Conan O'Brien Slammed for Tweet About Muslim women superhero

[WelshBloke]

Meh. Not that funny, but not that offensive. Stupid people getting offended because it feels right when you're angry.

Yeah, I was expecting more of a joke about her weak points like defeating her by using a pork sausage on her like kryptonite on superman or her not needing a disguise as she wears a burka when out of costume.

LOL :awe:

Wait a Female Muslim Superhero!
From Pakistan.

Now that is funnier than the tweet.

 

[Bateluer]

Some how I don't think a strong female superhero, who's apparently dressing in direct opposition to the Quran, is something many Muslims will be alright with.

Twitter - use with extreme caution.

Side effect: foot-in-mouth disease..

Also, the mooslum's name is "Kamala" Khan?

LOL.. more American ignorance at work - Kamala is a Hindu name - why on earth would an untouchable beloved patriot be named "Kamala"? ewww...

A 16 year old girl being assaulted by a sausage... there is a sex joke in there somewhere.

In the Islamic world, that would be perfectly ok so no joke found.

Oh snap.

Don't tweet that or the protestors might hear you.

One of the favorite past times of upstanding citizens in the west these days is to assume moral superiority over another and publicly denounce them. The higher profile the target the better.

It's all about making themselves look good, and or tearing down the target, because obviously people really don't care too much about offending Muslims; If they did we would have quite a lot more outrage over the significant 'collateral damage' of our wars, drone strikes, and policy in the Muslim world.

Conan can write it, but he must also be prepared for any reaction to it. Such is the world of Twitter and Facebook.

 

[PokerGuy]

The usual whiners and politically correct idiots are outraged. So what. Conan is a wuss for taking it down, he should have told the whiners to STFU.

The funny thing is this is something that would've been pretty much in line with what he would joke about on his show. It'd probably get some laughs and some "Oooooohs" if it was too insulting but that would be it. But there's no forum that way for people to directly vocalize their apparent insult.
