What do you guys think about the controversies surrounding artists / writers / poets whose lives have come under threat because they have been accused of hurting "religious sentiments" ?

India is both a secular and a multi-cultural society. Some say the reason we have succeeded as a democracy so far is that we value each other's religious sentiments. Others argue that irrational faith cannot be given more importance than artistic expression.

So should we ensure that religious sentiments are protected by supporting the persecution artists tend to face after such ventures ? Or do we hold that this is merely the price we pay for freedom of expression and support the artists for expressing themselves ?
