Move through the history of mankind, you find that an artist is always an outsider, a non-conformist, a rebel. He forces society to look at itself and come to terms with its thoughts. People are scared of facing such thoughts, and this kind of mass lynching of the artist is an effort to purge themselves of all such disconcerting sub-conscious processes. We hate most in other people what we recognize as hateful in ourselves, it scares us and we attack the creator.

OH ...how I hate that word intolerance. Add words like 'religion' and 'culture' to it and it infuriates me to no end.
Moral policing....don't even get me started on that.
I am not too sure if the (only) reason is as innocent as people's hateful sub-conscious and their insecurities.
Actually at some level I hope it were that easy to explain...but my mind screams..'politics'.
