To: a fool in paradise

No picture is ok in Islam.

Only geometric shapes.

Oh, I know. Art museum here has been in love with “Islamic art” since 2002. Had to find something to balance perceptions after 9-11.

They don't call it “middle eastern” art or any such thing but I don't ever see them identifying collections/exhibits as “Christian art” even when Medieval works full of Christian iconography.

Geometric or calligraphy. That's all you get. And a limited color palette.

Depends on the flavor of Islam. Here's a page from an Iranian comic book.
