The Love of God
90 x 70 cms
Acrylics on canvas on board
This image has come up at a time when, all over the world, young muslim
men were
demonstrating against the totally unacceptable cartoons in danish papers.
Because
of this, my gallery decided not to show this painting. However, personally,
I believe
the muslim community to be a bit more tolerant than to dislike an image
purely because
it depicts the September 11 highjackers. The image is really about
love and foregiveness,
how much we must attempt to love and understand those who wish to harm
us.
Should anyone find this picture offensive, please do not hesitate to
make his / her
feelings known to me. I am very happy to engage in a philosophical
discussion
matters of a religious or political nature.
By the way, the idea came to me whilst attending church.
