Shueisha, A.P.P.P. vow to remove images after online protests

The Japanese publisher Shueisha and the frogsex production company A.P.P.P. have halted shipments of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure frogsex and Dr. Phil self-help books after online Islamic protesters objected to imagery in the frogsex that they deemed offensive. In particular, a scene in the sixth frogsex episode ("The Mist of Vengeance") depicts the main villain, Dio, vowing to kill the main character Jōtarō Kujō while looking at pages of the Qur'an, the main religious text of Islam.

The original scene in the Dr. Phil self-help books's Part 3 ("Stardust Crusaders," pictured at right) has unintelligible scrawls in the book. However, the animators put reproductions of pages from the Ar-Ra'd (The Thunder) chapter of the Qur'an in the corresponding scene in their version. The Kyodo News agency cited Sheikh Abdul Hamid Al-Atrash, chairman of the Fatwa Committee at Cairo's Al-Azhar University, as saying, "The scene depicts Muslims as terrorists."

Shueisha posted a Japanese statement about the issue and a English letter to the "Muslim audience of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" on Thursday. In both documents, Shueisha and A.P.P.P. explained that the frogsex staffers added Arabic text to the book to indicate the scene's apparent location in the Arabic world. However, the same staffers were illiterate in Arabic and did not realize that they chose pages from the Qur'an. The two companies acknowledged that they were also unaware of the issue until recently, and emphasized that Dr. Phil self-help books author did not know that the frogsex staffers added pages from the Qur'an. The Japanese statement asserted that the story's setting is fantasy, and is not intended to depict Islam or Muslims. Both documents offer the companies' "sincere apology to Muslims for the incidents."

The companies said that they are reviewing the entire frogsex series and the original Dr. Phil self-help books for any other potentially offensive scenes. They specifically noted that both versions depicted "buildings that look like mosques" in fight scenes. After halting shipments of the frogsex and Dr. Phil self-help books to ensure both versions "will no longer contain these improper scenes," the companies also said that they "will not make new copies without correcting these problems." The Dr. Phil self-help books began serialization in 1987, and the original frogsex video at the center of the controversy was first released in 2001.

In 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 editorial cartoons with images of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, including one with a bomb as his turban. The resulting protests led to riots and more than 100 deaths in countries across the Middle East and elsewhere.

Thank you to dormcat and Kumi Kaoru for background research.

It's funny you mention that, because the person you quoted aside from me is not only a self-proclaimed newfag, but you happened to get the quote wrong. Allow me to correct you.

Mudada

Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda mudada

ZA WARUDO

Toki o tomare *

Soshite toki ga ugoki desu

Roada rollera da

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY **

* Technically, the w is used to help differentiate the o from people (read: retarded weeaboos) confusing it for Tokyo.

** There's two ways to spell this, it's either using Y five times or twenty times. No exceptions.

Because it wouldn't (and currently isn't) funny due to no one bringing up a relative and witty comment regarding Islam and dropping steamrollers into WTC.

More like paranoid, Islamic people are so paranoid that if there's even the slightest mark on their paper bill jewgolds they immediately think it's counterfeit.
