    no plagiarism issue or respect for copyright either? the burka woman, for instance is Makkan Emadi’s work.

    Secondly, like it mentions in the article in the magazine; the artist wants people to get offended or stir up emotions in them, at the very least.

    So that does what? Say, people take offence for the burka woman image. It also gets covered up the next day. So really, HOW does it help society, again??

    I just feel doing the controversial has become the latest trend, just for controversy’s sake.

    I love it, however, protesting this way against our stubborn Govt. wouldn’t be effective.

    who will be held responsible for the damage to the property whether it’s govt or private? this is certainly not Islam.

    Excellent. “Think Twice Pakistan” also has an amazing collection of dramas about such inspirational heroes….

    Holding exhibition of this great art work in a suitable place would be a better idea than to damage public or private property.
