Mohammed in textbooks
The potential seeds of a Moslem victory in Europe have been sown; a Swedish publishing company has withdrawn a decade old textbook because of two pictures of yep...Mohammed.
And just who drew these pictures? Danish cartoonists? Crusader descendants? Jews?
The pictures were taken from a 14th century Persian (now known as Iran, ECF) manuscript and a 13th century Iraqi manuscript.
Well whaddaya know; over 700 years ago the ancestors of the inflamed mobs of today drew pictures of the founder of their religion. What would they think of their descendants' behavior?
