Maybe the Iranian artist should have just posed a bunch of muslim men named Muhammad dressed up as homosexuals? Oh wait...it would BE the SAME thing!
This news report is just a reminder why Islam is "The Religion of Peace."
The pics are quite weird and tasteless, so I will not post them directly on this thread.
But, you see see a few of the pics at this blog:

I’m puzzled by how an observer would know, first, that the people in the photo were homosexual, and second, that the masks represented the “prophet” Mohammed. Were the pictures captioned in Farsi?
Those faces are depictions of the Imam Ali... or Imam Hussein as commonly depicted by Shias. I’m pretty sure that’s not the Big Moe.
Why is it the liberal cowards in the West want to find limits in free expression but only when it comes to Islam?
Not that I’m taking sides with the Muslims, but are pictures of gay men wearing any kind of mask actually art?
Irrational muzzie ping. Send them some Sudanese Mo bears and an insecurity blanky...these news stories are becoming all too frequent and really getting on my nerves.
And she is correct. Pulling the exhibit after the threats doesn't remove the threat to this woman.
I suspect if the fags in her photos were wearing Jesus masks the museum would make her work the centerpiece of its exhibit.
On Islamic Paradise
From the Qu'ran, Chapter 52, "The Mounting"]Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,[I'm guessing that all needs and desires will be satisfied, one way or another]
Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire.
(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do,
They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.
... Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.
They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry.
Just like the brother of the slain sisters in Texas said, it was not a killing to do with Islam. Cause Islam is a religion of peace... right? Maybe he was offended by all that Christmas, I’m sure it was the Christians fault.
Since typical ways of exhibiting or publishing can be threatened, perhaps they need to go “underground”, by doing such things as printing fliers and publishing ‘zines.
And since the government is ambivalent, they can use that to their advantage, slandering the extremist leaders. For example, what would their followers think if there were grainy b&w pictures of their extremist mullah Photoshopped onto gay porn? Hundreds of such pictures, spread all over the Muslim streets, would drive them crazy.
Such extremists rely on the ignorance of their followers, and try to keep them ignorant. By flaunting them, it is shown that they are powerless.
A few pages of print could claim that Muslims are leaving their religion in great numbers, even giving them directions on how to escape; that their leaders are closet Satanists, or agents of Israel, etc. There is no limit to the credulity of the ignorant.
Their inability to stop it or kill those that make it, would undermine their authority terribly.
San Francisco should invite all C.A.I.R members to its annual Folsom Street Fair!
...so am I supposed to be upset that there is an attack on “artistic freedom”? Or that these people are ignoring their “responsibilities of free speech”?
I’m getting confused...
