Gilbert and George fight back - with gay religious art
At one end of Gilbert and George's street in the East London suburb of Spitalfields is a mosque; at the other, a church. Their home features a front door of plain board, the original pushed in last year by local Muslim youths. And now the artists are fighting back - with a series of pictures questioning religion. The new "Sonofagod Pictures" have subtitles like, "Was Jesus Heterosexual?" with "Jesus Says Forgive Yourself" written atop the largest. Two crucified figures dominate the page surrounded by objects which, on closer examination, turn out to be crucifixes. Gilbert Proesch and George Passmore appear in their work (as they usually do) near the bottom looking like two bank managers with halos, and beneath them the inscription: "God Loves F---ing! Enjoy."

So what is different here.
The door was kicked in by Muslim Youths and these clowns attack the Christian Church.
Christians are the most bashed religions around. These guys haven't forgotten their teachings as youths of turning the other cheek. Yeah right! These guys wouldn't dare swing at the Muslims for fear of Islamic Fundamentalists using their heads for bowlingballs.
No guts no gay-lory guys.
Swing towards the fools that damaged your goods and see how long you'd survive in your neighborhood. (Kind of like placing a copy of the cartoons on your lawn. You'd never do it cause yer chicken shit.)
