The Times of London reporting that an opera has been cancelled in Germany because of fears it will offend Muslims.
In the opera, Mozart’s Idomeneo, the King of Crete of displays the severed heads of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and Poseidon, and declares "the gods are dead."
The decision has unleashed a storm of controversy about free expression in German, but one viewpoint has been missing from the discussion.
Apparently, it's okay to offend Christians, Buddhists and...uh...whatever it is you call people who worship Poseidon.
But not Muslims.
Nice. Neat!
