The character is based off the DC hero, Isis, and will likely be using her real name instead of her alter ego given how that name is now associated with a terrorist organization. The show's crew revealed that this character's addition to the show was in direct response to Trump being president. I guess the pandering Marvel does in their comics, DC does in their TV shows.

Well, that's one way to tank a show.

Also is a computer hacker when an IT guy (who is of Pakistani decent) working for the DNC was arrested and the DNC is trying to cover up his crimes.

This is seriously hilarious to anyone who knows anything at all about Islam. The first pillar "there is no god but god" is literally the fundamental part of Islam. This means no magic, belief in magic breaks that first pillar, and if you don't believe in that then you are not a Muslim. So of course their pandering token Muslim has powers from a magical source.

I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen any reeeing over this, considering how important muslims seem to be to the tumblr crowd. It's honestly a joke to anyone who is a legitimate follower of Islam.

Legends of Tomorrow has occasionally been preachy, but now that they're doubling down on it, I guess I'll have to stop watching.

archer was smart enough to get rid of the isis agency thing because isis in real life is a terrorist organization. why the fuck did anyone think this was a good idea?

I dunno if the waverider has the proper technologies to keep the rancid cumin sweat stench down to acceptable levels or not.
