Not quite Mickey Mouse

He looks like Mickey, the high pitch of his voice sorta sounds like Mickey, but this sure as heck isn't Mickey.

Instead, it's "Farfur", a character on a Palestinian kids' TV show. And, while he's talking about love, harmony, and peace, it's the fundamentalist Islamic kind. You know, where everything is wonderful because Allah loves mankind (sotto voce: Because all the unbelievers are dead) and mankind loves Allah (whispered from the back of the room: If they know what's good for them).

The only thing more disturbing than Jihad Mickey is the Palestinian TV network's defense of his program.

BTW, I don't think Little Green Footballs is either fair or unbiased, but neither is CNN. My disclaimer is I am going on faith that the provided translations are accurate. Assuming LGF and their sources are on the up-and-up, this story does sort of tell itself.
