It’s pretty obvious that this org is an assimilationist org. I’m not passing judgment because when you live in a violent Islamophobic country like the US, you do what you have to do to not get your mosques firebombed, even if it means being the org that goes, “us Muslims are not all uptight losers like those people.”

This is so deranged lol. I'm not denying they're assimilationist, but all they're saying is that Muslims aren't monolithic. Some people have opinions about their religions without the influence of Americans, you know.

Art is constantly recontexualized and part of that recontexualization comes from when it gets (re)displayed. This is nothing new. It matters little that a Muslim king was cool with it in the 14th century because we don’t live in the 14th century anymore.

Exactly. And so why is it wrong for "offensive" art to be recontextualized in an academic setting?
