GOD IS NOT AMERICAN
Public Protest
July 2003

Shortly before the US invasion of Iraq, President George W. Bush visited a number of African countries, including South Africa. Local authorities allowed protesters to make their point, and I took the opportunity to paint a banner that protested President Bush's mobilisation of the 'Christian Right' in his country and all over the Western world to justify the war. When interviewed by a local Islam radio station, I clarified my motives: 'God is not American, or South African, or Swedish, or Saudi or Swazi.'
