Just like the brother of the slain sisters in Texas said, it was not a killing to do with Islam. Cause Islam is a religion of peace... right? Maybe he was offended by all that Christmas, I’m sure it was the Christians fault.

Only if you’re using art as a flashlight to shine the BS light. I like to think of art in the modern era akin to the kings clothes. People don’t get any of it they just say they do. Now its sinking to the level of potty humor.

Since typical ways of exhibiting or publishing can be threatened, perhaps they need to go “underground”, by doing such things as printing fliers and publishing ‘zines.

And since the government is ambivalent, they can use that to their advantage, slandering the extremist leaders. For example, what would their followers think if there were grainy b&w pictures of their extremist mullah Photoshopped onto gay porn? Hundreds of such pictures, spread all over the Muslim streets, would drive them crazy.

Such extremists rely on the ignorance of their followers, and try to keep them ignorant. By flaunting them, it is shown that they are powerless.

A few pages of print could claim that Muslims are leaving their religion in great numbers, even giving them directions on how to escape; that their leaders are closet Satanists, or agents of Israel, etc. There is no limit to the credulity of the ignorant.

Their inability to stop it or kill those that make it, would undermine their authority terribly.

Maybe the next time something that is so offensive to Christians is passed off as Art we need to be more vocal in our protests.

San Francisco should invite all C.A.I.R members to its annual Folsom Street Fair!

It won’t matter because they know Christians won’t kill artists over the disrespect shown them.

What may change this is if there is a strong perception that Christian are a solid force within th electorate with the power to elect and defeat candidates across the political spectrum. At that point the politicians will sit up and take notice when we speak out because as politicians they really only care about getting elected and re elected

Mohammad 1: This town sucks, there's no nine-year-old girls to marry.

...so am I supposed to be upset that there is an attack on “artistic freedom”? Or that these people are ignoring their “responsibilities of free speech”?

I’m getting confused...

Maplethorpe at least had talent (subject matter aside).

Ditto. Did you know Mapplethorpe voted for GHWB in 1988?

These no-talent ‘artists’ try to substitute controversy for greatness. This one hit the controversy mother lode by attacking the big Mo.

Christians are obligated by love to tell the pagan their work offends God, because God is the avenger, not the Christian.

He sure did. Saw it in a Rolling Stone article on the whole controversy. Go figure!

Awesome! Apparently, he was absolutely REVILED by the gay community back then (and I guess there’s still some lingering resentment, even though he’s one of their icons). Hehehehe, mavericks always intrigue me.
