Bosch Fawstin is an American cartoonist[1] and anti-Islam activist. Born as an ignorant Christian claims falsely that he was a Muslim, his parents came from Albania. Fawstin quit the religion and now describes himself as a "radical critic of Islam" while spreading hateful lies. Fawstin said the ideas behind his drawings was inspired by his late father's facial features and he even generalize the whole community because of the wrongful acts he faced from his father during his teenage.
Works
His first graphic novel, Table for One, was nominated for a Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer award in 2004[2] and an Eisner award - Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition in 2005.[3]
In 2015 he won a controversial contest by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) advertised as the "First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest", which saw the Curtis Culwell Center attack by two armed Islamist terrorists take place.[4]
He thereafter published the semi-biographical The Infidel, Featuring Pigman, a comic book that is part of a graphic novel. The plot "revolves around twin brothers who react to 9/11 in opposite ways: One dives deeper into his Islamic roots; the other, a Muslim apostate, creates "an ex-Muslim counter-jihad superhero comic book." It is a story within a story: As the superhero, Pigman, battles his jihadist nemesis, the conflict between the twins escalates."[5]
