| This the real Black Stone of the Kaaba in Mecca and is the focus of all Muslim prayer it is the only thing that is allowed to be used for intercession with Allah. After Muhammad successfully defeated his relatives for control of the Kaaba, he ran over and kissed the stone. A practise to this day Muslims try to emulate. Allah was the supreme God of the Kaaba in pre-Islamic times. Muhammad's family were keepers of the Kaaba for 700 years before Islam. Allah was said to have three daughter ~ mentioned in Koran 53:19.

“I am very surprised as the Azerbaijan government was aware of the works I planned to bring to Venice,” Salakhova told The Art Newspaper. In the official press material for the pavilion, she had written: “I am very proud to represent Azerbaijan, a secular country where Islam and civility are closely woven together.” The Azerbaijan Culture Ministry could not be reached for comment.
The artist is presenting “Destination”, her first sculptures, in Venice. Salakhova, who was a co-founder of First (the Soviet Union’s first contemporary art gallery in 1989) before opening the Aidan Gallery in 1992, intertwines modern and mystical imagery, and has an interest in gender and Islamic themes and their interconnection. Her sculptures in Venice, some of which weigh more than a tonne, are on display at Palazzo Benzon (to 27 September).

Have you studied the tafseer of the Quraan ?
MoMo, do you think these guys have any educational background at all? Tafseer of Quran would have proven too much of a Challenge. It is great to witness more and more of radical Islam-phobic stereotyping thoughts spread among those who fight for the so called “freedom to disrespect anyone who is not like us”. Islam is undoubtedly the single number one religion that is purposely made to be misunderstood. The question is, should Muslims actually care about such misunderstanding? It is up to the person’s upbringing to debate such matter! However, in my opinion, I do not give damn about those who already made their mind. Take this website for example? A lack of sincerity, honesty and integrity combined demonstrate a master piece of deformed information that would entertain an educationally challenged person emotions! In fact, Islam does not need an atheist, a secular, Jew, Christian or whatever that religion you come from to latterly understand it! If a person is challenged by fundamental maths, and reached a point where admittedly realize that he/she fail to comprehend the logic behind the subject, why call it stupid? Why not say loud and clear you “FAIL”? yet alone launch a war against it? It has indeed demonstrated the pathetic behaviour of some people with limited mental challenge of the some Westerners!! Islam challenges your brain openly, that is why professors, doctors, lawyers and people from different background become proudly Muslims. Unlike those who pick to give a medical aid for the black book? did you catch my drift? If you wish to challenge, simply be sincere to yourself! No one cares if you are not honest to yourself! And no one cares if you are a Muslim too. Your Islam is not going to put food on anyone’s table!!! But, the Western world occupation on Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine will defiantly put food on your table. Its food made of blood of innocent people you would call terrorists to defend the idea of your occupation to launder every drop of oil, gold and natural resources from them! Now that would put food on your table! Your Islam will not put food on my table, but your war will take the food from my table to yours!! Islam has to be bad. It’s the only way people will buy the idea of war!!! If you have questions, go to the mosques, masjids, ask to meet with the imams and hammer them with your questions! Do not depend on opinions when you can make your own? Why do you have a brain for? Ask people directly not media? Judge with logic, not theory? The rest is up to you!!
