Muslim Woman's Artwork Removed from Canadian University for being offensive to Muslims

Although, as the liberal side agreed, that argument was pretty comically farcical to me. All of them, iirc, agreed that the school could exercise discretion in maintaining order (the liberals said that an actual showing of interference with the educational process or retention of administrative order was, however, required - while the conservatives more or less said that minors don't get rigid free speech rights), but only the conservatives actually made the argument that prohibiting endorsement of drug use (by millennia-dead religious figures?) was the school's primary interest.

When it comes to rationalizing rights (or lack thereof) for minors, its a fuckin' shitshow. No dog in the fight at this point. Seems like the promotion of crime is the clear winner. Protecting religion from ridicule should always be a sure loser. What's more deserving of challenge than "God told me so."?

First sentence of the article:

"The 'safe space' people have struck again at another Ontario university campus."​

Yeah, I'm not inclined to trust the comprehensiveness and objectivity of this report, given how many times articles like these leave out crucial information so that they can get their readers' outrage boners at full mass.

That's typical of Blatchford. Not a fan. The article has a definite slant, but it seems to present the facts of the matter.

I support it. Id support if it was a christian woman drawing tits and ass on a crucified Jesus.

Imagine a catholic woman drawing dicks and pussies on an image of a church. You gotta question their catholicness at that point.

What a bunch of cowards.

what would you expect from a cave dwelling, tiranical, controling death cult? Those asshole are constantly asking us to change our lifestyle to accomodate theirs but they wont bulge on theirs for us. #Islamofacismisreal

Whatever the artist's narrative, the University is pandering to Muslim bullying. It is the norm in the East for Muslims to demand XYZ sentiment or content be removed and or the creator punished because Muslim sensitivities were offended. Muslim sensibilities being offended is a common argument put forth by Muslims to censor any narrative they don't like.

The difference with Christians is that people can say anything against them and nothing much happens. Christians are expected to bit their tongue and deal with it.

The Da Vinci Code was banned in some countries due to the offense it generated among Christians. Even in Muslim countries where it was banned, like Egypt and Jordan, it was due to the pressure from Christian minorities like the Copts. And at least one Muslim ITT said he feels the same way about the piss Christ as he does this piece so actually Muslims don't expect Christians to just bite their tongue and deal with it, if anything they seem more willing to understand and accommodate Christian offense than secularists.

Artist explanation:

says in part that she wanted viewers to remove their preconceived notions and look at the piece by asking
“If the body was created halal (permissible) when did we make it haram (forbidden)?”

Cool question. Any bets on when she gets a rock thrown at her head?
