Foolish and insensitive to mock others' religious beliefs though it is, this bit of nonsense is hardly important and getting all indignant about it is not better.
It was merely part of the absurdly overblown "Opening Ceremony" for an international sports fixture. It is the sports that matter. The opening razzmattazz as a whole is no more significant, really, than the non-athletic "celebrities" who are only There To Be Seen There.
I have no idea what was intended with whatever was actually displayed, but come on, we take the mickey out of all other human activities. The more indignant and pompous they become when satirised or spoofed, the more they deserve it. Why should religions think themselves above that?
Forget the overblown show-business stuff and enjoy the athletics instead!
