"Muslims have threatened the museum," Hera claimed. "But the museum is not willing to admit that this is the reason why they do not wish to exhibit the works."
Clinton-speak for "we are afraid of the Muzzies".

The museum director remembers Theo Van Gogh.
Too bad he has to lie about his reasons. Fear of murder is the true reason.

...pictures of two gay men wearing masks of the Islamic prophet Mohammed and his son-in-law Ali.... I simply found it exceptional work,"

Stupid effete snob, AND a coward.

The museum decided last weekend to withdraw a number of items by the Iranian artist Sooreh Hera from an exhibition, because "certain sections of society found these offensive." A spokesman explained that museums have the freedom to choose for themselves what they display.

The spokesman went on to say, "vacant display area will be used to house our Christ in Urine exibition scheduled to run through 2020."

I suspect if Christians were the offended segment of society in question the museum wouldn't have taken any action whatsoever. But of course they're not afraid of Christians. ...and for good reason.

Yeah! Right! That sounds like a great work of “art.” I probably woulda removed for a different reason, thus offending all the homos in the Hague.

A museum should never be forced to censor art it has on exhibit.
