Whose idea was this? Angela Merkel? Germans ought to be outraged at this, and demanding that the “Martyr Museum” be shut down. Or have they become so desensitized to jihad terror as Muslim migrants inundate the country that they take this in stride? Merkel is presiding over, and creating the circumstances for, nothing less than the destruction of Germany. If Germany lets this stand, it shows that German authorities have entirely lost their moral compass. This happened before in German history, and six million Jews were murdered. How many people will be murdered this time?
“Fury as ‘martyr Museum’ in Germany includes Paris jihadist who stormed the Bataclan, killing 90 people,” by Sophie Inge, Mailonline, December 4, 2017:
A Berlin art installation dedicated to ‘martyrs’ has prompted outrage by including one of the Paris jihadist attackers alongside the likes of Martin Luther King and Socrates, with the French embassy calling the display ‘deeply shocking’.
Story continues below advertisementThe so-called ‘Martyr Museum’ by a Danish art collective shows the portraits of 20 people throughout history who ‘died for their convictions’ accompanied by short biographies.
The exhibition includes an image of French jihadist Ismael Omar Mostefai, one of three gunmen and suicide bombers who stormed the Bataclan concert venue in Paris in 2015, killing 90 people.
On display next to his portrait is an entrance ticket to the Bataclan.
Also sharing a wall with US civil rights icon King and Greek philosopher Socrates is Mohammed Atta, the pilot who slammed a passenger plane into one of New York’s World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001.
The week long installation by the art group, The Other Eye of the Tiger, was inaugurated last Wednesday at the Kunstquartier Bethanien art centre.
It sparked howls of outrage in German and French media and on social networks.
The French embassy in Berlin expressed ‘consternation’ and said it found the decision to include the attackers ‘deeply shocking’.
‘While keeping in mind our attachment to the freedom of artistic creation, we strongly condemn the confusion here between martyrdom and terrorism,’ it said in a statement.
But the art collective defended the show, saying that it condemned any kind of violence or terrorism and that it was merely taking a wide look at the usage of the term ‘martyr’….
An earlier version of the ‘Martyr Museum’ in Copenhagen in 2016 also caused controversy, with critics filing a police complaint accusing the artists of ‘encouraging terror’.

About a week ago Merkel and UK’s Theresa May criticized President Trump when he showed videos of Muslim violence in European countries. Days later May was a target of potential terrorism. This time she lucked out yet continues to play the political correct fool she and many other European leader are. Imagine how the families of those murdered by this Muslim savage must feel if they find out how he’s being given such an honor. So sickening for sure.The people of Germany have lost their senses if they continue to vote Merkel back into office.

It is likely all about money. Anything to make a buck. Greed raising its head. The only answer to this type of severe misconduct is simply not to go to the exhibit. Of course it is very scary that their are people out there who would post for monsters like the one’s identified in this article. It seems like our world is burning itself down.

Let’s put a picture of MUHAMMAD next to HITLER and say we are doing it for artistic reasons!
“We are merely taking a wide look at the usage of the term TYRANT!”
The exhibit would be gone in seconds!

Here’s an idea to help both the neo-nazis and islam:
Put up an art show (Title: The Greatest Leader Ever !!) with only one picture – the picture of Adolph Hitler
Right below the picture of Adolph Hitler put “ALLAH”
Next to the picture, a table, with two books – Mein Kampf, and Koran

… ‘Martyr Museum’
Rational to die as a martyr, ‘… be martyred ten times (New York WTC jihadi https://quran.com/4/74-76, 8/39 ‘terror’ 8/12-17 attack) because of the dignity he receives (from Allah).”‘ https://sunnah.com/bukhari/56/33-35 https://quran.com/9/111

This is indicative of why Germany is an Islamic State. Placing Matta on this so-called Martyr Museum is spiting in the faces of those horrifically murdered by this mass-murdering, Jihadist scumbag. The loved ones of the victims must respond to this vulgar and malignant display, along with everyone with principles and sense of civility. This fetid display is supposedly an act of artistic creation; this is a a pile you-know.
Germans should be ashamed; however, most are Merkle’s leftist, wannabe jihadist have their heads set deeply into their favorite orifice while reading the Qur’an. One cannot legally deny the Holocaust in Germany but they can circumvent it by professing mass-murderers are martyrs. They may as well have included Hitler, Eichmann and every Nazi henchman, mass-murderer as Martyrs. Germany and its sheeple can go to Hell; this is my honest opinion. I know, every German isn’t aware of this gauche museum; however, the older generation deny any awareness that the 6,000, 000 Jews were being slaughtered, either. Feigning ignorance does not cut it in my opinion.

Maybe the one who did this should be forced to look at the autopsy photographs of the Bataclan victims, then hanged.

So? The war memorial museum in Hanoi has former Secretary of State John Kerry’s photo in a place of prominence. You remember, during the Paris Peace Talks to end the Vietnam War he twice met with the enemy North Vietnamese delegation while still a member of the officer corps of the US Naval Reserve, an act defined as treason? These museums have odd tastes, to say the least.

More progressive PC nonsense, insanity? Don’t buy into it, don’t listen to it, read and inform yourselves, make up your own minds, think for yourselves.
May I suggest that the real martyrs were the VICTIMS of the Bataclan, of the 9/11 massacres of thousands of innocent people from many nations.
I do not care for such a display, that in my mind attempts to trivialize tragedies that many of us have not forgotten. We have enough to concern us, to annoy us, to upset us without this trash.

It’s not what you think. You can take the tour on the artists website. They filmed the whole thing. I made a quick review, which takes less time to read than the 1 hour tour video

FFS, What passes for art these day?. Maybe we should all send in Turds to that art gallery declaring them as sphincter martyrs to Western food… They’d probably think this was INSPIRATIONAL
