Hague museum pulls offensive Muslim art
The Gemeentemuseum’s director Wim van Krimpen told reporters the museum is interested in purchasing Hera’s complete series, which he called “high quality works of art”.
However, he added he will not exhibit Adam and Ewald in the next few years because “certain people in our society might perceive it as offensive”.
Hera responded she was “disappointed” and added “apparently a Muslim minority decides what will be on display in the museum”.

I guess you can put out anything you want that’s offensive to Christians or Jews, but heaven forbid you offend a Muslim. Of course when you offend a Christian or Jew, they write a letter to the editor of the local paper. If you offend an adherent to the religion of peace (?), they may firebomb the neighborhood, or half of the the country depending on how strong the resistance they end up having to face. In France or San Francisco you can burn to your heart’s content. In Phoenix, about 5 blocks into the riot the citizens will put an end to the riot if the police haven’t.
