and yes this is real the artist has even confirmed it on twitter
Ardian Syaf is an Indonesian comic book artist that works for several American comic publishers. He's deliberately inserting subliminal messages about conservative Islamic political movement in 2017 Jakarta Election in Marvel's comics. One of the messages written is "QS 5:51". It is a Quranic verse which states that "Muslims should not take the Jews and Christians as their allies/friends". Indonesian translation of the verse states that "Muslims should not appoint the Jews and Christians as their leader", thus the Quranic verse is being used by Islamists to prevent the reelection of a Christian governor of Jakarta. Another subliminal message is "212". It refers to the mass protest by Islamists in Jakarta that took place on December 2nd, 2016. Hence the "212". The protesters demanded the prosecution of the Christian Governor for allegedly committing "blasphemy" towards the Quran.
Here are some articles in English that explain about anti non-Muslim bigotry and discrimination by Islamists against non-Muslim candidate in 2017 Jakarta Election:
Would Marvel be okay with anti-Christian and anti-Semitic messages put in their comics by Muslim conservative?
the issue came out 2 days ago and it seems to have flown over the editor's head, I wonder what Marvel's reaction will be. especially considering this goes against everything the X-Men stand for
