Spiderman accepts Islam, kneels down for prayer


Namaz is the name given to each of the 5 prayer sessions a Moslem is required to perform daily. The title of this "book" is "I am learning how to perform namaz".
A joke started by the Turkish parody site Haybe Dergi (Haybe Magazine) claiming that the Turkish government's Religious Affairs Office had published a children's book featuring the Spiderman as a Moslem appears to have created quite a furor.

The original "news" item appeared here featuring excerpts from the interviews with the head of the Religious Affairs Office explaining why they had picked the Spiderman for a book aimed at teaching children how to carry out the daily prayer sessions. Furthermore, it was claimed that the book had been met with disapproval: in New York Spiderman fans had protested the Marvel Comics' apparent endorsement of the book, while in Turkey a religious group had pointed out that because the Spiderman's costume would prevent his forehead from touching the ground, his prayers would not be acceptable.

According to this real news article from 20 October 2006, after one of the regular writers of the daily newspaper Hürriyet mentioned the book, apparently without realizing its true nature, the Religious Affairs Office started receiving so many inquiries about it that they had to issue a statement explaining that there was no such book.

It looks like Spidey won't be fighting the infidel this year.


Note : Tough the intension was teaching prayer to childrens but the way was wrong.

As-salamu alaykum brother Yusuf. In accordance to your principle, i would advise you to also change the spelling of your name to YUSUF SALIM.

It took me 4 1/2 years to convince a Jew at the Associated Press Stylebook to change the offensive "Moslem" to the appropriate "Muslim" and here I find the old spelling still in use. Amazing. I had to finally go over the Jews racist head and take up this issue with his boss who agreed and the spelling was changed in the next issue of their style book that recommends the spelling of many words so that it is consistent in ink and air media through its many thousands of subscribers.
