But like, that's stupid they don't expect us to eat halal why do they expect us not to depict their prophet?
It's not every muslim. Only the bigoted/loudest ones. Just like not every christian intimidates you to accept Jesus as your savior.
Basically they managed to convince a lot of people that drawing Mohammad is hate speech, while obviously such depictions do exist (especially those that also conflate having an Arabic decent with Islamism), it's just certain fundamentalists won the free marketplace of ideas through bullying and terrorism.
Despite all the legitimate critiques, it was a mistake to succumb, now Christian fundamentalists are trying the same, see the overreaction to the Olympics.
I'm OotL on the Shitlympics intentionally, what are the big babies crying about now?
People want to claim the drag performance was making fun of "The Last Supper" and the Gojira concert was "satanic".
By their own statements, that was their actual intention though.
No it wasn't. It was an homage to a French painting of Greek gods having a bacchanal.
It was literally called "The Last Supper On A Stage On The Seine".
