Comic book publisher praised for reflecting 'tolerance of Islam'
Washington (CNN) -- Kuwaiti publisher Naif al-Mutawa is having a week even his comic book superheroes might envy.
On Monday, President Obama singled him out for special praise for promoting international understanding with his "The 99" comics.
"His comic books have captured the imagination of so many young people with superheroes who embody the teachings and tolerance of Islam," Obama said.
And on Tuesday, Mutawa was treated like a rock star at the president's Summit on Entrepreneurship, with people lining up to get his flashy, superhero-embossed business cards and polite words of encouragement.
The summit, a couple of blocks from the White House, is a follow-up to a speech in Egypt in June 2009 in which Obama sought to reach out to the Muslim world and offer specific help, mentoring and investment -- and try to polish the U.S. image. Scores of business experts and wannabe entrepreneurs traveled to Washington from the Middle East, Indonesia and other Muslim-majority regions.
