Berlin Gallery In Islam Art Row

A Berlin art gallery has temporarily closed an arrangement footing one of the posters fabricated amusing of Islam's holiest shrine, the Kaaba influence Calculation.

The choice came alongside threats believed to act for from Muslims.

The exhibition was organised by the Danish group Surrend, which said it wanted to oppose religious extremism.

A poster on display showed the Kaaba - the black granite cube - shaped building in Mecca. The words " stupid stone " in German were superimposed on it.

It is toward the Kaaba that Muslims must pray.
