Muslim Artist’s Exhibition Subjected to Vandalism and Intimidation

October 31, 2008 by Lee Hancock  


An exhibition by an Islamic conceptual artist has been plagued by violence and threatening phone calls and emails.

Sarah Maple has been exhibiting her work at the SaLon Gallery in Notting Hill where a number of the pieces feature her take on being a Muslim in western society. One painting depicts a Muslim woman cradling a pig while another is of a burka clad woman wearing a badge saying “I Love Orgasms.”

Maple, who has been dubbed the new Tracy Emin, has previously featured Islamic themes in her art. At an exhibition at Ronnie Wood’s Scream gallery, a number of the paintings featured Muslim women in suggestive poses. In one painting a Muslim woman is suggestively sucking on a banana while another picture is entitled “Self portrait with my mother’s headscarf and the breast of Kate Moss.”

Samir Ceric, the director of the west London gallery, has said that it has been subjected to a campaign of violence and threats, including having its windows smashed. He said: “This criminal behaviour is a manifestation of cowardice and lack of openness to engage in a dialogue.

“It is also an attempt to impede the freedom of expression to which all citizens of the UK are entitled.”

The gallery has also had numerous threatening telephone calls and emails. Earlier in the week a woman wearing a burka went into the gallery and began threatening staff. Because of the violence, the gallery now has 24-hour police protection.

Talking about the paintings that had caused such a reaction, Sarah Maple said:

“The Islamic-themed pieces I’ve done were about integrating eastern and western cultures and questioning whether we can successfully combine the two, or whether we need a bit more understanding.”

Mokhtar Badri, vice president of the Muslim Association of Britain, condemned the paintings and said that his organisation will visit the gallery and demand that the offending pictures are removed. He commented: “She clearly wants to provoke a strong reaction from Muslims and that is what she will get.”

    “Talking about the paintings that had caused such a reaction, Sarah Maple said: “The Islamic-themed pieces I’ve done were about integrating eastern and western cultures and questioning whether we can successfully combine the two, or whether we need a bit more understanding.”

    It’s a valid question, but the logic never finds its natural conclusion. If two entities are incompatible, it’s unfair [to both] to make them stay together.

    “This criminal behaviour is a manifestation of cowardice and lack of openness to engage in a dialogue.

    “It is also an attempt to impede the freedom of expression to which all citizens of the UK are entitled.”

    and

    Mokhtar Badri, vice president of the Muslim Association of Britain, condemned the paintings and said that his organisation will visit the gallery and demand that the offending pictures are removed. He commented: “She clearly wants to provoke a strong reaction from Muslims and that is what she will get.” (Does she?) (No surprise there then!)

    This is just the ongoing attack on freedom of Expression in the Arts. Freedom of Expression that that characterised Modern Western Art as exemplified in all the ’shock of the new’ as for sometime now no longer shocks. It is for the most part self-absorbed. Until works like this come along and shock us into debate and freedom to discuss such issues as this artist as placed before us and which we are generally forbidden to have reasonable discourse about.

    It seems moreover the Muslim Council of Great Britain will soon be annexed to the Arts Council Of England as there official censoreship unit.

    As an aside the picture displayed here is curously near identical to an image, right down to the white and red and the nurseing of the pig (but minus the head gear) I had in mind for a piece of performance art….

    Yes unfair and as we see they casue only conflict and daeth ..here comes the MCGB!!

    This is how it starts, set an example to other muslims to toe the Islamic line or else.

    Muslim artist gets death threats
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7701168.stm

    A Somali teenager was beaten to death by a gang in a row over accusations his cousin drank alcohol, a court heard.
    Ali Mohammed allegedly accused Ahmed Mahamoud Ahmed of breaking Muslim rules by drinking alcohol, before holding him down while a friend hit his head with a bat.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/7695911.stm

    Further down the road it will be non muslims that will have to toe the line.

    Well, thats the general idea.

    Quote - “The Islamic-themed pieces I’ve done were about integrating eastern and western cultures and questioning whether we can successfully combine the two, or whether we need a bit more understanding.”

    I think Ms. Maple has had her question answered!

    Good luck to her. What is the ‘Muslim Association of Britain’ anyway? I’m sure the BBC will tell us, won’t they.

  7. Winston on October 31st, 2008 10:01 pm

    I LIKE IT! Unlike Mokhtar Badri, VP of Mad MAB: “She clearly wants to provoke a strong reaction from Muslims and that is what she will get.” VG - Very Good! I don’t know how one pronounces Mokhtar so I’ll just call him Max as in Mad Max. Max has rights in this once great country, especially the right to leave and return to his desert or mountain of origin - and take his tribal family with him.

    Mad Max’s words and tone are threatening - as they are meant to be. They just don’t get it these MAB Muslims do they? I quite like the sounds of Sarah Maple’s work, which can definitely be called ‘art’. She can certainly draw/paint and has genuine talent - unlike a slept in bed/a pile of bricks/a light going on and off/etc.

    These MAB Muslims are their own worst enemy - especially the likes of Max. It is just too easy to loathe them; I wish it was much harder, I really do. I have nothing to look forward to when I get up in the mornings these days like loathing them some more.

    If Sarah Maple gets run out of town - as seems more than likely - she can always bring her exhibition to the far flung island where I live. Islam, like heroin is pretty much a banned substance here. We know how to deal with the intolerant, whatever their religious - or political persuasion. Fit in - or GET OUT!

  8. Ipswichnationalist on October 31st, 2008 10:05 pm

    Perhaps Excalibur could market reproduction prints of this fine art?

    I very much doubt Excalibur would be given permission? - Ed

  9. gegeneu on October 31st, 2008 10:20 pm

    Surely the vandalism & intimidation must obviously be the work of far right, white extremists! After all, it couldn’t possibly be the work of members of the religion of peace! Could it?

    We live in a democracy. Which means we are free to criticize, ridicule, poke fun at parody or disagree with anyone or anything that we want!!!

    As long as we’ve checked the approved list first!

    Welcome to the real world.

  10. BritainIsChristianCountry on October 31st, 2008 11:08 pm

    I must admit I don’t like blasphemous paintings, statues etc. of Jesus Christ. But a campaign of violence is not the way to object. Can’t say I’m surprised that followers of the tolerant “religion of peace” disagree with me.

  11. French Mike on October 31st, 2008 11:16 pm

    And who says Islam is not a progressive religion :-) ? Maybe this male dominated religion is horrified at the thought of women actually being able to express themselves (both physically and mentally)….

  12. pcpc19 on October 31st, 2008 11:42 pm

    There will never be peace with islam in today’s world so why be suprised at what they do?

  13. yagooks on November 1st, 2008 12:05 am

    My view might not be in tune with the other posts but I have to say, I think she is just another right-on feminist lefty, with her head full of her own self-importance. She has painted these so called works of art for the very reaction she has got; all eyes on her. The only plus I can say about her, is that she portrayed Muslims in this way and not Christians. Brave or stupid? Just stupid like Brand and Ross.
    Stupid like the ‘artist’ that made the image of a child killer with the photos of children which OUR goverment showed around the world with the 2012 Olympics promotion video as if it was something good. I thought art was supposed to be a creation of beauty, not something to offend.

    -
    Art can be pretty much anything you like yagooks and the ‘beauty’ of it or otherwise, is very much in the eye of the beholder - even an unmade bed or pile of bricks to some! As long as it is not funded by the taxpayer (like the shocking 2012 Olympics promotion video image you refer to) and causes no harm to humans, animals or the environment, I do not have a problem with it. Much art is meant to shock or offend and push the boundaries of good taste. I don’t like it but you start on a very slippery slope if you do other than express displeasure - which is what these Muslims should just do and move on. Impossible for them to do I know, which is why they have no place here or in the civilized world. I think Sarah Maple is a very brave woman and would have known the reaction that her art would bring from even so called ‘moderate’ Muslims and not just the likes of MAB - Ed

  14. yagooks on November 1st, 2008 12:10 am

    Must add, has anyone been arrested over this, and if not is this a green light as to how I can act when I get offended,and is she paying for her own police protection …No to all three I bet?

  15. Fatso on November 1st, 2008 1:14 am

    Why on earth would this woman want to be part of such an intolerant, backward and truly nasty religion in the first place. She’s seen first hand just how “peaceful” and “tolerant” her chosen religion is?

    Also, am I correct in assuming that with a name like Sarah Maple then she must be a convert to Islam? I have to say I find it strange indeed that anyone, especially a western woman, would ever want to convert to Islam?

    -

    It’s not a new phenomenon, a number of stupid “intellectuals” converted to Communism in the thirties and forties; insecure inadequates in search of certainty in an uncertain world- Ed

  16. Davem on November 1st, 2008 1:40 am

    She’s either brave or stupid, It’s like watching someone poking a wasps nest with a stick.
    I wonder if she’s prepared to die for her art?

  17. Noel on November 1st, 2008 2:06 am

    Sarah Maple is clearly a person of compassion, tolerance and goodness of heart. Among Muslims, those manifestations of actual activity in her pre-frontal lobes rather than their mere, non-functional presence as cranial cavity space-fillers, are about as common among Muslims as are albino blackbirds.

    Why should this be? The answer to that question appears to lie in her name. Sarah Maple is not an Islamic name. I very strongly suspect that she is someone who has misguidedly swallowed the Big Lie that Islam is the “Religion of Peace” and has converted without taking the precaution of reading and inwardly digesting the contents of the Q’ran/Koran, particularly the 164 verses which command the faithful to attack, forcibly convert, enslave of kil all unbelievers. Not to mention its instruction as to the treatment of women and other slaves.

    The Koran is not for people like Miss Maple.

    She is clearly unaware of those commands to the faithful and is equally unaware of the dire consequences likely to be suffered by any Muslim, especially any female Muslim, who does not wholeheartedly subscribe to them or, better still, seek to carry them into practice.

    A poor benighted soul and a waste of a distinctive if rather modest artistic talent. If she wishes to live to a ripe old age, she would do well not to visit any Muslim country - and to hope that her fellow Britons will elect a BNP government sooner rather than later, i.e. before the EUSSR puts a permanent stop to such quaint democratic customs.

    Please take an hour to read and re-read all five parts of “Defeating Eurabia” by Fjordman. Peace requires the full recognition of enmity.

  19. ConcernedExPat on November 1st, 2008 6:26 am

    So,Badri is offended,is he? That’s not exactly a first for a Muslim,is it ?!
    I will watch this with interest , though what’s the betting that the gallery gives the usual “we are so sorry , we’ll do as you say” response that is all too prevalent in these situations ?
    All to help “community relations” , naturally.

  20. Stringbag on November 1st, 2008 8:41 am

    What we need to worry about are the clever ones, like Inyat Buglawalla - the wily Secretary of the MCB:

    “Is it not far, far better to leave Jones and her publishers well alone to promote and distribute their book and instead to focus one’s energies in using the same freedoms and liberties to promote the message of the Prophet Muhammad? ”
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/sep/29/publishing.civilliberties

    He’s started claiming to be in favour of freedom expression to con gullible liberals whilst arsonists and intimidating thugs speak to his real Islamisation agenda, It’s like the old IRA ballot box and Armalite twin track strategy.

    The Islamics have a word for speaking in forked tongues; tacky something or other.

  21. Valentine Gray on November 1st, 2008 9:02 am

    Arts are a branch of psychology, only humourless morons find offence in a simple work of art merely because of what the artist calls it, I may see a Jewess or a Medieval peasant woman or a nun holding Jesus or a woman holding Bin Laden as a baby. The Mind has an enormous capacity to decieve itself and I may amuse myself in the variety of names I would call this painting.

  22. redwhite@cross on November 1st, 2008 9:12 am

    If that is the best she can do, she certainly needs a little something to boost her career and she’s gone for it with this sensationalism. The woman can’t draw. Neck wildly too long, hands too big in relation to the body, face a mere sketch with a slab of unsubtle shading down one side (or is it a bruise from hubby’s fist?), yet the pig appears to be shaded on the opposing side. Light doesn’t work like that.

    It is offensive in that the ghost of sacred portrayals of virgin and child haunts this cartoon.

    No matter, I hope she stays alive and learns to draw to the limits of her minor talent before she self-promotes again.

  23. Stringbag on November 1st, 2008 9:28 am

    “A curator at a British art gallery alleges several works by surrealist Hans Bellmer, known for his life-size nude dolls of girls, were removed out of concern that they might upset Muslims.
    Agnes de la Beaumelle, a curator at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, said Friday that Bellmer’s works were taken away from an exhibit the day before it was due to open on Sept. 20.

    Beaumelle, who protested the action, alleged that the gallery’s director pulled the pieces “simply not to shock the population” of Muslims who live in the east London neighbourhood. ”

    http://www.cbc.ca/arts/story/2006/10/07/london-gallery-muslims.html

    Here’s another example of abject kow-towing to the “enrichers” in 2006- nothing in the MSM about it, suprisingly. Generally the enrichers seem to have a real problem with representational art and this is another reason why they themselves represent a cultural impoverishment. Not for them the glorious landscape art of Constable, the portraiture of Gainsborough, the striking depictions of horses and dogs(very haram) by Stubbs and the simply staggering genius of JMW Turner.

    And yet liberals often have it the other way, it is us that have no culture - especially the English; liberals are idiots.

    Anyone for a spot of “community cohesion”?

  24. Legend on November 1st, 2008 10:01 am

    Aah, the “Religion of Peace”. Always such a pleasure.

  25. CJ28481 on November 1st, 2008 10:05 am

    Perhaps I’m missing the point, or I’m too old fashioned, but my belief is that where art is the chosen medium to convey a political or other message, that the author made the choice of medium on the basis of being a master in his field, or at least a tolerably good amateur.
    Sorry to be a moaner but I find the woefull lack of artistic ability, more offensive than any implied insult to piglets.

    -

    The issue is the intimidation not the artistic merit, or otherwise, of what is on display

  26. bulldogbob on November 1st, 2008 10:22 am

    A stunning girl doing her own thing in what should be a free Britain but will probably have the roof brought down on her by the religion of peace and understanding. This brings into context what is really happening in Britain today. I wonder if she will be hauled before the sharia courts for blasphemy or whatever else they can trump up. Oh and do not forget, it will be rubber stamped now by our judiciary, compliments of the the all singing, all dancing, NuLabour brigade.

  27. David Little on November 1st, 2008 10:51 am

    It’s not my idea of art but to each his own.I favour scenes such as the charge of the Royal Scots Greys or the Union Brigade at Waterloo,others such as the Thin red Line in the Crimea.Artistic recreation of history.A picture is worth a thousand words.Such a shame the present Govt does not follow that line.A portrait of Brown and darling taking money from the poor and weak would do the job nicely.

    On the Wright stuff show yesterday an actor, name not known by me,was describing his present role as the Moor in Othello.The actor is Nigerian by descent and also took part in the stage play abandoned after ferocious Sikh aggression a few years ago when the author, herself Sikh, wrote about the wrong doings within her society, especially family and friends, concerning the forced taking of females and the raping of them.The protests involved damaging the theatre and the Police did nothing save telling the theatre to stop the show which they did.

    So much for freedom of expression which I believe is within that Human Rights Act as introduced by Mr Straw(Not the peasant revolutionary)

  28. Despairing Dan on November 1st, 2008 10:57 am

    Was there ever such an intolerant “Religion Of Peace?”. Attempting to turn the clock back centuries. Can you imagine followers of the Christian church smashing windows and making threatening phone calls?
    The more this sort of nonsense carries on, it merely serves to demonstrate that our two cultures are oceans apart.
    As DaveM points out, Sarah Maple is either very brave or stupid, wait for the Fatwa to come very soon. The tragedy of all this is that the Police will take no action against the offenders, even though they almost certainly will know who they are.

  29. crispy on November 1st, 2008 11:10 am

    Talk about waving a red flag at a Bull she certainly has gone for it big time,puts old Rushdie in the shade, Police protection for you Lass the Fatwa is probably being drawn up already,watch your back.

  30. Mandala on November 1st, 2008 11:11 am

    When people tell me I talk about muslims too much, I tend to respond “I’ll shut up when they do”.

    There is a dogged resolve with them, much as there is with the politically correct to complain about everything, simultaneously being the aggressor whilst claiming victim status.

    When they seek planning permission for a mosque they are a poor misunderstood minority, only wanting a place to pray. Anyone opposing the will of islam is dubbed “islamophobic” which is the new “racism”. Of course, once there is a mosque, it becomes a no-go area for the local residents who can trace their heritage back thousands of years.

    This artist is simply asking questions. Inconvenient questions. How can the West get on with islam? Simple : submit.

  31. bernard on November 1st, 2008 11:19 am

    By all accounts, Sarah Maple has a European father and an Asian mother, which leaves her in a sort of cultural ‘no-mans-land’.
    That would of course explain her dressing up as a Muslim on the one hand, and then as a Bunny Girl, on the other.
    No doubt the Playboy magazine would find that quite acceptable, but if she thinks Islam will think the same, she is in for big trouble.
    The stupid air-head.

  32. toby on November 1st, 2008 11:43 am

    Does this poor, misguided fool of a woman realise that there is no way that she would ever be thought of as anything more than a Dhimmi by the hardcore Islamics?

    No matter how much she hid her face, or mutilated her genitals, or walked 20 feet behind her husband all the time, they would still not accept her fully because of her race.

    If she thinks for one moment that a true Muslim would go against a single word of the Koran in an effort to assimilate into the Western world, then she is living in a complete dreamworld.

    Actually, make that a nightmareworld.

  33. joe1976k on November 1st, 2008 11:45 am

    As the muslim folk don’t believe in expression of free speech, then I feel they have every right to return to the lands where the religion of their choice can be rammed down their throats at their leisure and pleasure. It seems to me that it is a good time to change the British Pit Bull to a British Pig. Getting so tired of these people telling my country how to live.

  34. Steiner on November 1st, 2008 11:58 am

  37. Defiant on November 1st, 2008 1:02 pm

    Sarah Maple ? Sounds like a convert to me so perhaps now she’s learning what her new religion is really about

  38. Brysea on November 1st, 2008 1:24 pm

    I love it. A Muslim woman nursing a pig and it was not even her husband. Hope the gallery owner does not become another Van Gogh. Dangerous game offending the religion of peace. I think to put it mildly she is a little naive.But then most artists are a bunch of lefties and naive is what they are.
    Ms Sarah Maple oil and water do not mix. Same with Islam and the west!

  39. BritainIsChristianCountry on November 1st, 2008 1:38 pm

    It seems they are quite insecure about their “religion of peace and tolerance”. Take away the intimidation, threats of violence etc. would it survive? ;-)

    It’s like a work of art and many, if not most Muslims and other British nation-haters of the EU/Lib/Lab/Con/UKIP/Green axis of evil will no doubt find it offensive in some way.

    There you are, duck, you’ve got your answer

  43. Riothamus on November 1st, 2008 2:18 pm

    “It is also an attempt to impede the freedom of expression to which all citizens of the UK are entitled.”
    This statement says it all, we will always have the right say what we will, even if the powers that be try and fail to take it away from us.

    “The Islamic-themed pieces I’ve done were about integrating eastern and western cultures and questioning whether we can successfully combine the two, or whether we need a bit more understanding.”

    I think this one has been answered many times over by thuggish extremists who can only validate their religion by violence, such as the threats put forward to the gallery.

  44. anglo48 on November 1st, 2008 2:19 pm

    Isn’t it wonderful how broadminded these Muslims are? And how compassionate. For example, look at:

    It is the irrational, yet increasingly predictable Muslim reaction to it, rather than the art itself that is at issue here. It is ‘art jihad’ where there is Islamic intimidation [ranging from theatre productions to the drawing of cartoons] of those connected with anything they deem to be offensive in any way. Such attempts at censorship, especially with the threat of violence or death, has no place in civilized western culture and is yet one more reason why they will never be accepted and cannot remain here - Ed

    Don’t know about here but they do seem to grow a lot in Afghanistan, not for the Legion tho’.

  49. crispy on November 1st, 2008 4:23 pm

    Sorry to post so soon again but I heard on the news that they want an airlift of food to Afghanistan like they did in the Berlin turnout. The point is that if they turned their land over to growing crops of wheat, corn etc, it would not be needed. Poppies feed no one except druggies and big money for the war lords. It does not take a lot of working out.

  50. bamford on November 1st, 2008 5:09 pm

    ‘She clearly wants to provoke a strong reaction from Moslems, and that is what she will get’.

    I wonder what form the strong reaction will take. Perhaps a letter to The Times? Not violence, surely? Wouldn’t that just confirm our worst opinions of these unsuccessful transplants?

    I like the painting. The style is reminiscent of Giotto: stark, primitive, Medieval. It’s an appropriate choice of style for a statement about Islam. I’ll be looking up Sarah Maples’ work.
    You learn something every day on this website.

  51. JIM GREEN on November 1st, 2008 5:16 pm

    If we,the indigenous population complained about everything that upset us or found offensive and succeeded in having the offending objects removed of which Muslims appear to do, then there would not be many Muslims left in OUR country to complain.

  52. Tours732 on November 1st, 2008 5:24 pm

    I think yagooks comment is spot on. Enough said.

  53. Stringbag on November 1st, 2008 5:43 pm

    Jim Green - “If we,the indigenous population complained about everything that upset us or found offensive…….”

    The trouble is that Britain is a police state though:

    “How do native Brits react to this? Well, some get angry, as they should. Bryan Cork, 49, was jailed for six months for “racist slurs” after he had shouted insults at Muslim worshippers outside a Cumbria mosque, including “proud to be British” and “go back to where you came from.”

    “Even children face this kind of ideological intimidation. Codie Stott, a teenage British schoolgirl, was forced to spend hours in a police cell after she was reported by her teachers for “racism.” She had objected, in the mildest possible terms, to being placed during class with a group of South Asian immigrants who talked among themselves in a language she didn’t understand. For this, she was dragged to the local police station and had her fingerprints and photograph taken. ”

    Muslims are shackled by Islam, they cannot and will never be able to think outside the box of Islam. Islam handicaps the brain’s potentials and stunts its followers’ capacity to become daring human beings. Education is wasted on devout Muslims as they’ll never be able to put it into good use or go a step further by inventing things. Islam is good only at perpetuating evil - just look at the Arab Sudanese evil deeds and the beheadings by the sword of Islam in the 21st Century.
    I was not surprised when Muslim doctors plotted savage and merciless acts, to be honest I was expecting it.

    is an online art gallery, I think a sales vehicle for Charles Saatchi (or whichever Saatchis are interested in art dealing). The page includes a short video of Sarah Maple; and comments on such things as the value of publicity and her being a Muslim herself, or at least claiming to be. (It seems prima facie unlikely as there’s a ban on images in Islam - there’s something similar in Judaism, in fact, partly rooted in the feeling that people should have better things to do than draw/paint.) I don’t know if there’s yet an art equivalent of Amazon, but it looks as though art sold over the Internet may bypass the gallery system. Perhaps we could have an online BNP gallery of artworks? How about it, Mandala?

    Off topic but related:-

    is one article about that Sikh play in December 2004. The report says there were 40 to 50,000 Sikhs in Birmingham. ‘On Saturday night more than 400 Sikh demonstrators clashed with police outside the building, forcing the cancellation of that night’s performance. Some protesters tried to storm the theatre, attacking security guards, destroying a foyer door and breaking windows in a restaurant. More than 800 people were evacuated.’

    “Samir Ceric, the director of the west London gallery, has said that it has been subjected to a campaign of violence and threats, including having its windows smashed. He said: “This criminal behaviour is a manifestation of cowardice and lack of openness to engage in a dialogue”

    This behaviour by moslems was also experienced over the infamous Danish cartoons. Clearly, these people are now aware that they can use violence with impunity to abolish anything that they think is offensive to them, (which is just about everything that is non-Islamic). They are creating a situation where violence and intimidation will remove what they do not approve of. How long will it be before only those things such as art and literature are displayed and publicised after moslem approval?

    “It is also an attempt to impede the freedom of expression to which all citizens of the UK are entitled.”

    Not so. It is the native population who are being denied freedom of expression, especially when faced with the draconian race hate laws and subsequent kangaroo courts when allegations of inciting racial or religious hatred are brought. It is we who can be charged and convicted on the the basis of denunciation by minority groups.

    Moslems can act, speak and demonstrate against us, even publically threaten to kill us, with impunity.

    Good idea; a place where indigenous artists could sell their work. I would certainly contribute work.

    What sort of land treats a young teenage girl like a criminal ??
    Oh,that’s right - a Muslim one !

    ED - if the BNP needs to raise funds,how about Excalibur offers machines for monitoring blood pressure ?
    Lord knows,I feel I need one every time I read what the traitors are doing to the British!

    The BNP is the ONLY party which stands up for Great Britain and will not compromise its beliefs or betray its followers.

    Mokhtar Badri, vice president of the Muslim Association of Britain, condemned the paintings and said that his organisation will visit the gallery and demand that the offending pictures are removed. He commented: “She clearly wants to provoke a strong reaction from Muslims and that is what she will get.”

    Well, if the almighty Mr Badri sees it that way & says so then of course we’d best all just agree with him. Wouldn’t want to dare risk upsetting such a tyranical & typically unstable sounding Muslim motor-mouth any further, would we?
    Except, the fact is, & as difficult as it obviously is, as per usual, for ever bullying “enrichers” to get their retarded mind sets around, this female artist is fortunate to live in the proud mother country of world democracies & she’s done nothing wrong whatsoever (except stupidly be of the far & away most brainwashing, ever troublesome & thoroughly backward faith this planet’s ever likely to know) & has nothing to answer for. Just like the Danish cartoonist chap shouldn’t have had anything at all to answer for.
    She should artistically just tell Badri & any other bully boy to just get stuffed!
    Better still, i’d then suggest she gets in touch with this lot. http://www.ex-muslim.org.uk/ ..Probably some of the bravest people walking this earth but who no doubt keep wondering why on earth they should at all need to be brave.

    Vote BNP & help towards getting the likes of bully boy Badri thrown OUT of YOUR Britain! Unless of course you seriously think the future, especially for our women & daughters, would be better with the likes of him in it. And if you do think that, God help you.

    Do the right thing & get off of the traitorous Lib-Lab/CON’s PC mental merry-go-round. You owe those ever increasingly corrupt as hell EU puppets NOTHING anymore! How often do you have to keep falling for the sweeteners & scare tactics at the final hurdle only to yet again end up kicking yourself afterwards? GET WISE & let’s well & truly help set the course to get our country BACK!
    I couldn’t be more proud than i am to be a nationalist & nothing & no-one will ever make me feel otherwise & stop me always wanting what’s best for fellow proudly British people FIRST. I’m all for aiding & helping others, but we can’t properly & efficiently do those things unless we’re always firstly strong, fit & able, ourselves.
    This country is slowly falling to its knees. After all the centuries it’s stood so superbly strong & magnificently proud..

    ..As it will do again, BECAUSE WE WON’T LET IT FALL. WE’RE BRITISH, IT’S AS PLAIN SIMPLE AS THAT. WE GET BACK UP!!

    Remember common sense things & simply being told the truth? = VOTE BNP. - The one TRULY democratic party for the indigenous peoples of these islands that won’t treat your vote as if it has some divine right to it.

    Perhaps slightly off topic but still showing the intolerance of islam.
    These discrimination claims are becoming a daily occurance and must be costing the taxpayer a fortune.

    Well Sarah Maple, Given the response by the Religion of Peace, I think you know the answer. The Islamic and the western ways of life are completely alien to each other. Only a fool would try to inflict either on the other. We, as westerners, may find Islam offensive but what happens in Islamic countries is none of our business. Likewise, the same should go for Islamic countries when referring to western countries.

    NukeLabour : the entirety of British Nationalism was against these stupid wars from the beginning. We have no business waging war in their lands, just as they have no business conducting their stupid jihad here. A couple of years ago a hippy leftie lectured me on the BNP, telling me we were eager to kill as many dark skinned people as possible. He looked at me in disbelief when I revealed myself to be one of the knuckledraggers he was talking about. We only want to live in peace. Peace without islam.

  64. Mandala on November 2nd, 2008 5:07 pm

    BritainIsChristianCountry: good. Anyone who is too confident is incredibly vulnerable. Let’s vote them out. The technique here is to encourage people to vote. Let them know that their votes are not worthless, but also point out that if they don’t bother Islamification WILL happen.

    Apart from the religion of peace, who actually wants it?

    “Mokhtar Badri, vice president of the Muslim Association of Britain, condemned the paintings and said that his organisation will visit the gallery and demand that the offending pictures are removed. He commented: “She clearly wants to provoke a strong reaction from Muslims and that is what she will get.”

    Who voted officially for the likes of Badri and his chums to be censors?
    No one. How is Badri qualified to ‘condemn’ any work of art - or anything - in this country? No qualifications whatever. What right has he and his chums to DEMAND anything in this country? No right whatever, since they are not in any recognised position of authority. So why do they continually shoot their mouths off in this fashion? Because they are a bunch of nasty, presumptious, alien fascists with grossly bloated egos and opinions of themselves stratospherically high above their station.

    Why don’t the media simply stop reporting their verbal garbage? The less we know about the unwanted Muslim element in this country, and the less we hear from them, and even the less we have to tolerate having to look at them, the better will be the illusion of reasonable community relations - or anything resembling ‘relations’ at all.
