"What is with these morons? I don't need to see Bush hauling OBL's head while riding a horse in dogs playing poker technique. A terribly violent culture they fester in........"

Um. The painting isn't for YOU, it's for American Muslims. The image in the artwork - and just the fact that it IS art is extraordinary, since strict Islam represses any creativity, showing this man has thrived in freedom and appreciates it - is a cultural icon. He's got President Bush depicted in a way that Muslims can culturally relate to. Very 16th century. But powerful for the audience it was intended for.

Islam only represses certain creativities. Artistic flair which promotes violent agression and acts of violent retrobution against groups or persons en vogue with the hit list of the week are celebrated works of art in Islam.

What I'm getting at is that it serves nobody loyal to any religious faith to go about showing works of art which promote the very sickness within the nation of Islam. That painting could just as well have saddam on the horse with Bush senior with his head severed. He probobly got the idea from the side of some building in Baghdad or Tehran.
