quote [ Ms Namazie said that "After my talk began, ISOC 'brothers' started coming into the room, repeatedly banging the door, falling on the floor, heckling me, playing on their phones, shouting out, and creating a climate of intimidation in order to try and prevent me from speaking."
The hecklers were asked repeatedly to be quiet and told by organisers that there would be an opportunity to ask questions or make comments at the end. The Muslim hecklers repeatedly interrupted the early part of the talk, shouting "safe space" and laughing. ] "Safe space", my ass.
Oh, and if you think no sane person could applaud what the Islamic society did, here's what the Goldsmiths Feminists had to say about it.

That's likely the reasoning behind disallowing graven images and idols, actually.

Many people in the old days could not read, but they could certainly see things with their own two eyes. Truly fundamentalist religious persons (of the Abrahamic variety, anyway) avoid abstract thought outside of religious context (and even then, the only abstraction is on god, afterlife, etc.)
A graven image can be pointed to, an idol can be said to physically exist. They are not abstract in that sense. Destroying them turns them into abstractions again, and thus ignorable.
