A Forum for Madonna at The Forum

Quoting – I assure you word for word - today’s Los Angeles Times on Madonna’s performance at the Forum in Inglewood:

“… singing her song ‘Holy Water’ as several women dressed in nun’s wimples pole-danced on a number of metal crosses.”

AND

“… the singer simulated oral sex atop a long table decorated to evoke the Last Supper.”

Now, we all know I’m agnostic and a huge believer in freedom and am the first to say when people take offence “I’m offended that you’re offended, so now we’re even.” My question is merely an attempt to delineate the difference between two particular religions. In the above two examples, Madonna – I’ll politely say – “uses” venerated Christian icons as part of her performance. The question is: would she be willing to do this with Islamic icons? And if not, why not?
