If this is the 'sculpture' I've seen referenced too many times on this forum already, I'm more amused (in the train wreck sort of way) than offended. I don't think it looks phallic; I think it looks like His Excellency is being assaulted by a giant squid ...

Right you are.

I'm curious to know what the small print says.

Beautification = Penis Hat.

Is Andrew Sullivan on the board at this college?

IT's very easy to show these courts and schools to be the hypocrits that they are: Simply erect a statue dipicting mohammad as he factually was. THE SAME PEOPLE WIL ORDER IT'S REMOVEL.

I wonder how a statue could portray him as a pedophile, without being obscene. Ah, how about him on top of a 9-year-old girl, and a sheet covering their midsections? Yeah, that's it.

Sounds like some civil disobedience is in order here. A bit of dynamite should do the job.

What you describe is not civil disobedeince. It is............

"Performance Art".

"Once again, as long as you are bashing Christians, you can do it with impunity."

That's a fact. Christians have got to rise up and confront this blatant and obvious attack on their faith. My God, if the statue showed Mohammed with one of his child brides the ACLU and all the liberals in America would be crying foul, and shouting "Racism!" and "Intolerant!" at the tops of their voices. Christians have got to start fighting back, and soon.

Bah. Our faith can withstand any and all attacks from the world. That's what separates ours from theirs. We know we win in the end. This, too, shall pass. Bring it on.

So, you're one of those "turn the other cheek" guys? Talk about thinning out the ranks.

I have yet to see a statue that poses any threat. Just don't swing it at me.
