More Muslim Culture

Abd el-Ouahed ben Messaoud ben Mohammed Anoun, Moorish Ambassador to Queen Elizabeth I (c1600) artist unknownWould you buy a second-hand car from this man? No? The Festival of Muslim Cultures intends to change your mind. Despite a background of barbaric sectarian murders in Iraq, thwarted aircraft bombings in the UK and the news that "thousands" of suspected Fundamentalist terrorists are on the loose here, the UK Establishment insists on promoting the wonderful world of Islam! Its latest exhibition recently opened at Tate Britain: East-West: Objects Between Cultures. At least the paintings and sculptures are British; the objects are Islamic. And the price is right: free. So, this might be worth a look. It continues until 18 February 2007.
