A Muslim artist drops some subtle references into artwork for X-Men (which has long been Marvel's most consistently proggy title). Marvel says it's pulling the artwork and is distancing itself from the author's propaganda.
Horns of a dilemma here: Will Marvel fire him, and risk probable accusations of anti-inclusiveness or even Mohammedophobia?!? Pfft. Not likely.

“The mentioned artwork in X-Men Gold #1 was inserted without knowledge behind its reported meanings. These implied references do not reflect the views of the writer, editors or anyone else at Marvel and are in direct opposition of the inclusiveness of Marvel Comics and what the X-Men have stood for since their creation. This artwork will be removed from subsequent printings, digital versions, and trade paperbacks and disciplinary action is being taken.”
