I got this from another website, but could see no copyright issues.

It is a pity that it shows a Muslim looking terrorist and an American looking soldier, as the mentality of each side is not dependant on those stereotypes.

I have no idea what the writing says. Maybe somebodt could translate it.

To me it shows the Muslim type as the villian and the Western soldier as defending those in his care.

I suspect this was not drawn by a Muslim as it thows the Muslim militant hiding behind what looks like a mother and her young child.

Well, duh! Tiw, your powers of observation never cease to underimpress me! Not all terrorists are Muslim and not all those that defend the helpless are westerners. That was my point.

Maybe the one on the left is a soldier dressed up like a non-soldier fighter, so for him the woman is actually an enemy and uses her to defend himself?
Or maybe the muslims are prizoners in a prison of the US army, and they have been forced to stand like that (with fake weapon of course) so that the soldiers could take a picture like that in order to umiliate them?

Ok, I have been joking, but being sarcastic is a way to say that this looks like a poor and sad "propaganda" picture. However I wander what the inscription states and who the authors are

I think it's symbolic of how the west has become more embroiled in the witches' cauldron of the middle east. Develop hydrogen powered transportation, assist the Palestinians in establishing an independant state, write Israeli one last big "help me out" cheque and then call it a day.
