I admire the Ambassador even more. He deserves a medal.

We are going to one day have to deal with the fact that militant Islamism is a death cult no different than the crap peddled by Jim Jones in his People's Temple. Would anyone dream of supporting that kind of stuff through art?

Artists have moral responsibilities that transcend their art. It is just as immoral for the Swedish artist to implicitly defend or promote death cults as it was for Riefenstahl to promote Hitler through her stuff.

Once art takes up the job of propaganda it should lose its immunity from protest.

It doesn't lose it because there was no immunity from protest to begin with.
