I refuse to type in his name, cause I refuse to give him more publicity. But it's the Swedish so called artist that drew the Mohammed-caricatures.
What I understand from the debate, that is going on in Sweden at the moment, is that he should have the right to carry on with his so called art and provocation, and if it was only about that then I will personally be the general of that army defending his rights. But, as I have understood from the debate and the supporters of this person, is that not only has he the right to provoke, but we should also applaud him for his art. We should all demand more of such provocative art.
So, basically, he is doing the Muslims a favour. The logic of the pro-artist cluster is that when he provokes the Muslim world, he not only forces them to think, but it's also necessary for the Muslims to learn not to feel humiliated by others' freedom of speech. I also read that many feel that more people need to humiliate the Muslim world, so that the Muslim world learns to "chill". So what this so called artist and the defenders of his so called art are saying, is that this looser is giving Muslims a course in anger management. 'Cause of course, the logic is simple. When you humiliate the most sacred thing in a persons life over and over and over again, he will calm down, start listening to you, learning from you and take on your culture, ideas and thoughts. Very logical.
Well, in that case I will start on a new painting of this artist screwing a dog. And if anyone, by any chance feels humiliated, I don't want your comments or death threats. Instead I ask you to come again in a few weeks, maybe then I have finished my next painting of homosexuals burning in hell. That these drawings are beside the point, lack any substance worth caring about and only are meant to point out already exposed categories in society and humiliate them, are just trivial facts.
All I'm trying to say is that if you want a debate with someone, or want someone to learn something from you then respect them first. If you wanna point out to a Muslim that his religion is wrong on many levels, by all means. Feel free to do that any time. Just don't draw a caricature of this Muslims sacred prophet and humiliate that Muslim and then pose with a sad face for Swedish tabloid magazines holding an ax - to then force this Muslim to not feel humiliated of what you have done. I believe communication is the key to all progress. But communication on the same condition for everyone involved - and respect is the foundation on which all communication shall rise. And yes, I know what respect is. Even though I stone women in my backyard, I want to enforce sharia laws in Sweden and I burn homosexuals for fun in my bathroom - becuase I'm a muslim.
All I'm saying is: Stop this cowardice. If you want to create a dialogue with someone do it with respect, say what you have to say and give the other side a chance. Regardless of who you are addressing.
Note! I appologize to anyone who got offended by this post. I have nothing against homosexuals, animals, Muslims, Swedes or whoever else I might have offended. Neither do I support any death threats against any artist of any kind. I hope you realize the aim of this article. And if you still feel offended, see it as exercise in anger management. ;P
