It would be funny if it wasn’t so damn tragic.

Does Zombie at least get a hat tip in there somewhere?

Notice that the N.Y. Times (which also wrote about the Yale cowardice) quite obviously referred to the Mohammed Image Archive when writing the article. On my Dante’s Inferno page, I have rendition’s of Mohammed in Hell by Gustave Dor, Boticelli, William Blake, August Rodin, and Salvador Dali. It is the only place in the world where all these versions have been brought together. Lo and behold, the NY Times writes:

What’s more, they suggested that the Yale press also refrain from publishing any other illustrations of the prophet that were to be included, specifically, a drawing for a children’s book; an Ottoman print; and a sketch by the 19th-century artist Gustave Dor of Muhammad being tormented in Hell, an episode from Dante’s “Inferno” that has been depicted by Botticelli, Blake, Rodin and Dal.


At least it’s good to know that my Mo site is influencing public discourse. Now that the N.Y. Times has promulgated this info, all their readers are now aware that depicting Mohammed was commonplace even by the great artists, not an outrage.
