This is obviously getting a little bit away from the art, but I'd love to hear some examples. The only instances of "Christianity under attack" I've come across from USA is when state support for Christianity is withdrawn after a law suit - i.e. when some special privilege that is against your constitution is ruled to be unlawful.

I'm not sure what the art shows - the best on-line pictures aren't exactly high-res. But I think the panel you refer to couldn't possibly be jesus - not unless s/he's undergone a male to female sex change operation. But I can't read the text.

But.... whatever. Is it relevant what it shows? Was her response proportionate? This time she only attacked the artwork. Will she go for the artist next time?
