Aladdin was created in 1992, won two Academy Awards and was considered one of the most successful Disney films ever produced (Giroux 2004:172). Okay, so where does Aladdin (that is, the story) come from? My personal favourite part of the Burton translation is the 7th footnote into Volume 1, The Story Of King Shahryar and His Brother: Sometimes, to advance the narrative. Of the twelve months in the Islamic year, Ramadan is one of the eight months that are *not* holy.
Favorite Answer. The tale had nothing to do with the original One Thousand and One Nights tales, and doesn’t appear in any of the manuscripts. Christine Douglass-Williams This post is really a nice one it helps new internet visitors, who are wishing in favor of blogging. Our mailing address is: David Horowitz Freedom Center, P.O. Because the thing is its NOT a Chinese story. CAIR is simply a propaganda arm of Islam, and couldn’t allow a movie like Aladdin to go unchallenged.
Most interesting. Thank you. Is that an original Arabian Nights story?
It is often characterized by the belief that all or most Muslims are religious fanatics, have violent tendencies towards non-Muslims, and reject as directly opposed to Islam such concepts as equality, tolerance, and democracy. Glad you enjoyed the article! This “exotified” film might lead the little ones down a non-designated pathway!! Film was created to entertain. In school (as a boy) we knew it as a story with Far East origins; it is somewhat disappointing yet not surprising that with time and Hollywood fervor the truth would reinvent itself.

The name Alaadin is arabic and so is Ali baba… the tale even if originated somewhere else became arabic once it gained fame by the names chosen. And thanks for the comment – glad you liked the post!
One question, what’s the real or original name of the Chinese Aladdin’s tale?
How can CAIR claim that Islam supports freedom of religion and expression, when its holy scriptures state otherwise? Change ), http://www.salaam.co.uk/maktabi/islamophobia.html. The more widely this is known the sooner it will stop. If CAIR don’t like Aladdin movie, then don’t watch it. Jasmine, Aladdin’s girlfriend, was an invention of the Disney film – at least, the name was.
best in its niche. It’s funny how people work so hard to make arabs have no culture. Not long after I read this I was in a second-hand shop in Ely, NV and found a copy of 1001 nights from 1932. Aladdin was created in 1992, won two Academy Awards and was considered one of the most successful Disney films ever produced (Giroux 2004:172). Our sources for this are impeccable, Ali: see John Payne, Alaeddin and the Enchanted Lamp and Other Stories (London 1901), which gives details of French translator Antoine Galland’s encounter with Syrian merchant ‘Hanna’ in 1709 and of the discovery in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris of two Arabic manuscripts containing Aladdin and two more of the added tales (Ali Baba and Sinbad the Sailor being the two in question). (Will Smith is hilarious as the Genie). How could that entire book be translated into a two hour movie. The movie that has stood out the most containing Islam and Muslim racism is Aladdin. However. Western politicians should heed the philosopher Karl Popper’s warning about the paradox of tolerance in his book ‘The Open Society and Its Enemies’: “Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance.
The concepts of the story is also arabic despite what your article conveys. Keep up the great work. Additionally none of these concepts exist in China modern or ancient.
Did you know the young Dickens was also an avid reader of them? I had to wait to stop laughing, before I could write a comment! wow, I didn’t know about that, I am shocked. BTW, Sharia law does allow some artistic productions as long as they PROMOTE ISLAM … as in ‘propaganda’ … in other words … ALL artistic productions are required to be propagandistic promotions of Sunnite Islam. Evidently, had CAIR et al been consulted in the making of the movie Aladdin, the movie would look quite different, not to mention being a box office flop. Islam is a criminal cult that is a threat to the national security of any nation foolish enough to allow Muslims to immigrate.
CAIR also condemned Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for a so-called “Islamophobic” episode, and CAIR didn’t stop there. Disney, like almost every movie adaptation – takes liberties with any book or story. The Arabic word for “house” is “bait.”. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either a fool or complicit in aiding and abetting this pernicious ideology. Islamophobia had been present for centuries in Western society.
That’s not being phobic about Islam, but realistic! But I wanted to let you know that your post has ignited my curiosity. Box 55089, Sherman Oaks, CA 91499-1964.
Very much like your posts….

Islam Although small improvements were made following the protest, the changes were not drastic enough to counteract the stereotypes.

I wasn’t aware Jasmine existed in earlier tellings, so this information is fantastic – the story of Aladdin has even more interesting twists and turns than we first thought!
