I disagree. Islamic art can be studied while still being sensitive to Islamic law.
You are trying to allude to free market systems to determine how a course evolves. Except there arent various forms of the same Islamic art class being offered at the school where a student can choose with money and choice which variation should be supported.
At some point, free market does not effeciently allow for the evolution of systems when choices are simply binary, like voting. In binary systems, participation and communication is key. And that is exactly what occurred here.
- defrost 4y ago> Islamic art can be studied while still being sensitive to Islamic law. Which version of Islam and which Islamic laws though? I assume the point of showing the specific image in question, sourced from the Jami' al-tawarikh, was to point out that here was an historic and significant Islamic history text commissioned by an Islamic state that contained .. ( <gasp>, <shock>, <horror> ) an image of Muhammad. This is what happens in history classes, I hope somewhere a similar class is being taught that sainted Catholic nuns once prepared and admistered abortifacients (substances used to terminate pregnancy) as an example of the changing nature of religuous views and morals.
