A city councilor in Switzerland has apologized after she fired a sporting pistol at an auction poster of a 14th-century Madonna and child painting and posted images of their bullet-ridden faces on social media.

"Green-Liberal party official Sanija Ameti, 32, put the images on Instagram over the weekend before quickly pulling them down. She later said she had been practicing shots from about 10 meters (33 feet) and found the poster as “big enough” for a suitable target. "

and of course, because catholics would never behave like freedom hating barbaric Muslim shakira law enjoyers…

“Kath.ch, a site of the media center for the Roman Catholic Church in Switzerland, said Swiss bishops condemned the shooting, saying that “this hurts the religious sensibilities of many Catholics.” The site said Ameti had reached out by email to say she and her family “placed themselves under police protection due to threats.””

    I don’t understand posting it only to fold immediately

    Apparently she didn’t even realize that what she was shooting at might be controversial. It wasn’t supposed to be a statement.

      I find it hard to believe she didn’t know it was a religious work but also I don’t know her so I can accept she might be telling the truth
