Sarah Maple’s exhibition poses questions that anger Muslims

Read it.
The artist, who has shown at Ronnie Wood’s Scream gallery, has a new exhibition with a headline picture showing a Muslim woman cradling a pig.
I’m curious as to how one can tell, at sight, that it’s “a Muslim woman”. Since it’s “cradling a pig”, I strongly suggest that it is not, in fact, “a Muslim woman”.
Maple, 23, who was brought up as a Muslim, has already evoked Islamic wrath. Her exhibition at Rolling Stone Wood’s gallery earlier this year depicted Muslim women in provocative poses, including one suggestively sucking on a banana.
Apparently she just wants to be offensive. Well, Muslims have a way of dealing with that. Unlike Christians, they aren’t a religion of peace.
