Interesting that whats-his-name didn’t have to go into hiding when he presented his ‘artwork’ consisting of a crucifix in a jar of urine.

Hmmm, so was it the gays or the muslims making the death threats????

The middle east suffers from an AIDS epidemic.

Wonder why?

Maybe we should be looking for bin Laden in the San Fransisco bath houses.

Sooreh, honey, git yo’sef down to the Ministry of Concealed Carry Permits and git one. What? No concealed carry in Holland?

Speaking on the telephone from an unspecified location in the Netherlands last week, the artist, an Iranian exile who goes by the pseudonym of Sooreh Hera, said she had been threatened with “execution”.

Let's review, shall we?

These are the exact people Obama wishes to have an open dialog with, as he's so fond of telling us all.

There are no gay muslims.....Ahmadoodynutjob said so......

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

Speaking on the telephone from an unspecified location in the Netherlands last week, the artist, an Iranian exile who goes by the pseudonym of Sooreh Hera, said she had been threatened with “execution”. She accused the director of the municipal museum in The Hague of cowardice for caving in to Muslim extremists.

So the Iranian exile, who is in hiding and is working under a pseudonym, is accusing the museum of cowardice? Nice profile in courage there Sooreh - at least Rushdie had the balls to put it out there with his name and face on it...

“Muslim demands can never be met because ‘their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims... and always wrong when Muslims are the oppressors or terrorists’”

Even more interesting is that those who oppose any federal funding of church issues with State money had no problem with NEA dollars funding anti-Church “art” with federal tax dollars. The establishment claus bars the state from coming down for/against any religion.

"It is not an artist’s job just to paint flowers. Art should shine a light on social issues.”

Yep - now paint her headless....

So, if a Mo’ Muslim commits a homicide bombing, does he get 72 cabana boys that look like Yasser Arafat?

Did the poor guys in the photos have to commit suicide by pulling a stone wall down on top of themselves? Or maybe they had to bury themselves in the sand to the neck and figure out how to stone themselves to death. It's kind of complicated, isn't it?

This is almost as bad as making Frenchmen wear Guy Fawkes masks.

artist who photographed gay men wearing masks of the prophet Muhammad

Art, schmart! Photos of fa--ots wearing masks ain't art, and picture-takers ain't artists.
