#1 Christ's penis, nailed to a cross, semen dripping from it into a toilet is high art. Durga with a foetus emerging from her vagina is sophisticated culture. The Indian artist who did this is celebrated and defended in the Indian press.
Those who object are simply Hindu bigots.Never mind the protests were started by a Methodist minister. That is an inconvenient fact.

This exhibition of actual Mughal miniature paintings and Mughal records of the rule of the Emperor Aurangzeb is not art. India's Marxist historians have written the true history of the period and any actual records from the time must be discarded in favor of the scientific Marxist analysis.

After all, anything that shows Muslims in a disfavorable light cannot be art. Actual Mughal records detailing the hundreds of thousands of Hindus killed, raped and enslaved are clearly anti-Muslim propaganda.

The Prince of Arcot (a title granted by Queen Victoria), who is a direct descendant of the Caliph Umar, is right to protest. His ancestors were sworn to the service of the Mughal emperors. They probably did the killing.

#3 Freedom of thought and speech is a double edged sword, from the Danish Cartoons to Piss Christ.
Take the good with the bad.

#4 I am not a literate person but even I can see that episodes like this need to be brought to light so people may see the truth about this wretched moon god cult.
