Maybe the Iranian artist should have just posed a bunch of muslim men named Muhammad dressed up as homosexuals? Oh wait...it would BE the SAME thing!
This news report is just a reminder why Islam is "The Religion of Peace."
The pics are quite weird and tasteless, so I will not post them directly on this thread.
But, you see see a few of the pics at this blog:

I’m puzzled by how an observer would know, first, that the people in the photo were homosexual, and second, that the masks represented the “prophet” Mohammed. Were the pictures captioned in Farsi?
Those faces are depictions of the Imam Ali... or Imam Hussein as commonly depicted by Shias. I’m pretty sure that’s not the Big Moe.
Why is it the liberal cowards in the West want to find limits in free expression but only when it comes to Islam?
look my post before. Those are the common depictions of the Shia imams. Prints of those plaster the streets of Iran and other Shia places.
Thanks for the additional information. And I suppose the situation in which the two men are pictures suggests homosexuality, no matter what the models actually do in real life.
Not that I’m taking sides with the Muslims, but are pictures of gay men wearing any kind of mask actually art?
Irrational muzzie ping. Send them some Sudanese Mo bears and an insecurity blanky...these news stories are becoming all too frequent and really getting on my nerves.
And she is correct. Pulling the exhibit after the threats doesn't remove the threat to this woman.
I didn’t follow the link but I assume that many of the photos have “behavioral clues.”
I suspect if the fags in her photos were wearing Jesus masks the museum would make her work the centerpiece of its exhibit.
While I admire her moxie, Maplethorpe at least had talent (subjet matter aside).

No more than a Crucifix in a jar of urine. But at least nobody lost their head over THAT!

Is a Crucifix in a jar of piss, art? Is a painting of the Virgin Mary splattered with sh*t, art? You tell me. Then tell me why ragheads complaints about what offends them are addressed immediately while Christians are blown off with the claim what THEY object to is art and as such protected by free speech.
mohammed was a very white guy.
On Islamic Paradise
From the Qu'ran, Chapter 52, "The Mounting"]Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,[I'm guessing that all needs and desires will be satisfied, one way or another]
Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire.
(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do,
They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.
... Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.
They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry.
