MOHAMMED IN SUBMISSION
I mentioned Mohammed depicted in classical artwork earlier this week when the latest cartoon jihad erupted in Italy. Matthias Storme at The Brussels Journal posts photos of another depiction of Mohammed, a 17th century sculpture housed at a Belgian church, that is sure to set off the jihadists:
