The Catholic church goes by the New Testament teachings and not the Old Testament teachings.

Sunni man is an idiot he will say anything to defend wrongheaded Muslim antics and tactics

You're just ignorant about Muslims.

LOL ya sure thing all the lies you tell add up and make it hard to believe anything you say.

I know much more than you do about Muslims. Don't call somebody ignorant when you have no real knowledge of their religion. You really should engage your brain before posting here.

All she does is lie and post half truths on this board. I know she is old and out of touch with reality.

 

[Sunni Man]

Persian art used to include likenesses of Muhammad.

That was centuries ago.
Since then art depicting the likeness of Muhammad is considered blasphemous.

 

[Sunni Man]

People go into Catholic churches and kneel and pray to statues of Jesus and Mary.

They use the OT were when it aligns with certain teachings and disregard the OT teachings when it doesn't.

 

[Sunni Man]

Sunni Muslims do not agree they do not ascribe to that belief. Art of the prophet is actually shown and made go figure you and the Muslims lied. Half of the Muslim world is not offended by art,

This is why I wouldn't hire a Muslim.

Even the Bible says in Exodus 20:4-5 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"
Basically talking about making people and animals as objects to be worshiped.
But the Christians ignore that verse and have pictures and statues of Jesus and other biblical personages displayed inside their churches.

All true and irrelevant.

No one has the right to impose such rules on others. everyone has the right to ignore those rules and create/display whatever images they like.

Painted by misguided people that don't know their religion and that it's prohibited.

 

[Soupnazi630]

You're saying you don't believe there are other examples of 14th Century artwork that could be substituted that would not be obviously and totally offensive to Muslims? Since apparently every other Religious Art professor manages to do it...and the college sided with the student...I'll say that is BS.

Muslims should be offended as should christians and pagans and atheists and everyone else.

if you are not being offended by what you are learning in college you are doing it wrong.

I know. When I first went to Arabia they didn't much like any photographs either but that was nearly 80 years ago. Last time I went I had a camera crew.

Nope. It's not idol worship. I'm told when Muhammad threw all the icons out of the Kaaba in Mecca, he left the one of the virgin Mary.

And you'll end up being sued in court and paying thousands of dollars in fines and a large monetary judgment against you. ..

Providing special privileges to Muslims is not fair to other employees.
