What? The article isn't discussing the question of whether the Mohammed images from Hamline are offensive, it's about the unholy confluence of liberal wokeness and conservative political agenda. So the absence of imagery is fine.
But anyone who argues that these illustrations are in fact offensive argues that the artists and those who commissioned those artworks were apostates and renegades, and there is no evidence whatsoever of that.
- eternalban 4y agoThey did provide the link. The image is apparently from a period predating the time when the current consensus that disallows depiction of the Prophet originated. Back then it was ok; now it isn’t. Were The Guardian to print the image, it could be construed by some interested party (of various possible affiliations) as a willful act intended to cause offense. For precedent predating our current excessively charged social environment, the film The Message (1976), starring Anthony Quinn, does not show his person at all. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074896 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074896
