In the video, note the careful mention of Christianity, "Crosses were turned into Swastikas". Uh, WRONG. Christianity didn't promote Nazism. Paganism did. Hitler's group took guidance from pre-Christian mythology and Wagner, not the Church.
It is also interesting to note that while the ladies of the 99 are dressed modestly, none of them are wearing hijabs.
The creator of the series says he wants to separate Islam from the ideology that led to 9/11. I don't think he'll succeed, but it's a start.

Proof that Paganism some how promoted Nazism?
A good ol' friend of mine says that the peace sign is the cross upside down with the arms broken, but I think that's just an odd coincidence.
I don't see a problem with it. I took a brief look at the character list; it's not what one might stereotypically expect. (A bunch of arabs with maybe a black guy thrown in)
I took a look at several of their powers; I must say I like some of the concepts.

Quote: In the video, note the careful mention of Christianity, "Crosses were turned into Swastikas". Uh, WRONG. Christianity didn't promote Nazism. Paganism did. Hitler's group took guidance from pre-Christian mythology and Wagner, not the Church. Read better, please. You can also easily google up the links. It's not a secret. Quote: The Pagan Ideology of the Nazis The Nazis defended paganism, both during the early stages, and also when they came to power in 1933. They tore German society away from Christianity, and tried to turn it to pagan beliefs. A short while after Hitler came to power, Christian holidays and festivals were replaced by pagan ones. 'Mother Earth' or 'Father Sky' were called on at wedding ceremonies. In 1935, Christian prayers in schools were stopped, and then all lessons concerning Christianity were banned. Schoolchildren were taught the so-called 'Glorious pre-Christian German history,' and various rites and ceremonies, legacies of pagan culture, were held all over Germany. All Nazi meetings were in the form of traditional pagan ceremonies. There was almost no difference between Nazi rallies, held under the shadow of flaming torches, where slogans full of hate and violence were shouted and Wagner's pagan music played, and the perverted ceremonies carried out thousands of years ago at pagan temples and altars. The Nazis also used the arts to re-awaken paganism. Ancient Greek concepts and symbols began to predominate under Nazi rule, and many statues similar to Greek statues were made, showing strong men and women of the Aryan race. Hitler dreamed that a 'superior race' would be formed by the use of eugenics, and establish a cruel and oppressive 'world kingdom' based on the Spartan model. The expression 'The Third Reich' is a statement of this dream. And as a result of this dream, 55 million people lost their lives in the Second World War, the bloodiest conflict that had ever been seen. From http://www.islamdenouncesantisemitism.com/thepagan.htmYes, Islam. I'm glad they have their apologists as well.

And yeah, I've heard that the peace sign is a mockery of the cross, showing how much they hate it by turning it upside down and breaking the arms.
