The 99 series is about a group of superheroes, each embodies one of the 99 attributes of Allah.
Replying to the threat, Mr Al-Mutawa wrote: “My work has glorified Islam from the US to China for the past ten years. I really do not believe in ISIL and Qaeda (sic)... I don’t care about them.” He said he had created the series with the explicit purpose of celebrating the “messages of tolerance and peace” in Islam.
