A professor in the United States has announced plans to sue a Minnesota university following a row over her showing a painting depicting the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson on Islamic art.
Hamline University, a small, private school in the city of St Paul, chose not to renew Adjunct Professor Erika Lopez Prater’s contract after a student objected to her showing a 14th-century painting depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a lesson on Islamic art as part of Lopez Prater’s global art course.
