At the Olympic Opening Ceremony in Paris 2024 - in front of the entire world - they staged a deliberate mockery of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper.
One of the most sacred images in Christianity.
Jesus and his disciples replaced by drag performers and near-naked dancers.
The world’s most watched event. Broadcast to billions.
And the response from the media, the politicians and the cultural establishment?
Applause. Defence. “It’s art.” “It’s inclusion.” “Don’t be so sensitive.”
Now let me ask one question.
What would have happened if they had done the same with Islam?
If they had placed performers dressed as the Prophet Muhammad at a table. If they had staged a mockery of Ramadan. If they had used the most sacred imagery of 1.8 billion Muslims as a backdrop for drag and nudity.
We all know the answer.
There would have been no applause. No defence of artistic freedom. No “don’t be so sensitive.”
There would have been international outrage.
Emergency UN meetings. Apologies from heads of state. Very likely violence in multiple cities. And every major media outlet would have led with the story for weeks…not to defend the artists, but to condemn them.
But Christianity?
Christianity can be mocked on the world stage and it is called progress.
This is not about whether you are religious. This is about a double standard so enormous and so blatant that only wilful blindness can explain it.
One religion is protected. One is fair game.
And the one that is fair game - built the civilization that gave the world the Olympic Games, freedom of expression and the very stage they used to mock it.
Think about that.
