An Iconic Peace

Muhammad on a camel, and Jesus on a donkey, greet the prophet Isaiah.

Here is an 'icon of peace,' drawn long before the beginning of the current 'cartoon war.' This remarkable image is taken from a 14th century MS of the Ilkhanate empire in Iran and Iraq. Clearly, that "medieval age" was a much more tolerant time than our current "enlightened era" - a time of real respect and honest dialogue among the three, great, Arbahamic faiths. God willing, we will move beyond 'cartoon wars' one day, and again start to draw pictures of religious co-existence.
