Not really, as I have said before, they both have that shock value,
regardless of the debate aspects of both subjects. I was shocked when I saw
both, actually.

Well, there has been a lot of discussion about what is art or not here and
elsewhere, but I think they qualify under LEGO creations that are controversial.

Dan is a great builder, and it was a neat picture, with the shock value
thrown in. I guess you can look at in this way, that the Holocaust sets were
made, and the Jihad sets were going to be made, but cancelled. I am unusure
why it is misspelled, but I will let Dan expand on that subject, he is the
one who made up the picture. : )
I hope I have not upset anyone, I just threw in my .02 in build, since it
was there.
