I have another suggestion for Muslims..and it's about time they started fighting back in the best way possible...take the battle to THEM...right into their living rooms...not violence...but bright and impassioned CONFRONTATION...these Christian assholes have dominated the field because we were so damn stupid we thought they were talking about god when money and power was behind it all this...they were counting on OUR decency not to challenge them directly and send them and their god packing.

I suggest Muslims stick their art in America's face...like we did with our Assyrian, not Christian, art. A community of Muslims in America in Paris...anywhere where Christians think they have an open society, should take advantage of the laws on the books NOW...before they disappear...and it doesn't have to be figurative if they object to that...though that's a shame because people need to see representations of all the great Muslims there are or they won't relate to the PEOPLE of Islam..it's okay for Muslims not to need to see picture books..which is all the Church's religious art, magnificent stuff too, amounted to..a visual guide to people who didn't know how to read..but this is different...Muslims need to reach OTHERS..to put a human face on their faith...like a statue of Scherezade..is there a better known figure in the world?

That was my agenda with selecting well know Assyrian personalities...attach ourselves to the name recognition they already have...There are SO many great Muslims throughout history meanwhile the media show the same clip over and over again of mothers wailing in anguish over murdered children knowing all Whites will recognize the enemy mothers of enemy children...kill them all.

Ignorance is the greatest enemy...Whites feel Muslims are exotic..from another planet...a Muslim Bambi, or Sleeping Beauty would do more than a handfull of scholars...if figurative art is out then how about caligraphy as art? While the delegation from the United States was here, a couple of members carved the assyrian word for peace...shlama...out of wood..it was a beautiful piece of design work...I'm at work on a silver bracelet made of a band of the word "peace" in estrangeli...cuneiform, Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi...the letters are simply beautifull....a monument could easily be made from the Arabic words to any of the magnificent poems there are in the language..I had a design for one actually...no one can deny the beauty of the letters and great caligraphy is something Islamic Art is rich in...why they even look like far more refined versions of abstract steel scultptures...only these have MEANING...and the advantage is that we go face to face with White reluctance to allow Islam any scope to humanize itself...right there in downtown Los Angeles...or Boston...a bronze monuent of words..just words...but what beautiful words...and let them try to turn it down...because a Muslim Defense League should be ready to move into action...it REALLY is a matter of Life and Death..and Art is the ONE thing that endures and survives and transcends...it's a win/win situation all the way...and no...I do NOT want the commission.
