OamfnodaU WoSquo'
According to one Of the tenets OF the
Mohammedan religion, 1t Is sin t.
make a picture of any living thing
The elaborate decorations Of the pal,
aces and mosques OF the east are al
most exclusively made up of ingenious;
ly interaced geometric designs, ara;
besques or flowers, intermixed With;
sentences of the Koran.
There is a belief among Mussulmans:
that at the day Of judgment Allah will;
demand that the artist who has made
the image Of living thing shall endowi
that image with life and that, failing;
to do this, the artist will be sent to-
perdition for his sin.
A gentleman who visited a mosque
In Algiers found that the tiles with
which the building is decorated, which
are very old and very beautiful, are
adorned with flights Of birds. He ex-
pressed surprise at this and asked If
the command against such representa-
tion were a modern edict
"Oh, no." answered the pious Alge-
rlan to whom he addressed the ques-
tion. "These are not pictures Of liv-
ing birds"
But they are painted as If flying
across the tiles" the other said In
some astonishment.
"Yes," the Mussulman replied, hut
do you not see that about the neck of
each there is fine black line? That is
to show that the artist painted only
dead birds, and the command Of the
Koran Is not violated"
