Here's one of my favorites by Gustave Doré.

Canto 28...
In the Inferno chapter of Dante's trilogy The Divine
Comedy, Mohammed is described as being one of the "Sowers
of Discord," showing his entrails to Dante and Virgil
in the Eighth Circle of Hell:
Inferno XXVIII, 19-42.
The poets are in the ninth
chasm of the eighth circle, that of the Sowers of
Discord, whose punishment is to be mutilated.
Mahomet shows his entrails to Dante and Virgil
while on the left stands his son Ali, his head cleft
from chin to forelock.

Blake. Not really a blood-n-guts man.

Hi All-

Too bad that both Mohammed and Ali are both shown to be pretty buff in the painting. I don't like those vile creatures to get the benefit of the doubt on anything. I'd prefer to think of Mohammed as a skinny, child-molesting little punk with really bad breath and horrendous body odor if it's all the same.
