Not like it’s true or anything
Apparently yet another furor is about to erupt over a depiction of Muhammad.This time, the offending example is at a church in Belgium, the Catholic church of Our Lady in the town of Dendermonde. The depiction itself is on the pulpit, the base of which is a carving of two angels treading upon a man who is believed to be Muhammad.
And yes, the church is now under police guard, and the fear is that attacks on the church (and possibly churchgoers?) will be perpetrated. Such things have happened before during Muslim riots.
My thought, though, is that the church should keep the pulpit in place since, after all, it’s probably a more or less truthful depiction of the facts at hand. Islam’s prophet was, by and large, a detestable man, but in a more general sense there is not a human being who was ever walked the Earth who was even worth the role of footstool to the angels. Muhammad would be so lucky as to be something upon which angels tread.
