Sarah Maple, a controversial artist from Sussex has received a death threat after her images depicting Muslim women went on show.
Watch the clip and share your thoughts on the art and the issue. Also share your opinion on what would be a peaceful way of protesting such art and artist?
Re: Death threat for an artrist, is it justified?
I agreed with artist Saud Al Attar, "I don't think she should be a subject even to talk about this art:D."
Re: Death threat for an artrist, is it justified?
I find nothing wrong with her art whatsoever. In fact, it makes me want to start a portrait of myself :D
--people who threaten others with violence because of simple offense don't deserve the air they breathe.
Death threats are taking it a bit far however I do find some of her work distasteful, especially the portrait of her wearing a hijab but no other clothes.
Re: Death threat for an artrist, is it justified?
the host is questioning whether an artist, whose art that is legitimately displayed in a gallery should receive death threats
here lies the problem. they are changing the perspective of the public by using the word legitimately, and diverting it only to the issue of the death threat.
If they attack islam, they call it justice
If they get attacked, they call it t3rr0r1$m

Islam is an ideology, the artist is a human being. There's no real comparison there. You can say anything you want about an ideology, and people's feelings may get hurt. If you throw out death threats and act on them, you've committed murder.
The girl is a legitimate artist, regardless of whether or not you like her work or her message. Her talent isn't on trial here, it's that of those who are demanding her death because their sensitivities have been "violated."

if you put your head in a lions mouth, expect to have it bitten off
..and then file a complaint of how you was only 'testing out new grounds' and that your actions were totally harmless
Re: Death threat for an artrist, is it justified?
everyone is responsible for his/her own actions. if she is killed by some lunatic then he/she will be punished accordingly. fair enough. unless you question holocaust as an artist... then there is no fair justice. you'll die a dog's death.

So a person should be killed just on some drawing that others don't agree with?
Re: Death threat for an artrist, is it justified?
you're not getting what im saying.. i aint saying that you should kill them
im just saying that its public knowledge that in the current climate, you gotta be careful with how you address or do anything related to islam - especially if its going to hit the media
and if you know that its a sensitive area, and you still decide to put your head in the lions mouth etc etc.. read my prev post etc

We should expect that in a nation where free speech is paramount, people would follow the law and not threaten others with death when they exercise their right.

Your freedom ends where my nose begins 
what about where your hearing or vision begins?
