That’s right. Unflattering depictions of Jesus are ok because, just because . But depictions of Muhammad are different, because we need to be reverential and respectful of Islam.

LOL! Even the "College Fix" is becoming corrupted with genderless pronouns.

Islamophobia: a made up nonsense term created in the vein of homophobia, another made up nonsense term.

“corrupted with genderless pronouns.”

From the article

“The professor has not been identified in various reports on the incident.”

The Neanderthals say you can't have any artwork depicting Mohamad or any other religious icons. We'd better destroy ALL religious artwork, just to be safe.

Just hire a few Talibans to fix the problem. We all know they are dedicated to "Inclusive Excellence" and respectful of all religions.

Shoves a lump of coal up its ass and squeezes it with its butt cheeks in hopes of creating a diamond.

Art history, what a worthless major.

This isn't really true. It is an actual degree (not a "studies" atrocity) and it ties in neatly with history proper.

This story demonstrates why it's important. How people depict themselves ties into how they view the world and shows their motivations.

And for you utilitarians out there, there are jobs available at museums, historical societies, and of course teaching positions.
