Another leftist double-standard
Harper pulls photo exhibit upon Muslim protest
An art exhibit that included photographs of nude Muslim women wearing only a head covering was taken down Thursday afternoon just hours after opening for public viewing at Harper College in Palatine.
Muslim students at the college protested to officials about the pieces on display in Building C.
Several students say the pieces — some showing young Muslim men with machine guns — were downright offensive.
“I think they should rip this down,” student Matt George said.
...
College spokesman Phil Burdick said he understands why the students are offended, but freedom of expression comes into play.
“This exhibit is not the type of artwork that the college endorses or advocates,” Burdick said. “If this exhibit offends the sensibilities of any person or ethnic group, we deeply apologize.”
Now, imagine that this had been Christian protesting photographs they found offensive (e.g. "Piss Christ" - a real photo of a crucifix immersed in a jar of urine). What do you suppose the reaction would've been? Quite a far cry from this! The Christians would've been laughed at and condemned as "facist, closed-minded, free-speech hating jerks."
