I think that's where he made his error, now if he'd have gotten a grant from the NEA, well now that would be different thing all together.
I want to make sure I got this straight.
Jesus in a jar of urine=free speech
Virgin Mary painted with elephant dung=free speech
Shooting a Q'uran and throwing it on a mosque's front step=hate crime
Ok I think I got it.
This man's crime is obviously not "hate speech" or littering, it's "creative laziness".
Everyone knows that, to be a true work of artistic expression, he'd have to shoot the book, smear it with dung, and leave it soaking in a bucket of bladder juice outside the mosque.
Doesn't anyone take Art History in college anymore?
The entire world comes to a screeching halt when there is even the possibility of someone touching a Qur'an improperly. Burn all the Bibles you want.
