Illustrator wanted for Children’s Picture Qur’an, featuring images of Allah and the prophets

35

I received this email from Kåre Bluitgen, whose quest for an illustrator for his biography of Muhammad touched off the Muhammad cartoon crisis in 2005. Muslims worldwide rioted and murdered innocent people after the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published innocuous cartoons of Muhammad in response to Bluitgen’s inability to find someone willing to illustrate his book.

The point was to stand up for the freedom of speech and reject violent intimidation. Instead, however, the West responded by caving in to violent intimidation. Only a handful of newspapers had the courage to reprint the cartoons. Most gave away their freedom of speech and showed that bullying works. The same thing happened after my Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest was fired upon by jihadis in Garland, Texas in 2015. The mainstream media attacked me, as if I should know better than to violate sharia blasphemy laws. Few had any understanding of the free speech implications at stake.

Now Kåre Bluitgen is again looking for an illustrator. Is there any artist with the courage?

Story continues below advertisement

In an advertisement and essays in Scandinavian papers and internet medias, I have unsuccessfully tried to find an illustrator for my forthcoming book, The Children’s Picture Quran. It was my biography of the Prophet Muhammad (Koranen og Profeten Muhammeds liv) which, in 2005, triggered the worldwide Muhammad crisis. The Muhammed crisis became, at least in Denmark, extremely important and is seen as the biggest foreign policy crisis since the Second World War.

However, my call for artists to create illustrations for a rewritten Quran has achieved no response in Scandinavia. Therefore, I hope that you will spread my message even further, so that the world will experience the first illustrated Quran. I attach an English translation of the text published in Scandinavia.

Best regards
Kåre Bluitgen

Illustrator wanted

Why has the world history of art never produced a version of the Quran with glorious images of God and the prophets? The ban on images in Islam led to global riots in the so-called Muhammad cartoons crisis in 2005-6 – a crisis that emanated from my illustrated biography of the Prophet Muhammad (Koranen og Profeten Muhammeds liv). However there is no prohibition in the Quran against depicting either God or prophets. There is too much ignorance regarding Islam. Some two hundred years after the Quran was revealed to Muhammad the expanding Islamic world needed answers to many questions which there were no answers for in the Quran. Then the exegetes turned to the hadiths, the sayings of what Muhammad was supposed to have said and done in concrete situations. Among many thousands a few mentions Muhammad’s resistance to imagery. A few hadiths are very hateful towards the illustrators. They will be the hardest punished in Hell. There are also no examples of depictions of God in the Islamic world, nor of an illustrated Quran. The lack of depictions is hardly out of fear of Hell’s fire, but rather the result of the rising pressure upon people criticizing religion. The secular democracy is challenged by increasingly warlike demands not to violate religious feelings and demands not to interfere with others interpretations, practices and taboos in their religion. But it is precisely this interpersonal exchange of views that bring us together on an increasingly informed basis. The art has penetrated everywhere, but there is one last white spot on the world’s art map: A Children’s Picture Quran. An easy reader edition with glorious images of God and the prophets, of the speaking ants and the Jews turned into apes. It is time for me to call for an illustrator, who, in an enriching manner, will illustrate my coming Quran. Both Muslim and non-Muslim children deserve this opportunity to converse on the most controversial book of their time. And for the last white spot on the world’s art map to be conquered.

Unthinkable. On September 10, 2001 anyone in the West would have said…. why not? We have been trained in Sharia.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH; I often feel that much Muslim violence is a cry for help by those who have been brainwashed by Islam since birth. They know they are ill with issues aplenty. Many do not know or have any other way in which to express their anguish and may not even really understand the root of their problems. Their beliefs and peer pressure keep them from finding out or getting help. Fear also, obviously, plays a tremendous part. (This comes from the side of me that is a counselor and student of human nature.)

Search the words Muslim bestiality. Shocking and disgusting. There are approved and recommended procedures for sex with a variety of animals ranging from camels to dogs. Eg: After sex with a goat, it should either be killed or sold to a neighboring village because it is now unclean. There are even instructions on Muslimas having sex with pigs. Go figure.

In order to try to reduce the number of rapes, one European country has established an animal brothel.

I’m sick of hearing this lie. He broke her hymen at 9 years old but before then he ‘thighed her’ etc. as is the Arab custom. You wouldn’t want Mo to be frustrated for three years.

liberals have some explaining to do, they glorified Robert mapplethorpe for putting a crucifix in a jar of urine yet vilify anyone who speaks up against Islam

Agree. But xians are like door mats they don’t protest violently !

On the other hand jihadis were following their perfect man – Moham-mad. And if you dare expose truth about him they will keel you !

just like the jihadis in Indianapolis are doing http://bit.ly/2rVCN7E

Wow, Islam sure is offended by nearly everything. They claim to serve God, but they serve nothing but the darkness and hatred inside their own hearts.

Why not ask the EX Muslim that won your contest if he would like to be the illustrator? Have him use a pen name.

The lame stream media along with the social democrats and liberals, have clearly demonstrated that bullying and violence are effective ways to dominate society. The same cowardly fools attack anyone and everyone who does not share their ignorant violence.

This tactic has been around for eons. The major players of the world, such as Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler used these same tactics to gain power and control. These are the ideals of the leftists, but they would not publicly state this. In fact, they will and do accuse us of what they do and say.

The seeds of islam’s destruction are planted and is growing. The harder islam is pushed, the more it is resented, that will change to something much stronger as personnel freedoms are removed by trudope’s sharia.

Strange how Jews and Christians can ignore the decrees of 2nd Commandment—”You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth”—yet Moslems take it to heart.

Could it be that they’re the true God-fearing ones? ;0)

An accurate translation of the complete text of the second commandment clearly indicates it is essentially a prohibition against idol worship, not making pictures or carvings. And many Orthodox Jews don’t do those things regardless. Muslims “allah” was the chief pagan moon god. They worship a meteor encased in a silver vagina at the site of the ancient pagan temple in Meccah… God fearing? Certainly not of the one true God- the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Hi, G. Gardiner.
Exodus 20 King James Version (KJV)

“20 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;”
If one has any ability towards reading comprehension, and is honest (something that NO moslem is) … You have to read … “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.”
It is not forbidden to make any image or likeness, as long as one does not bow down before it or serve/worship it.
I’m glad that we straightened that out, for you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask them.

Do not know i you saw this that I posted as a reply to you.

At one time I looked for Berdan primers and heard that RWS used to make
them. I found a retailer who used to carry them but at the time they
did not get any in stock in quite a while. I also heard that unlike the
Boxer primers there were more than 2 diameters.

I gave up on those Berdan primers. The American made Boxers suit me fine. As a side note, the casings I wanted to reload were military with a head stamp of “POF”, which stands for Pakistan Ordnance Factory.
