Why would anyone destory painting in a khutba!! What is the purpose of that in a Khutba. There is a time and place for everything. As for the ayah of deaf, dumb and blind they will not turn is this directed towards muslims or for obstinate ones!! I am not saying there is no place for emotion but the point is allmost everything these days are highly emotionally charged. Emotion in such cases should be restrained and be directed with a venom in arguments and rebuttle. Not everyone is Umar (RAD) (this seems to have escaped peoples mind) and the audiance is not going out with gun blazing after the khutba. Allahualam
