When in Muslim countries, non-Muslims should conform their behavior to Muslim sensibilities. When in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims should conform their behavior to Islamic sensibilities. That is the dictum that Western authorities increasingly follow.
“Italy covers up naked statues and bans wine for visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani,” by Umberto Bacchi, International Business Times, January 25, 2016:
Italian authorities covered up naked statues exhibited at a world-famous museum in Rome for an official visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a decision that has caused a stir in the country.
Rouhani toured the Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums) – which hosts a huge collection of artefacts from the ancient, medieval and renaissance periods – accompanied by Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on 25 January.
However, the Iranian leader could not admire some of the museum’s masterpieces, as all marbles depicting naked scenes had been carefully hid behind large white panels.
The vast censorship effort was reportedly implemented as a show of respect to the reformist president, out of fears that the exposed private parts of ancient Roman gods could offend Iranian sensitivity. Wine was also banned from official receptions.
The move angered many Italians, who have accused authorities of betraying the country’s cultural heritage in the name of political correctness and business interests. Hundreds of people voiced their displeasure online, with some posting photos of unclothed icons online under the hashtag ‘statuenude’ (naked statues) in protest.
The Capitoline Museums, located on the iconic Capitoline hill, are managed by the local council. However, a spokesperson said all aspects of Rouhani’s visit were attended to by the government. IBTimes UK asked Renzi’s office for comment but had received no reply at the time of publishing….

As I said in another thread, with this year’s Draw Muhammad contest, I would suggest that Donald Trump be very publicly and formally invited to see what sort of response you get. I can’t predict what he’ll do or say, but it will draw a lot publicity to the event.
Now, Chabuco, here is a thought experiment for you. Take Donald Trump’s statement and insert Jesus in place of Muhammad. Is it okay for him to say what he said, now? If there were a draw Jesus and make fun of him contest, do you think that Donald Trump’s statement would be exactly the same? Would it be okay for him to object in exactly the same way? And if you don’t think that there really would be a potential threat from such a Jesus Cartoon contest, then you are forgetting about a whole lot of nutcases with guns out there — ask Larry Flint. If somebody objects to a contest to make fun of religious figures, they have the right to do so. What they don’t have the right to do is try to pass legislation or approve of legislation that makes it in any way illegal — like Hillary Clinton is fully prepared to do.

……………………..
That’s right–crazed Christians murdered the artists who created the Piss Christ and the Dung Madonna, blew up the galleries displaying these works, and slaughtered the museum-goers.
Except, of course, that they *didn’t*.
Don McKellar says
Or like the guy who shot Larry Flint for putting a Jesus cartoon on the back of his magazine…
There’s more than half a dozen more recent nutcases with guns and bombs calling themselves Christians who killed many innocent people because they felt offended, gravenimage. Scott Roeder, Shelly Shannon, Jim David Adkisson, the Army of God including Paul Jennings Hill, Eric Rudolph, James Charles Kopp, John C. Salvi — these are all names to Google if you want learn more.
That’s CLEARLY enough to make anybody realize that there is indeed a potential threat out there. But the difference is clear between them and moslems — the Christian killers were doing it because a screwed up philosophy they concocted themselves in their mad brains. With moslems, they are following direct orders in the Koran and the examples in the hadiths.
Atheist7 says
Don, True. There are a lot of crazy people out there who might try to do you harm. Some time ago, a German pilot few his airliner into a mountain. He was insane. Tragic. Then there was 911. Here, death was caused by the philosophy of the religion of peace. More tragic.
All religions are not the same. To capture the feeling of the messages, we can make the following oversimplifications: Jesus says “forgive your enemies”. Mohammad says “kill them – by hook or by crook”

My wife and I are devout, fundamentalist atheists – 7 on the Richard Dawkins scale. We love Christmas with the pretty lights and songs as well as ancient statues and churches of all types. They are glorious structures. I have alcohol two or perhaps three times a year. I have port on rare occasions – being about 99% vegetarian – and I don’t any anyone telling me that I cannot have it ever. I photograph road races (5K, 5M, 10K, half marathon, and marathon). In the summer I photograph men and women running in shorts. The women have their legs and hair exposed – and they are not accompanied by a male relative. I believe that men and women should have equal rights and that a person should be allowed to express opinions without fear of punishment. I like the principles upon which our country was founded – but I am not happy with the direction that our country is going. I am a retired Ph.D. research chemist – so I consider Faith to be a sin and not a virtue. Atheists can live in peace with Jews and Christians (as long as you keep your theology out of my Science classroom) but Islam – by the nature of its doctrine – is incompatible with scientific thought. Jews win Noble Prizes. Muslims (with very few exceptions) do not. If we want to retain our freedoms and if we want Science to proceed, then we must somehow find a way to stop Islamization.
Christianblood says
Atheist7
You can’t stop islam with a ‘devout, fundamentalist’ atheism. If you are a chemist consider this ancient “Alchemy” path and you may be enlightened concerning theism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJZFeIPoswY
Atheist7 says
Christianblood, I tried to check out your video on Alchemy and got this: “This video contains content from LuxorMedia. It is not available in your country”. True, Atheism cannot stop Islamization; however, perhaps if many groups from different persuasions could work together, then we might be able to at least slow it down.
PRCS says
Religion aside, Islam is antithetical to the very concept of democracy and is incompatible with the U..S. Constitution and the laws which flow from it.
So, If we want to retain our freedoms, then we must, first, somehow find a way to do what our politicians and “journalists” are refusing to do: make our fellow kuffar aware of the specific Qur’an passages which drive Islam’s hatred of others and its global jihad against them, and challenge Muslims in America to denounce and renounce those passages.
Katnis says
@Athiest7 –
Agreeing with your comment that Atheists, Jews, Christians, Catholics, Hindus, Pagans, Agnostics… You name it… can all live side by side in the classroom, in the workplace, and in society in general. I work in technology and I see it every day. Adding a muslim to the mix immediately introduces a problem with pretty much everything, down to the very basics.
Also agreeing with your follow up comment, “Perhaps if many groups from different persuasions could work together, then we might be able to at least slow it down.” Adding that I believe together we could stop it altogether.
This is why defending our values is so important. We are bound by these values. It is our common thread. If you want to be atheist, you can be atheist. If I want to be Catholic, I can be Catholic. Don’t tell me what to believe, and I’m not going to tell you what to believe. We’re both OK with that. None of these religious (or non-religious) groups listed above are pressing to have their values overtake the constitution and “fundamentally” change this country… EXCEPT for muslims.

Don, it has been noted before that you are merely a rather nasty anti-religious bigot, and I have in past and will continue to refer to you as a low church atheist bigot, as it perfectly describes your rants against belief systems other than your own. It took muslims, on average, five centuries to murder as many people as atheists did in one, so you really should refrain from your self righteous posturing.
Don McKellar says
They must desperately want a piece of that $150 billion that Barry Hussein Obama just bestowed on Iran. I’m sure the Pope was informed and nodded with approval and then called up the people at the Sistine Chapel and made sure they were ready with some tarps just in case this superior moslem wanted to visit there, too.

Atheist7 says
Once Egypt and Turkey were Christian Nations. Then Islam invaded and gradually the culture of those countries was converted to that of Islam. That conversion is demanded by the Koran. Islam does not merge with the culture it invades. It destroys that culture. For this reason, the true history of Islam must be taught in our schools and the purchasing of the Departments of Religion in our Universities by oil-rich Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia must be exposed.
MM says
Well, if you don’t have balls anymore, it’s better to cover that part of your body. 😉
Sam says
This is huge. It looks like a nice gesture initially but speaks volumes about the ignorance of Europe and the stupidity the message carries to the cult members of Islam. I can not feel sorry for Europe anymore. They deserve Islam.

If Muslims took over Rome, they would demolish 90% of it.
Muslims are mostly barbarians pretending to be civilized.
Atheist7 says
True and True Mortimer. Muslims are required to destroy anything that is non-Islamic. History must be destroyed. We submit because we live in fear. You must tread very lightly or you might offend Islam. Then you would have to be severely punished. How much punishment depends on where you live and how much punishment they think that they can get away with. This is not how civilized people operate. But it is how Islam has operated since it was created.

Atheist7 says
True, MZ, but Muslim Men get uncontrollably excited whenever they see female body parts that are not covered with a Burka. So if they see a marble statue of a naked infidel pagan women, and they try to have sex with it – well – it could hurt a lot.
Karen says
Well, covering up the statues is a start, but what about all the portraits of individuals and animals? Won’t those encourage idolatry? We wouldn’t want the Iranian delegation creating a golden calf or something. Let’s see, that leaves pottery, mummies, and jewelry. Oops, those mummy wrappings are a bit tight and revealing, so forgot those….or dear, the pottery was made by ancient Israelites, so there’s a BDS sanction against it…..
Katnis says
Moving and covering art work is expensive and time-consuming for the museum. As most museum’s are non-profit, covering art work goes against their mission to educate the masses, make artwork accessible, and celebrate culture and history through time.
The curators were willing to sacrifice their mission for one, backwards man who leads a country that encourages murder, rape, inequality, harsh punishment, and child molestation? WHY? And who paid for it? Certainly not the murdering, oppressive, molesting visitor. The ITALIANS paid for it. The VISITORS paid for it. The MUSEUM paid for it.
Shame, shame, shame…

And they paid for it in more ways than one—their loss of integrity and dignity and pride in their heritage.

These dhimmis could have just converted to Islam to avoid “offending” this Muslim thug, as well.
And why were they showing him around *a museum*, in any case? It is not just depictions of nudes that offend Muslims, but human and even animal figures, as well as anything that exemplifies “Jahillya”, or the “pre-Islamic period of ignorance”.
I suppose they were just giving him a preview of what his coreligionists in Italy can get ready to destroy…
Voytek Gagalka says
Will Iranian government reciprocally suspend sharia components during nearest visit of President of Italy in Tehran, allowing among others displaying crosses, suspending requirement of hijab and burka for women, opening bars with alcoholic beverages, etc.?

As for the wine they should serve it Rouhani doesn’t drink it but he should see how Italians dine and celebrate. He’s got to learn about Western culture, if he wants tom business with Westerners The money he makes will go into funding terrorism anyway.
Matthieu Baudin says
Let me guess; the poor soul has never looked at himself in the mirror before or made love with his wife. Perhaps it would have been easier to have just led him around Rome blindfolded?

Richard P, Sweden says
The pope will visit Sweden. (Not in war for 200 years). Officicially in order to celebrate a peaceagreement between the Protestant and the Catholic church.
He has praised Sweden for accepting so many immigrants. So other dignitaires use to do from other countries. Mosques being built the one after the other. Swedish authorities being very proud of the praise.
Argentina and South America hasn´t anything like Sweden and Europe regarding the number of immigrants. Not even Northern America and Canada have.
I don´t know whether in America or Canada or otherwise You become an outcast and risks to loose Your job, Your carrier, friends, journalists come knocking on your door and windows to Your home being smashed in and worse if You dare to criticize islamization openly?
Do Your antiracist opponents through burning materials in Your briefcase, write ” here lives a racist”
” we know where you live” and “working class fight” on the walls to your house and around it?
Are You being hindered from being a member and threwn out of your union if you are active in a party that is against islamization? Being told You have not got the proper human fundamental values.
Sound like a dictatorship, doesn´t it?
Well in Sweden it is like that. Although there was no war since 1813. When a 25.000 army took part against Napoleon in Leipzig. It is never mentioned in school for some reason. A child saw the statue of the king taking part in the war, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, and asked if there was war then? The teacher did not answer.
We are very ashamed of the wars in the 18th century and before. As well as for not taking part in neither the First or the second World Wars.
Now the question is whether Sweden will become the first Islamic state in Europe. We don´t talk about that either. Not officially any way. Absolutely not.
I really do hope there will be no war in our time.
Atheist7 says
Richard PS, I had no idea things were so bad in Sweden. Bad – but not that bad. Evidently, you can be punished for improper thinking. Political correctness is enforced. This is tyranny.
How did this come about? Can we establish a chronology of Islamization?
Richard P, Sweden says
Atheist7. Hi, Thanks for answer.
Hard to understand why. Cannot myself understand. Yes it is quite bad. The future is dark. Government wants to spread those arriving from Syria and other islamic states to other countries in Europe. Has decided the “refugees” have to have passport for example. That reduced the influx into some 10.000 a week into some 1.500-2000. But is still high. Might increase to all time high again. Use to be record every year.
Seven parities that agree behind. The Socialdemocrats and the Moderates (Moderaterna the biggest with som 32% and 23% each) One in opposition Sweden Democrats Grown from 1,7 % into 12,8% election 2014. Reached 28,8% as most in opinion lately. Changes between some 19%, 22%and 28%. No single party with own majority. Need to divide between coalition partners. Now Socialdemocrats and the Miljöpartiet (The Green party)
Government of 2006-2014 decided to let in 500.000 2010-2014. This decided 500.000 more 1914-1918. Even more came the last months than planned. Goes on and on.
Do not know of any reliable chronology. Indeed needed. Ther ought to be one. Use to read wikipedia.org, Statistics Sweden (scb.se), features.pewforum.org, international and national press Gatestone community and other.
A little information as to my knowledge:
1969 Statens Invandringsverk (The migration bureau of the State)
1975 proposition 1975:26 stating Sweden is to become a multicultural society
1990-1991 The EU Dublin Convention
1991 ( so called “luciadecision ) only to allow refugees according to the UN charter.
1997 The 1991 “luciadecision dissolved. SOU:1996:55 Not the history but the connection to the country as ground of membership.
2000 Migrationsverket (Migration Authority )established. The former Statens Invandringsverk of 1969.
2010 Decision without discussion that Sweden as a matter of fact in reality is a multicultural state. Not to what degree. 10%, 20% or more?
Goals Equality: Equal right for all to get the same social support.
Freedom of choice: Right to establish and to live according to the religion of Your own choice.
Solidarity: Swedes have to accept multiculture (mångfald, variety). Without any discussion.
Number of muslims 1990 147.000 1,7% 2010 451.000 4,9%. 2030 9,9%. (Pewforum.org.)
Could be more. There is no statistics about religion allowed in Sweden. Must rely on others. Statistics differ. As to my knowledge.

Atheist7 says
Richard, In the very early days of the United States, the settlers from Europe came to America and in the early winters they did not do very well. The settlers were effectively starving refugees. Without the help of the American Indians the refugees from Europe would have died. Now, many years later, what do we see of the Native culture? Well, nothing except a few Gambling Casinos. Their culture is gone, it has been replaced by the culture of the Europeans – and culture eradication is not even the European plan. Not so with Islam. It is the duty of all Muslims to spread Sharia Law however they can.
In Sweden, I would expect that the Muslims will come in, they will start reproducing, few will have skills – so they have to go on welfare, they can have more than one wife – so the multiple wives go on welfare also, and the Muslim population will grow and grow and grow. The Swedish people will be effectively financing the expansion of the Muslim population at the expense of their own children. Sort of like making you dig your own grave, shooting you, and then requiring that even though you are dead, you have the responsibility to fill in the grave.
Multiculturalism? That is a sick joke. Many religions do multiculturalism – Christians, Jews, Atheists, Buddhists, and on occasions, even Baptists. Muslims do not do Multiculturalism. They stand apart from the others and try to take over. To Muslims, all Muslims are superior to non-Muslims and nothing can change that attitude as it is mandated by their doctrine.
Sorry to be so negative, but that is the way I see it. We must recognize that Islam is a disease of the mind and try to learn as much about its spread as possible in an attempt to stop it.
Robert Spencer is good, but I also like videos by Bill Warner. Bill is old and gruff, and has a very logical presentation. Perhaps you could get some of his videos in Sweden; however, they might be blocked as they are not very friendly to Islam. Try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y

There is some amoebic brain infection or uncontrolled syphalls turning the brains of a certain segment of the ruling or controlling class into Swiss Cheese! It isn’t meaningless, a joke, or otherwise jest that there is an old axiom: ‘when in Rome do as the Romans do’. The more we capitulate or bow before the Persians the more embolden they become and the more likelihood of a miscalculation on their part that the West will not take up Arms , unreservedly for what it perceives is its core values and/or vital interests. It won’t matter if it”s pre or post-Nuke, ask the Russians or Chinese.
kilfincelt says
If Europeans permit even more Muslims to enter their countries, they won’t have to cover up statues as the Muslims will destroy them along with many paintings by the “Masters”. Some Europeans are beginning to realize that they have a civilization worth fighting for and not standing up to these invaders is no longer an option.
Carolyne says
This has nothing whatsoever to do with Donald Trump. Those of you who made comments trying to ridicule him about this miss the point entirely. The point is: The Italian government covered ancient masterpieces which are treasures of the world, to satisfy the sociopathic sensibilities of a Muslim, and did so in their own country. Why do some of you have to bring American politicians into this disgrace, for which they have no responsibility and likely abhor? Is that the only thing which concerns you? That Donald Trump exists? You would do better reminding yourself that you and your families presently exist and will not exist if we do not stop appeasing mentally ill Muslims. If Iran gets a nuclear bomb, and of course the recent treaty assures that they will, our problems will be much larger than finding opportunities to demean Donald Trump.

Beginning with Pope Francis and his pandering ignorance & this one http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/italyandthecitystates/a/The-Borgias.htm . I as a Christian first am very disgusted with the Roman Catholic Church for not standing up for Christ & their History.
