Now they care about a mosque.

Though it's understandable considering where it is located, it is still a shame that this mural is drawing this much heat. It is quite a beautiful painting.

That is a beautiful work of art. It's a shame that the community has to lose it.

Now if it were an artwork or a painting depicting something violent then I'm willing to bet that not one soul in the community would complain, go figure.

Only the Iman, everyone else is upset that it is close to a school and day care center.

This is another example of the vocal minority getting their way. Very few complain and away it goes, more people that are not offended by nude art need to speak up.

We have to forewarn the complainers to please please please never to take their children to an art museum. The Sistine Chapel in Rome, or to places where they can see nude statues or paints. I think even the U.S. Capitol should be forbidden for those children (it should, but for different reasons, not for the art).
It´s even more amazing that some local government officer gets along with their request.

The picture of the sculpture Father and Son that I put up on another thread some time ago. People like to stand between the figures and be photographed there.
