One gauge of where an ‘art-defender’s’ mind is really at is what they think about art they don’t like, and its treatment, such as The Triumph of Civic Virtue statue that once had prominent place in front of the Queens County Courthouse. And it’s so beyond ridiculous now after having been through all the arguments in New York about ‘art’ that was things like a crucifix in urine or a portrait of Mary the Mother of God defecated on, alongside this Mapplethorpe filth, and then seeing The NYT avoid art that depicted Mohammad, etc.
Funny, it would not be hard at all to describe illustrations of Mohammed.
For example, "It's a picture of a middle-aged man in traditional Arab garb." "It's a picture of a middle-aged man wearing a turban." "It's a picture of a middle-aged man with a sword, riding a camel." Etc.
