No, my dear. You came here looking to be offended, manufactured an excuse, and when you find there is no cause, you cannot back down and admit it. Now, your time with me is through. But I command you to make one final remark. I won’t be satisfied until you do, mind. I like knowing someone is waiting for me to reply.
I’m not offended nor saying this to personally insult you.
I read your initial response and accepted it.
Yet you decided to get defensive and snarky.
You don’t realize it but given that one sentence, the second one below, that you compromised the actual title of your piece:
“There is scarcely an example of art from the antiquities that doesn’t feature life. This is the culture Christianity inherited.”
Your title should be “Islamic Art is the anti-Western”
Yet, you are all over the place. You cite Buddhism as having images of “a human form” as well.
Why isn’t it anti-Buddhist? Or anti-Eastern?
Sorry, but as long as you insist on attention, your essay isn’t all that coherent.
I certainly agree with your last paragraph and your point, but your essay is far from perfect.
