Who is Ninjabi?
Ninjabi comes from the combination of the terms “ninja” and “hijabi.” A hijabi is a Muslim girl that covers her hair. The term ninjabi is meant to be a fun way to refer to hijabis in the Muslim culture. The ninjabi in this editorial cartoon is a fusion of this and a Texan identity. She reflects the voice of many Muslims who have experienced discrimination and struggle with defining their identites post-9/11.
Currently the cartoon appears every Tuesday in the Daily Texan.

Um...what? Why can't a religion have a vending machine? A Christian vending machine could have crosses, crucifixes, Jesus bobble-heads, etc. A Muslim vending machine could have little Mohammad figures -- oops, no -- pictures of Mohammad -- oops, scratch that -- crescent lapel pins, head scarves, Korans -- oops, I mean Qurans -- suitably wrapped in bubble wrap to preserve their dignity when they drop to the bottom of the machine, some Teddy bears that come with blank name tags, etc....
