“Beauty & truth are intertwined”, this observation was made by Titus Kaphor
on TED – talking on “can beauty open our hearts to difficult
conversations?”;
We will not be talking about Titus Kaphor’s work here. However, I thought
that I use his quote to make my point which is “Ugliness and falsity are
analogous”.
So in this particular document I illustrate this view by a picture of Kabaa
the Holy place of Islam. As you can see this artists impression does not
fully comprehend the beauty of this place! This picture has been deliberately
chosen for this particular reason, i.e. not showing the full beauty of this
remarkable place!
Why?
To answer that I would add “Beauty can be a deception”, if I had presented a
beautiful picture of Kabaa, it would have been cohort with all others who
do!
I can assure you that would have been a bad idea! The Saudi Government the
pivot of Islam seems to play as if nothing is wrong. Stoning ladies to
death, beheading others for menial crimes, chopping thief’s hands,
supressing their women, giving authority to men over women, the list goes on
and on!
My comparison with the picture in this gallery with the beautiful pictures
you see on the media of Kabaa, is this particular point “Beauty can be a
deception”, and in this instance it is. The picture I have shown here is the
reality while the pictures you see on media are a deception with ugliness
hiding behind it.
I am a Muslim I respect Islam, and I have tremendous respect for Kabaa, but
I also believe in honesty, sincerity and truth!
I hope I have highlighted with this unique way what Saudi’s are all about.
None of the criteria mentioned above applied by Saudi’s have any claim on
Islam, it is man-made stuff, and they are sinning to the nth degree by
proclaiming it to God!!!!
