Did you ever actually read them? Tom Send a noteboard - 18/06/2019 03:06:39 PM

Nearly every character at some point makes the point that he or she is a "good Muslim". They are usually set in lands that have Islam as the religion (Aladdin is actually set in China in the tales, but clearly Disney didn't adhere to that). They make professions of faith. They establish Harun ar-Rashid as the model Muslim ruler.

Setting that aside, you haven't said anything about the terrible acting and singing.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
