Dante: inferno canto XXVIII ventottesimo

From Ninth Hell or Inferno Dante movie like Dore gravures, music quite impressing।


vedi come storpiato è Maometto!
Dinanzi a me sen va piangendo Alì,
fesso nel volto dal mento al ciuffetto।

Western literature and art have portrayed Mohammed in Hell;

Photobucket
with his four wifes tearing him apart to get him to preform his marital duties, like the crusified profeet with no feet to walk elsewhere.

... in Hell, following the example of Dante Aligheiri (1265 - 1321) and his book "The Divine Comedy." In the section entitled "Inferno" (Canto 28), Dante wrote:

"A cask by losing center-piece or cant

Was never shattered so, as I saw one

Rent from the chin to where one breaketh wind.

Between his legs were hanging down his entrails;

His heart was visible, and the dismal sack

That maketh excrement of what is eaten. che merda fa di quel che si trangugia

While I was all absorbed in seeing him,

He looked at me, and opened with his hands

His bosom, saying: "See now how I rend me;

How mutilated, see, is Mahomet; vedi come storpiato e Maometto

In front of me doth Ali weeping go, Dinazi a me sen va piagendo Ali,

Cleft in the face from forelock unto chin; fesso nel volto dal mento al ciuffetto

And all the others whom thou here beholdest,

Disseminators of scandal and of schism

While living were, and therefore are cleft thus."

This image of a disemboweled Mohammed inspired 19th Century artist Gustav Doré to produce an illustration for Dante's work that still has a power to shock. It can be seen here. Artist and mystic William Blake depicted the same scene in a watercolor entitled "The Schismatics and Sowers of Discord: Mahomet." Since 1920, this painting has been housed in the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia.

Salvador Dali depicted Mohammed in Hell in a bizarre illustration for Dante's masterwork, which was distributed in Paris by publishers Les Heures Claires in 1959. Dali also portrayed Mohammed receiving his visions in a work from 1963.

In 1911, Italian movie director Francesco Bertolini created an epic movie based on Dante's work. Entitled "L'Inferno", it features a naked Mohammed, with his modesty covered by his hanging guts. The movie can be viewed in its entirety here.

The Prophet's submission on earth

"Eines Tages wird Mohammed Liebe bedeuten und Allah die Vernunft verkörpern."
AYAAN HIRSI ALI IN BERLIN "Mohammed wird Liebe bedeuten"
Een dag zal de Profeet liefde beduiden en Allah het verstand zijn.

Es sind vor allem muslimische Frauen, die den langen Prozess beschleunigen könnten.
Muslima wie Ayaan Hirsi Ali oder Seyran Ates und Necla Kelek, die gestern im Publikum
saßen, die Avantgarde der Aufklärung und Emanzipation. Es waren Männer, die den Islam brutalisiert haben und es werden Frauen sein, die ihn humanisieren werden.

Het zijn ten eerste vrouwen die de lange stijd beslechten. Voorhoede der opklaring en vrijheid. Het waren mannen die de Islam verkracht hebben en vrouwen zullen het vermenselijken.

Wafa Sultan: Islam needs a transformation and that "in its modern state is a prison for Muslims worldwide." Muslim people have been hostages of our own belief system for too many centuries. We have been hostages of our own prison.

From the sayings Mohammed
If thou hadst ordered me,I would have spread a soft bed for thee.

Lord Muhammad said, What business have I with the world?
I am a man on horseback, who standeth under the shade of a tree,
then leaveth it to the light I have attained and in the light I live.

It was said to the Rasul, "O Messenger of God! Curse the infidels."
Muhammad said, "I am not sent for this; nor was I sent but as mercy to mankind."
From the Viking Saga's; Wind-cold, I am called; Very-cold is my father

O Earendel (Orvandel), brightest shining of Angels thou who over Midgard art sent to men, thou true beam of the sun, shining above the lights of heaven, thou who always of thyself givest light

O, helderste licht der Angelous Deus, gij die over Midgard gezonden zijdt naar den menschen,
gij ware zonnenstraal, helderder dan de hemellichten, licht boven de sterren, gij die telkens vanzelf licht geeft.



Wanneer je het vroeg zou ik een zacht bed voor je spreidden!

Mohammed zei hierop;

Wat heb ik met de wereld?
Ik een man altijd in het zadel.
Zo een die in de schaduw van een boom staat
en het dan verlaat naar het licht dat
ik verwierf waarin ik leef en mij leven doet.

O boodschapper van Allah, vervloek de ongelovigen.

Mahammed sprak; Ik ben niet gezonden voor dit, noch als genade voor mensen.
