Anti-Muslim Coloring Book Gets Microwaved and Turned into Art
Muslim artist Kenny Irwin has been featured on our site in the past when he unveiled he “Ultra Christmas Decorations” on Conan O’Brien’s show. This time he microwaves an anti-Muslim 9/11 coloring book and turns it into the “anti-bigotry slug.” (hat tip:pigeonyolk)
Artist microwaves “The We Shall Never Forget 9:11 The Kids’ Book of Freedom” coloring book by Publisher Wayne Bell.
In response to Wayne Bell’s islamophobic coloring book geared at impressionable young children called “The We Shall Never Forget 9:11 The Kids’ Book of Freedom” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nJlk_Em7xY , nationally & internationally acclaimed artist Kenny Irwin & founder of the famous dOvetastic Microwave Theater series has produced Episode #602 in which the coloring book gets microwaved inside a powerful hand built giant microwaving robot called the MALIK 11000 Five Ton Microwaving Robot standing twenty feet tall. The resulting art is transformed into the “AntiBigotSLUG” available on Ebay.
Purchase the anti-bigotry slug on E-Bay.
This is interesting. While the artist’s statement about the anti-islamic feeling was prevalent, i feel that the book provided an accurate (if somewhat dumbed down) version of what happened. I can understand your frustration about the anti-islam feeling generated by the book, but this is not exactly “ROAR, MUSLIMS ARE EVIL” or anything like that. I think that the authors should instead check their grammar, use of apostrophes in plural nouns, and add a disclaimer that Islam is in fact a peaceful religion geared around brotherhood and community, only that the turbulent socio-political environment of the middle east has created extremists in the group.
Overall, interesting video, though i don’t think that the book deserves burning. that’s just spreading more hate.
