'Nude Koran picture' outrages Moroccans...

A photograph entitled Qur'anic Inlay which shows verses of the holy Muslim book projected on the French-Moroccan artist's naked body has caused a stir ahead of an art fair in Marrakesh.

Work by 27-year-old Mehdi-Georges Lahlou is due to be on show at the September 30-October 3 ArtFair although neither the offending picture nor the artist himself are expected to be exhibited in the Moroccan city.

Qur'anic Inlay is a nude self-portrait in which verses of the Koran are projected on Lahlou's body, including his genitals. Full story...
