IT’S A DIFFERENT ISIS!!! Before you read on, it’s a different Isis, OK?!
Anyway, it’s still stupid:
It’s specifically supposed to be in response to Trump:
In response to the apparent anti-Muslim sentiment during the 2016 presidential election, The CW show “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” will introduce a Muslim superhero.
Iranian-American actress Tala Ashe will play a Muslim computer hacker from the future named Zari Adrianna Tomaz.
Ashe said in regard to the show: “Representation is a really powerful thing. … What I think is so lovely about this show is that the Legends are this tapestry that represent America today.”
The executive producer says the character was inspired by the difficulties of some living in the “current political climate.” According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, total anti-Muslim hate crimes rose 44 percent from 2015-2016. And the organization claims those crimes could be especially high this year.
The character is based on Isis, a superhero that is named after the ancient Egyptian goddess. She was created long before the Islamist terrorists. What a weird coincidence though huh?
The actress’ twitter is chock full of pro-liberal and anti-Trump stuff.
