May the prophet save us from the silliness/absurdity of his followers.
Are those halos in the picture? Never seen that in Islamic art before. Neat! Until now, I had no idea the concept was nearly as widespread as Wikipedia claims. Halos do NOT exist at all in Jewish art (most likely because of their pagan origins), so I had always presumed them to be just a Christian concept.
