I would have posted this in my other thread, but lioness already closed it. So I will have to create a new thread instead.

Anyway, today I got a bunch of comments from some Algerian woman on Instagram threatening to have me thrown in jail over my drawings of Dihya al-Kahina. She even claimed to have contacted the Algerian government's "culture ministry".

 -

For the record, I don't think the Algerian government is going to do anything to me. They almost certainly have more pressing matters to devote time and resources to than some cartoons I drew of a person who lived and died ~1,300 years ago. If they even bother to respond to her inquiry at all, she'll end up in far more trouble with them than I will.

Still, it is an amusing example of how hateful and fanatical these "Berberists" can get.

More commentary from this poster, responding to one of my followers. Notice how the Algerian woman associates blackness with ugliness.

You can see thumbnails of the artwork on the right hand side of each screenshot I took. Are you familiar with Instagram, by any chance?

will you do a proper presentation please, a larger image.

You have a commentary so we we need to see about what, not some tiny thumbnail. You do it it's your topic, dont tell me to go to Instagram. It makes no sense, show the damn thing properly
