After seeing these islamic murals on a public building in BOSTON, MA a building by the way used by all the faiths, jewish, christians, protestants, and all the others faiths. Why islam getss preferance over these other religions, is beyond my comprehension. I for one don't want to see any religious symbols of any kind, on any public building........Especially islam, after what happened on September 9/11/01.

The funny thing about these islamic murals painted on taxpayers property, is nobody in authority seems to know anything about THEM. Not even the people I spoke to at MBTA Headquarters in BOSTON, nor anyone in the print media or television, I spoke to them all nada, nothing, they all said hmm very interesting. But I guarantee you this, not one of these news outlets in BOSTON, will have the guts to tackle this story not one !!!! It's just a matter of time before some kids, will paint spray over these murals with the likes of Homer Simpson. But I doubt the radical fringe of islam will think it's funny, nor will they get the meaning behind the choice of the character D'OH!
