New Low Notes - 1
TIMEeurope.com: "It is a little-known opera of Mozart's. Idomeneo, King of Crete takes place at the end of the Trojan War and features a proposed human sacrifice and a nasty sea monster. But it was thrust into the world's spotlight when Berlin's Deutsche Oper cancelled three performances of the opera because of fears that they would anger Muslims."

It amazes me how much everyone is concern about hurting Muslins´sensibilities... but no one seems to care about other religions´.
In my country, where 95% of the people consider themselves are catholics, we are tired of images about God and religion in different ways... And nothing happens!
I am sure no one wants to hurt the Muslins, nor I with this comment. But the self-censorship that was developed after the Danish issue is something we should consider seriosly. If we can talk about Judaism or Christianism without further concerns, why does it have to be different with Islamism? Do we always have to be afraid of what may happen because of the action of some fanatics?
If we play that game, we are letting them win.
