| Iran Unveils Prophet Mohammad Painting |
| 2008-08-21 |
| Ummmmmmmm...hey. Didn't our Muzzie friends have a buncha riots and stuff over shit like this? TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian city of Zanjan has unveiled the largest miniature painting, which portrays the Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) ascent to heaven. According to a press tv report, it took two years for the artist, Reza Najafi-Asl, to create the painting in the style of Iran's master miniaturist Mahmoud Farshchian. The 32-year-old artist has used 70 acrylic colors to depict Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) sitting on a horse and three angels whirling around him. Masoumeh Heidari has adorned the margin of the painting with illuminations, inspired by the work of the late illuminist, Haj Mirza Emami. |

| #12 One thing I love about rantburg is that when we have "Iran" in a post, google ads always seems to slip in that "IraninaPersonals" ad with the girl in it. I guess she's supposed to be giving a "come hither" looke, but honest to God, to me it looks like she needs some antihistamines due to her sinuses being stuffed. |

| #6 Yeah. Shoulda painted it in lead paint. With his bare fingers. And they left off part of his name: Reza Najafi-Ali al-Barnoumi. |

| #5 What, no picture? Or would a picture of a portrait of the prophet be haram? Also, there were no acrylic paints when the prophet was alive, so I know it is haram. |

| #4 What size is the largest miniature painting? Was the artist a tall dwarf? Can someone illuminate me as to the exact nature of the illumination inspired by the late illuminist? I'm here all week. Tip your waitresses. Or Fred. |

| #3 tu3031 There could have some extra anti Shia progroms in Pakistan next week but we might never hear about it because such progroms are both fairly common and rarely reported. |

| #2 So are the rest of the sects gonna go all Rage Boy on Iran or is that just reserved for the infidels? |

| #1 The Shia brand of Islam allows portraits of Mo. That's just one of Wahabbi "they are really heretics or apostates or infidels - kill them" justifications |
