Fascinating website. This may sound disturbing, but I must say, this terrorist was a pretty good painter if these really are his paintings.
Agreed. I would be really, really impressed if Koontz had said all this *before* the event. Afterwards? I hope he never publishes his theories on the words of Bob Dylan.
Mr. Koontz made some good points about the biological attack, but his thesis is predicated on the idea of yellow meaning sickness, and I'm not sure if it all ties together. For instance, one of the paintings clearly shows an Arabian horse struggling uphill into a field of yellow. Yellow in this case looks like peace or salvation. He also didn't pick up the image of a horse running up the rock being a reference to how Mohamed went to heaven, so there may be some other interpretations of these images.
Some hundreds of interpretations I guess. The world is full of art historians and critics and cultural studies folk who can generate them for as long as you like. We have a whole department of Art Historians here at this very university. I bet they could find terrorist messages in just about any painting you cared to mention, if you bought them enough drinks.
