Anti-ISIS artwork banned from free-speech exhibit
Police demand $55,000 more for security if 'potentially inflammatory content' shown
Published: 11 hours ago

(London Guardian) Visitors to a London exhibition celebrating freedom of expression this week found plenty of familiar taboo-busting work, from Jamie McCartney’s The Great Wall of Vagina, an eight-foot long cast featuring the genitals of 400 women, to Kubra Khademi’s video of an eight-minute walk she made through Kabul in Afganistan, dressed in lushly contoured body armour. But they will have looked in vain for one work detailed in the catalogue by an artist known only as Mimsy.

ISIS Threaten Sylvania is a series of seven satirical light box tableaux featuring the children’s toys Sylvanian Families. It was removed from the Passion for Freedom exhibition at the Mall galleries after police raised concerns about the “potentially inflammatory content” of the work, informing the organisers that, if they went ahead with their plans to display it, they would have to pay £36,000 for security for the six-day show.

When did the West become so afraid of the truth?

When the West no longer was willing to "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

The west is more willing to "pay any price" for Social Security and Medicare, now.

Right_in_Virginia laments above:
[[ When did the West become so afraid of the truth? ]]

When we became afraid.

Afraid to believe that our culture was superior.
Afraid to believe in protecting our values.
Afraid to believe in protecting our racial heritage.
Afraid to purge from our society those who would destroy it.
Afraid to use the military power we have devised to shepherd the rest of the world.
Afraid to realize that by our unwillingness to do any of this, that we have created a vacuum into which will rush the elements that will in time destroy us.

Afraid that by speaking out, we will be railed as racists, homophobes, xenophones, bigots, haters, and whatever other marxist-driven terms you wish to use.

In such circumstances, truth gets tossed by the wayside in short order.
