a few Armenians living there.) I have no idea, but, if he really understands something is wrong, then he'll ponder that stoning of adulterers/women is part and parcel of the Koran/Hadith.
Maybe there is hope for some people in the UK - comics writers included - to wake up and smell reality. If Hine's come around and realized something is wrong with the Religion of Peace, then in the forseeable future, he'll avoid going for such cheapie stunts as he did in Batman a few years ago.
