   fresco that depicts Islam's prophet Muhammad in Hell, being devoured by demons

Sucks to be him!

The Milan daily Corriere della Sera said the San Petronio basilica in Bologna was targeted apparently because it contains a 15th century fresco that depicts Islam's prophet Muhammad in Hell, being devoured by demons.

Are prints of this available?

[j.havenfarm]

I can't find a link to see the frescoe. Has anybody found it?

[B-Chan]

I hope that in his final moments Mohammed comprehended his error and turned his soul over to Christ. I don't want anybody to go to Hell.

Nevertheless: if the Moslems hate it, I'm generally for it. Art lover ping.

Yours in Christian Fraternity,

This sounds like a picture/fresco I would like to see.

These guys take themselves too seriously. With so much time on their hands, one would think they would at least bathe more often.

In a few more decades Muslims in Italy will be politically powerful enough that they will not have to resort to such crude methods. They will be able to get Italian politicians, pandering for their votes, to destroy it legally.

What a classic. Even in the 1400's, the Italians knew what was going on. Bump for the preservation of art!
