A German Opera Being Cancelled

So, the German opera is going to be cancelled because of fear of Muslim reprisal. I have several observations about the whole situation. First, the German opera left out of Moses and Hindu gods. They only had the heads of Poseidon, Jesus, Buddha and the prophet Mohammed. Why choose Poseidon? Would not Zeus be a better choice for a Greek god? He was the leader of the Greek gods.

Two, would it have been easier to just remove Mohammed's head and keep the opera playing. To be fair, they should have removed all the prophets and gods. Although, the opera fans might not have liked that. Then again the braver thing would have not changed anything and kept the opera playing.

Is this how it is going to be? Not doing anything that might make the radical Muslims mad? Are bookstores and libraries not going to have any books critical of the Muslim religion in their buildings like the Satanic Verses? I hope not.

I read on the Internet that some gay Muslim film producers are going to show a film about gay Muslim life in the Muslim countries. Good luck to them. They probably should use fake names or just use anonymous on the credits of the film or they might be persecuted by the radical Muslims. Even killed.
