The Romans have censored themselves to make visiting Iranian President Hassan Rouhani feel more comfortable during his historic stop in Italy. Rouhani -- the first Iranian leader to visit Europe in almost 20 years -- met Tuesday with Pope Francis at the Vatican, but another stop on his agenda was the famed Capitoline Museum, where classic Italian nude sculptures were covered with plain white boards to avoid offending the Muslim president.

You don’t want Iranians running around masturbating.

Italy manufactures mega-yachts which the mullahs are in the market for with all those billions that just fell in their laps.
If they wanted the nipples on those statues painted, I'm sure something could be arranged.

"You donât want Iranians running around masturbating." You don't want them trying to rape the statues.

You're supposed to label satire as such in the title of your post. Oh, wait...this isn't satire, it's real.
So just add this story to the "Europe Surrenders" list.

Why not just take jackhammers to them all and avoid offending the “migrants” delicate sensibilities?

Muslims have this superficial morality - nudes are evil, but it’s OK to rape non-Muslim women. Satanic idiocy.

They don’t want to offend the delicate sensibilities of the savages. The same savages who chop heads and rape.

Why not just take jackhammers to them all and avoid offending the "migrants" delicate sensibilities? Eventually the migrants will take care of that on their own.

“The Romans have censored themselves....”
Uh, wrong. The people living in the city of Rome have censored themselves....
The actual Romans would have already laid waste to Parthia/Persia/Iran, and salted the ground there if they had possessed today’s technology.

Non-believers are ‘unclean’, yet they regularly wash their face with (and drink) camel urine.

I’d prefer to cover the Iranians heads.

Correct response is to tell the Orks to shove it, and boot them back to their desert hell-holes.
