Political Correctness has risen it's obscene head in the midst of New York City's most tragically hallowed ground. Have we lost our mind?

FYI:Cordoba, Spain is the city in which Muslims built a grand mosque that served as a stronghold for Islam in the 700's. It remains one of the important destinations of Islamic pilgrimage.

Art Corner

This is an 10" x 8" male study done with ink wash. I like illustrating on paper that has a layer of gesso because the ink wash doesn't soak into the paper and I can get a transparent look to the organic background splashes. When I let it dry, I can add other thin layers to emphasize light and shadow. As I'm going to finish, I can rub out some highlights with steel wool (an eraser will not cut through dried ink). This techniques lends itself to spontaneous brushwork, yet has a solid permanence.

And I'm willing to bet Imam Feisal Abdul-Rauf is enjoying the hell out of this.
