UTAH - A massive wall-painting depicting a Mormon temple in flames along with a catholic monk, police car and a scantily clad woman has sparked a free speech debate in the conservative heavily Mormon Salt Lake City suburb of Cottonwood Heights. The colorful mural painted on a parking lot wall greets customers at the Canyon Inn Restaurant and Lounge. "Art is supposed to be provoking and make people think what is going in the community. I hope it continues to do so," James Stojack, owner of the restaurant, said in an interview. [link]
