1. Oh FFS!!! As though Muslim women don't wear underwear??!! Or do laundry??!!

Who's the close minded ones here? The artist trying to humanize Muslims or the religious whackjobs who want to censor a photo of a woman holding a bra? (not wearing it mind you, simply holding it!)

from the link:

But other non-arts Muslim students at the school who also wear the traditional headdress and full-body cloak known as the 'abaya', did not share her open-mindedness. And the culprit who removed the art piece said she had been acting on behalf of these people.

Ms Graham enlisted the help of her programme's chairman who went to the as yet unidentified thief and asked for the artwork to be returned.

Though the woman in question attempted to broker a deal whereby the photo would not be allowed back on any school walls, the photograph was retrieved by university administrators without agreeing to any such terms.

Since the protest has gone public, an education centre in the city funded by the Saudi Arabian Embassy has expressed its opposition to the black and white image.
