I mean, they're also pro-palestine. Like i said in another comment, they mostly just seem like libs. Christianity had its reformation and eventual 'softening' under liberal tolerance, it shouldn't be surprising that Islam does too.

Gonna admit my biases here though - I think religion is a largely reactionary institution and the world would be a lot better with less of it.

That being said,

That's not going to happen overnight and I fully support creating effective spaces for inter-cultural dialogue and learning that are respectful. That kind of seems like the best possible thing we could hope for, and an effective way to combat reactionary dogma of all colors and creeds, both islamaphobes and religious adherents. This Art History course and the context within which it was presented are as close to that as one can reasonably ask for. That seems like a good thing, actually.

What better way to change the context in which something is (re)displayed than to... You know... Put it in a better and respectful context? I'm not out here denying that images of Mohamed have been used as a cudgel in the culture wars, but this ain't that.
