In early 2006, news came out that a Danish magazine had printed an image of the prophet Mohammed with a bomb-shaped turban. Needless to say, this enraged the Muslim world (especially since Islamic law forbids any portrayal of Mohammed). Anyway, it turns out that the political cartoon wasn't the first such image. "Ali-Baba Bound" has a similar drawing. The cartoon portrays Porky Pig getting sent to protect a foreign legion outpost from Ali Baba and his Dirty Sleeves. When Porky arrives and discovers that the legionnaires have gone to a convention in Boston, Ali Baba attacks.
What I mean about the political cartoon is that one of Ali Baba's men has a giant bomb tied to his head and strongly desires to get to use it. But maybe I'm the only one who ever noticed the connection.
I guess that as long as we understand the negative Arab stereotyping, it's easier to watch the cartoon, although it's far from Porky's funniest.
