Som i Sverige så roder man også med tegninger om "hellige" personer i
Australien:
Pattenden did not expect controversy to result from the exhibition
"because the Christian community doesn't look at art a great deal".
He said the Virgin statue embodied "iconic representations of two
different religious traditions".
"He (Sullivan) is making a comment about gender in a religion
dominated by men."
Sullivan also defended his work.
"It poses the question of what's the future of religion," he said.
"They (religions) are hegemonic in their nature. They can be all-
encompassing and powerful."
Queensland artist Bracks, the creator of the Christ-like Osama, said
she hoped some viewers might see this as a juxtaposition of good and
evil.
"I'm interested in having a discussion, and asking questions about how
we think about our world and what we accept, and what we don't
accept."

Following the Danish cartoons crisis, Muslim scholars, priests and
rabbis have called for a UN Security Council resolution criminalizing
blasphemy.

Hvad mon man ellers kunne kriminalisere?
Jeg så forresten i går, at anmeldelsen om de forkerte sutsko i Århus, var
indgivet af en libanesisk kristen, - så giver det mere mening, hvem ville
det ellers geere at gå med flotte maria- eller jesus sko?
Langsomt men sikkert får vi de tilbagestående landes religiøse holdninger
indkorporeret i dansk kultur.
