I think it fear on behalf of the Opera director. Will every work ever written or composed have to be scoured for references to Mohammed?? and if a reference is found, who says whether it can be shown or not? The imams?

Nothing would have happened if that Opera was shown. Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing.

EDIT: I hope the Muslim community, however moderate doen't start warming up to the fact that they can control what people can show just by complaining that it offends their sensibilities and Religion.
I think it is political correctness to the point of lunacy. Unfortunately, the image most vividly remembered from the infamous cartoon incident, is that of an angry flag-burning mob. So I guess that the illusion that one can actually appease far away fascist fundamentalists counts as political correctness these days. It's a shame.


Oh man, I hope Al-Qaeda won't read this post.
