My apologies about the misnamed artist.

And I'll even agree that you are right in that I do not know that Serrano had a goal of being offensive. However, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it would be taken that way by a lot of people, especially naming it as he did.

So that aside, my question still stands....if ashes of a burned Quran were displayed as "art", would that be acceptable? We could even name it something like "The Ashes of 9/11", signifying the damage that the Islamic radicals had brought to Islam. You might be sick of "what ifs", but I am wondering where the line is about what is right and wrong here.
