This beautiful 17th century wooden sculpture in a church in Belgiun is now being gaurded by police after muzzies threaten to destroy it!!!
The sculpted wooden pulpit, made by Mattheus van Beveren, depicts a man subdued by angels and represents the triumph of Christianity over Islam.
The man is generally thought to be Mohammed and he is holding a book which is generally assumed to be the Qur'an.
Last Friday the Turkish newspaper Yeniçag printed this picture on its front page with the caption.....
“Stop this hideous insult.”
The newspaper demands that Belgium remove the pulpit. The paper writes that “We have had the crusades and now they are still trying to humiliate us. This is as bad as the Danish cartoons and Geert Wilders’s Fitna movie in the Netherlands. Even Pope Benedict does nothing to stop these humiliations.”
Since the newspaper article appeared there have been many threats made (Belgium has a large population of Turkish immigrants) and authorities fear that the pulpit and the church may be attacked.
The Belgian press reports that police are guarding Dendermonde’s Our Lady church to prevent vandalism to the church and the pulpit.
And the maddness continues!!!!!
