They Are Winning

I read on CNN yesterday that an opera in Germany was cancelled for fear of offending Muslims . It depicted Mohammeds head on a pole. They seem to have no problem slicing them off but we would not want to offend them

This is a shame but this will lead to more self censorship

Rox on a roll:

German politicians condemned on Tuesday a decision by a Berlin opera house to cancel performances of Mozart's "Idomeneo" over concerns they could enrage Muslims and pose a security risk.

The Deutsche Oper in west Berlin announced on Monday it was replacing four performances of "Idomeneo" scheduled for November with "The Marriage of Figaro."

The decision was taken after Berlin security officials warned that putting on the opera as planned would present an "incalculable security risk" for the establishment.
