The photograph of Marilyn Monroe with skirt blown up from the movie "The Seven Year Itch" is one of the most well-known images of the movie goddess. In a painting after this image, Max Emadi captures an Islamic woman in traditional dress and veil in front of the mosque with her dress blown up exposing her legs.

That is so disrespectful and NOT art.
The veil was not only worn by Muslims but also by the jewish and the Christians so not only are you disrespecting Islam, but also other religions too.

Why is it when the Jewish and Christians do something its fine, but is deemed bad when Muslims do it. You people have a habit of trying to taint everything that tries to be pure and good.

This artwork has no nobility and should be burnt.
