All the rage - victim of US bloggers' cartoon hits back ('Islamic Rage Boy')

With his clenched fists, wild eyes and gnashing teeth he has become the face of Muslim fury, protesting against the enemies of Islam. Shakeel Ahmad Bhat has been on the frontline of political activism in Srinagar, India, for more than a decade. His constant presence, captured by photographers and beamed across the world, has caught the imagination of rightwing bloggers who have dubbed him Islamic Rage Boy and turned him into an internet phenomenon.
Typing his nickname into a search engine yields more than 75,000 results. He has inspired a cartoon character and merchandise.
But the 30-year-old Kashmiri activist is puzzled, not angered, by his overseas fame. In his first interview with a British newspaper, he says he is carrying out Allah's wishes.
From his home in Fateh Kadal, Malik Angan, he says: "I am not happy with people joking about me or making me into a cartoon, but I have more important things to think about. My protests are for those Muslims who cannot go out onto the streets to cry out against injustice. This is my duty and I believe Allah has decided this for me."
Mr Bhat, a school dropout and former militant with a pro-Pakistan rebel group, has been arrested more than 300 times.

Is there a tutorial site you recommend?I really don't have any to recommend other than Adobe's own tutorial. I've worked with Photoshop since the early 90s, so I don't even know who teaches courses anymore. :-)

Lol, I didn’t mind the others but when TED uploaded it to Q-Tube - supposedly as his own, that put a different light on it.
He got a bunch of comments on it too, asking him if he ‘could put this or that’ on it!!

LOL!
“Ted” could add “this or that” I’m sure
Covering your SIG must have been a real chore
The internet is never without all those who have fantastic ideas on how someone else can improve or create something -

Naa, wouldn’t take a minute to paint out a sig. Actually, TED may have found it already without the sig but still acting like it is his.
Hey TED, hope you read this!!

Mr Bhat, a school dropout and former militant with a pro-Pakistan rebel group, has been arrested more than 300 times.You know, after the first 200 or so arrests, they should think about leaving him in the slammer for a while.
