> Marvel Comics recently fired an illustrator for hiding Islamist, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian references in his art. His ideas were "normal" in his country - should that have been ignored? Reprimanded as long as he kept his politics out of his art?

Indonesian here, I'm not sure to what you attribute it to a normal view by Indonesians?

Sorry, not "normal" but "common" as in "not rare". 100,000 people out protesting Ahok is a pretty firm sign that the artist is part of a large movement, even if his viewpoint is in the minority.
Yes, certainly not a normal nor common view, but as you said, a lot of people seems to share it.
