Spanish Artist Receives Threats After Eating Koran
Islam Vs Europe
The Navarran artist Abel Azcona, international exponent of performance art, is receiving threats because of his work “Eating a Koran”, in which he eats pages from the book sacred to Muslims.
The piece forms part of an invetigation project initiated during a residency on the topic of religious fundamentalism and the need to “nourish ourselves with fiction, lies and fear”. Specifically, this project consists of an installation, a performance and a video work, in which the artist eats a copy of the Koran over eight hours as a critique of religious radicalism. “I believe in freedom of expression, provocation and artistic freedom, and I will certainly continue doing so today, tomorrow and always,” comments Abel Azcona, who has been threated by anonymous letters, emails and SMS.

How often will obuma and his ilk blame the deaths of Americans on this? Even though Bengazzi did not work out, they are not smart enough to learn from past mistakes.

He didn’t “eat” it, per se. He translated back into the original language.

@ thirdtwin -
“He translated back into the original language.”
Couldn’t have said it better.

Ironically, the “end result” actually made sense!

Well, so far he’s the only “artiste” who has the guts to give the finger to the musselmen.

@Navy Squid, my thoughts too.
If the guy glues pages of the koran all over his body, will that keep him from being shot or stabbed by one of the peaceful believers of islam?
Good question to post at askamullah-dot-comm, no?

Two things:
1. Kudos to him for sticking it to islam.
2. I hope he dies cause that’s not art. He’s stupid.
