Al-Tariq is fictional character in Marvel Comics.
Controversy
Al-Tariq was a terrorist villain in a controversial "New Deal" story arc that attempted to redescribe Captain America in relation to the post-9/11 world. This story arc has been criticized for both jingoism and apologism, along with further flaming for having one-dimension villains.
Michael Medved penned a reaction piece for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies which can be found on National Review Online here. In the piece Medved criticizes the characterization of Captain America as a stunned apologist when confronted by Al-Tariq. Other reactions can be found on Amazon or here.
