Mozart to be banned in Europe?

[LordJezo]

<p>Maybe not yet but this looks like it could be the start.</p><p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060926/stage_nm/germany_opera_dc_2" target="_self">German opera house shuts own Mozart opera because it offends some Muslims.&nbsp;</a></p><p>I wonder what's next.&nbsp;</p>

[A.J.]

<p>In the production, directed by Hans Neuenfels, King Idomeneo is shown staggering on stage next to the severed heads of Buddha, Jesus, Poseidon and the Prophet Mohammad, which sit on chairs.</p><p>I guess Asians, Christians and Greeks might go jihadist too.</p>

Mozart is dead to me.&nbsp; <em>Dead!</em><br />

Man, the world is fucking self-destructing.&nbsp;

Does that mean that guy is out of luck?<br><p>
It won't be long before they start cracking down on "insensitive" brands of speech in places like Germany. You watch. Fuck that.
