Following are excerpts from an animated clip on Surya Al-Sha'b TV, a Syrian opposition channel, on August 9, 2011:
Title: "The Happy Forest"
A group of jinns demonstrating: The jinns want to topple Satan.
The jinns want to topple Satan.
The jinns want to topple Satan.
Member of Iblis's parliament: Oh Iblis, we don't have any means left to disperse the demonstrations.
Iblis: I am Iblis, who banished humanity from Paradise. Am I not able to crush a handful of demonstrating jinns?
Another member of Iblis's parliament: In my opinion, Great Master Iblis, we should consult with foreign experts, who specialize in crushing the will of their peoples.
Iblis: That's it. Tomorrow, I will disguise myself, and go to the jungle to consult with these specialists.
All laugh an evil laugh, Iblis metamorphoses into a mouse
Iblis, disguised as a mouse, roams the jungle
Iblis: Excuse me, I've come to ask you what's going on with the demonstrations in your nick of the woods.
Fox (representing Ali Abdallah Saleh): By Allah, I am not too good at suppressing demonstrations. I am only good at promises and rosy dreams. What you should do is go to the elephant.
Iblis: Excuse me, elephant – from your experience in dealing with popular revolutions, could you advise me what to do with my people?
Elephant (representing Hosni Mubarak): I stepped down. You should go ask the Hyena, and he will solve this easily.
Iblis: Excuse me, hyena – could you help me with your experience dealing with rebels?
Hyena (representing Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi): There's no way back!
Charge!
Charge!
Revolution!
Revolution!
Iblis: So you wiped them out?
Hyena: Who are you? Who are you?
Iblis: What's with this lunatic? Isn't there anybody in this jungle with any sense, who could advise me to whom to turn?
Snake (representing Zein El Abidine Ben Ali): Go to the King of the Jungle. He has the cure for everything.
Iblis runs off to find the lion, and bumps into him
Iblis: Oh King of the Jungle, I am Iblis, the greatest of the Satanic giants. Some of the jinns have waged demonstrations, which have developed into a revolution against me. With all my experience in tyranny, I have tried all the Satanic methods against them, but have not been able to overcome them. Everyone advised me to consult you because you are the King of the Jungle. It is a great honor for me.
Lion (representing Bashar Al-Assad) lisps: Come closer, my dear, so that I can whisper in your ear.
The lion delivers a great roar
Iblis: Shame on you, man! May Allah protect your people from you. I'm better off returning to my demons. Even the demons are more merciful than you.
Iblis escapes
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
May Allah destroy you!
