I can not resist to buy it and help Free expression and free press. I was not sure to exhibit it here because I do not know if it can be retaliations or attacks. Anyway, We must fight for Freedom.
Who does not remember the Mohammed crisis?
Violence and trouble, trade boycott, burned embassies, over 100 deaths during violent demonstrations, death threats against the artists and editors. All this as a result of the Jyllands-Posten's decision to publish 12 cartoons of Prophet Muhammed, 30 September 2005.
Especially one of the drawings elicited a world covered the Islamic fury and has since acquired the status of today's iconic image: Kurt Wester's drawing of the Prophet with a bomb in a turban.
The picture got Kurt Westergaard world fame, but also that he has since been forced to live under constant police protection. Despite threats and actual attempted murder planned by Islamists, he has never expressed any regret and never said sorry to be a free artist.
Now is your chance to own an exclusive reproduction of this icon who has not previously been put up for sale.
