Susane ColasantiIslam makes very large claims for itself. In its art, there is a prejudice against representing the human form at all.

Very well then, let a good Muslim abstain rigorously from all these. But if he claims the right to make me abstain as well, he offers the clearest possible warning and proof of an aggressive intent.
