I think the picture is great. While I may not believe that a particular religion is responsible for the majority of problems a country may have, as an artist, you have to learn to respect the view of the person who creates the piece. For those on here who claim to be artists and still find this piece offensive, you are not a true artist. You have to learn to wrap your mind around the beauty and the meaning of a piece of work. You may not agree with the story this picture is telling, but you have to respect that it is a story that represents a point of view.

I think this picture serves it's purpose as a great piece. To see emotion flow like some of the people here have expressed is what art is all about. It may not be good at times, but tugging at the emotional workings of people in general is what great art is all about. I say, JOB WELL DONE!! Don't limit yourself based on who chooses to use your art or who chooses to reject it as trash.
