It's a detail from a frescoe painted in some moderately obscure, but very old Catholic Church in Italy.

If it is a detail of a fresco that muslims in Italy objected to a while ago (and have threatened/attempted to vandalize), then it is in the Cathedral of Bologna. The work is based on Dante's Inferno. What the muslims apparently didn't notice is that Dante also portrayed Popes and other prominent clerics in hell. It wasn't just Mohammed.

Didn't notice or approved of and thus did not comment?
