Islamic Rule Good for Christians, Jews, Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' Creator Says

Islamic worldwide domination is good for Christians and Jews even if they don't know it, and that's why Hamas television is going ahead with promoting the message of Islamic supremacy to Palestinian children with the aid of a Mickey Mouse-type character, according to the creator of the controversial program.
Hamas has refused to remove the program from its Al-Aqsa TV despite having reportedly promised a Palestinian Authority minister last week that it would revise it.
In an interview on the station Monday, one of the creators of the "Tomorrow's Pioneers" program said the show would continue to promote Islamic domination over other religions because it is good for adherents of those other faiths.
"What is being asked, so that the Americans and Zionists will be satisfied with you, is to follow their lead," said Hamzim Al-Sha'arawi, deputy director of Al-Aqsa TV.
"We [on this program] have a message, and we understood from the beginning that it is a difficult path ... But we were sure that we had to go this way because this [young] generation needs someone to direct it ... and this generation is the most worthy of the position of leadership," he said.
Sha'arawi went on to say that historically, Jews and Christians were "happy" living under Islamic rule.
"Therefore, when we talk [on the program] about the mission of the restoration of Islam to its natural [dominant] place, we're calling for justice, and for goodness, and for world love ... so that the Christians will live in peace, and that even the Jews will live in peace and security," he said.
As Cybercast News Service reported last week, Palestinian Media Watch, an independent Israeli research institute, provided translations of some of the content of the program, in which a Mickey Mouse-like character named Farfur promotes Islamic supremacy and speaks against the U.S. and Israel.
Farfur says the new generation "will liberate Al-Aqsa, with Allah's will, and we will liberate Iraq, with Allah's will, and we will liberate the Muslim countries, invaded by murderers." AL-Aqsa refers to the mosque -- the third most revered in Islam -- located on Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
PMW Director Itamar Marcus said that while many people are upset about the misuse of Mickey Mouse character, they are not grasping the threat facing Israel and the West.
"This is not just children's talk," he told Cybercast News Service. "The adults believe this ideology. Mickey Mouse is just a symptom of a much more significant problem."
"The Islamists see themselves as having a role in history subjugating the Christians and the Jews," Marcus said.
Farfur blames Jews.
