An article on the canceling of an Opera in Berlin written by Mozart (scene added by someone else) because it portrayed Muhammad... Not to mention the heads of many other gods and prophets including Jesus...But it isn't Jesus or Buddha they are worried about... |
Hang on a sec this isnt a case of PCer's attacking Mozart at all...

The disputed scene is not part of Mozart’s original staging of the 225-year-old opera, but was an addition of Neuenfels’ production, which was last performed by the company in March 2004.

What you have is a case of artistic license vs security.
I tend to find these arguments on promoting free speech and stamping out PC kind of amusing because in every case it is the same people spouting on about how ludicrous it is and how the right to free speech is paramount and yet the very same people are present in other threads (ie people protesting the war etc.) complaining that these people shouldnt be protesting and if they were there they would be sorting out the protesters.
For example take 5.56's views above he manages to be on both sides of a fence at once.
So which is it guys free speech tempered with PC or some form of police state where you only have the right to agree with the majority or who ever is in charge?
