Many Islamic Middle Eastern newspapers have published cartoons using classical anti-Semitic themes, or those created or inspired by Nazi propaganda, like in the weekly newspaper Der Stürmer. Some examples: On 2002-06-06, Akhbar al-Khalij from Bahrain published a cartoon showing a Jew piercing a baby with a spear. On 2002-07-24 Al Watan from Qatar published a cartoon of Sharon drinking from a cup of Palestinian children's blood. On 2001-12-17, Keyhan published a cartoon showing a Jew in front of a Holocaust scenery, killing Arabs. Almost all Israeli prime ministers in the last 15 years (Shamir, Peres, Rabin, Barak, Sharon) have been depicted as Nazis. Jews are regularly depicted as spiders [61], octopuses [62], scorpions [63], snakes [64], thieves or other menacing-looking persons with exaggerated "Jewish" characteristics.
Many publications, especially those of conservative Christian evangelicals and Muslim fundamentalists, contain images and arguments that caricature both other religions and their followers. Christian evangelicals, often but not exclusively, from the US distribute anti-Hinduism comic books in India. These comics have images of Hindu deities and describe them, usually using regional languages (Hindi, Tamil, etc), as evil, false, bloodthirsty. Similar comics are distributed in Latin America, attacking the Catholic Church, and in East Asia, attacking Buddhism and Confucianism. Muslim fundamentalists routinely publish materials in a wide range of languages in which other religions are called false, satanic or deceitful. The term jahaliya, or "ignorance," is generally used in such publications to insult and reject all non-Islamic forms of religion.
