I disagree. Even countries with freedom of speech (which are fewer than you'd think) still have libel laws. Most artworks like this are done primarily to be controversial, rather than for any real artistic merit.
Back in 1999, the photographer Andres Serrano had an exhibition here in Melbourne that was controversial because he had a photo of a crucifix floating in urine. I, like most people, couldn't see what the big fuss was about until a very wise teacher suggested that I imagine it happening to something I care about. And, truthfully, I wouldn't want to see someone take a photo of a torah scroll bathed in urine. I probably wouldn't have a problem with a chocolate torah scroll but I certainly wouldn't call it art.
So I would suggest that people think before they make their decision and try to walk a mile in other people's shoes.
