be aware that once reached Córdoba million, which was a city with hundreds of mosques, zoos, libraries, theaters, palaces, fountains of mercury. This was long ago, when London and Paris were just muddy with castle. This was long ago, when more than a Christian and a Jew heard the stories of The Thousand and One Nights. When the odd Muslim caliph or fall, the countryside drinking wine. This was a long time.
I know that I spoke recently of Richard Corben, also passed as do today, and it seems to me again. Maybe. I do not care. Because I want to report something and I'll do it by opposing the tenth century Islam, Islam in this century.
Haroun al Raschid 
. Ali Baba. Aladdin. Scheherazade. Sinbad. Make a legendary series, a mythology incorporated into the collective imagination, also western, a series of narratives and stories that not only the caliph kept awake and alert, but a large part of humanity full of dreams. One was Corben, who took what he wanted from the tales of Scheherazade, the warrior adapted to his style and erotic, and made us lick your personal narrative and bold. Pure delight. Not an adaptation, but a variation on the collection of stories. (1) In Corben speak on another occasion.
The complaint is motivated by a Last week's news. This is to report a violation of freedom of expression and denounce those who is encroaching on art, in this case, my beloved ninth art. In 2005 a Danish newspaper published caricatures of Muhammad, recently, in 2009, in Norway have reappeared cartoons of Mohammed with a turban and body of a dog. Possibly all in good taste or at least, of questionable taste. And surely offensive to believers. But freedom of expression and religious freedom cover this type of event. It also makes very little, Crumb, the underground king, published a sacred history; On Thursday often used, and a satirical figure of Jesus Christ or God, are manifestations bit pleasant for many people. But aside from the outdated condemnation on the issue of excommunication, Christians do little more (except for some fans). In the case of Islam, it goes further. The threat of death and the sentence issued by Imam locked in life to these authors. His work does not spread and it restricts your creativity. Worth it to send a message of support. And say that I found it offensive to have to give a lecture with the fear of being attacked and the fear of not returning home, simply by drawing.
Who wants now lie on a couch to hear tales of houris? Who wants to travel now Baghdad? Who wants now to be caliph, except Iznogoud?
the record, I do not include images of Mohammed to illustrate this post not because Islam prohibits. I do it for fear puritito.
(1) met Tales of The Arabian Nights in an edition of Aguilar. This is a compilation of many stories, some of them very small entity in which we talk about donkeys, wizards, elves, wizards, treasures, and several jokes. Undoubtedly, a collection of oral traditions of Saudi premedieval. Stories most famous are those that have survived. But it is a book more complex and richer for the Anthropology of what it seems. Richard Corben gets at the core, which is pure Richard Corben adds. Tim Burton, wake up and learn.
