Ahmed and Salim are a series of cartoons created by 2 Israelis tom Trager and Or Paz, the cartoon portrays 2 Muslim children that are sent by their father to carry out terrorist missions that always go awry, Ahmed and Salim go around town trying to blow up buses, incinerate crowded cafes, and shoot Jewish people.
"What they do is strengthen old stereotypes of the Arabs and Muslims as radical and stupid and terrorists," said Yizhar Be'er, the executive director of Keshev, an Israeli media-monitoring group. "These episodes are so full of hatred that if an Arab did this about Jews, immediately the Anti-Defamation League would make big noise about it."
"I despise all religion, but no other religion would do that over a cartoon. That's why we're passionately more aggressive towards the Muslim faith." said Trager, a self-described atheist.
It's very interesting that if the case was reversed and the cartoons were made by Muslims they would be called anti-Semitic, would these cartoons then be called anti-Islamic you think?
