    My friend suggested to me that it would have been better if the instructor indicated to students where they could see these images in their own time and place if they wanted, but to not show it in the classroom. While I don't fault the instructor for not thinking of this accommodation, it seems a somewhat fair 'compromise' so to speak.

    I brought up to her how I thought this was comparable to people not wanting Toni Morrison novels taught, especially in high school, because the material conflicted with their moral values. But she thought that novels were different from artwork. Maybe it is. Perhaps it is easier to talk about literature dealing in controversial themes compared to imagery? I'm not sure I agree but it's possible.

    Second discourse is very interesting but we are not banning depictions of Muhammed (PBUH) due to disapproval but of approval to wishes

    yep, because Muslim = religious extremism

    wanting religious beliefs to be respected = religious extremism

    that’s why just skimming your religion’s central text and half assing church visits doesn’t count as a “””background””” to me, because niggas like you dump their religion and go full on enlightened atheist

    As a Muslim my first question is was she ignorant that you couldn’t draw him?

    I can’t say we should expect non Muslims to know that even with past controversies

    It isn’t fair to them and not exactly within their learning spheres.

    If she did know and chose to do it anyway, that’s openly pretty offensive so yes she deserves it

    There’s no still, it’s not a recent thing. It’s always been forbidden in the religion

    Yes because she gave her students forewarning which is an admission of guilt IMO

    The argument is whether the forewarning absolves her of wrongness

    It doesn’t. She knew was being very offensive but didn’t grasp the consequences or didn’t care.

    You insult major religious symbols Muslim/Christian/Jew/Hindu and expect to get away with it as an academic?

    my distaste for enlightened agnostics and fedora atheists grows more and more each post i read from these morons

    why they feel the need to speak on religions and spirituality in general with no background nor knowledge will forever confound me

    It's insane to think otherwise
    Like it's so open-shut

    You must truly love controversy to be surprised
