13 September 2014 A.D.  Dante puts Muhammed & Ali in Hell: Quotations on Islam from Notable Non-Muslims

Here’s one quote from Dante.

Dante Alighieri (1265 – 1321), also known as "the Supreme Poet", was an Italian poet. His Divine Comedy is often considered the greatest literary work ever composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature. Below is Dante's description of Muhammad and Ali in Hell.
“And one his limb transpierced, and one lopped off, should show, it would be nothing to compare with the disgusting mode of the ninth Bolgia. A cask by losing centre-piece or cant was never shattered so, as I saw one rent from the chin to where one breaketh wind. Between his legs were hanging down his entrails; his heart was visible, and the dismal sack that maketh excrement of what is eaten. While I was all absorbed in seeing him, he looked at me, and opened with his hands his bosom, saying: `See now how I rend me; How mutilated, see, is Mahomet; in front of me doth Ali weeping go, cleft in the face from forelock unto chin; and all the others whom thou here beholdest, disseminators of scandal and of schism while living were, and therefore are cleft thus.[38]'”

Yet, a quote from a world class scholar, a doctored theologian and a credentialed historian, Dr. Barack Hussein Obama: “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam.” Out ya' go, Dante, on Barry's view.

Or, conversely, out ya' go Barack.
