Makes one wonder who this mentally challenged idiot is who came up with the idea of making this tragic incident in to an opera. Amazing to say the least...

Pro-Mohammadan propaganda should be swiftly shut down.

About 45% of the American population are mentally challenged idiots.

We are surrounded by them.

Operas are all about tragic incidents.
Most operas have a body count.
Granted, the subjects of most are purely fictional, legendary, or, even in their time, ancient history.
With some notable exceptions, such as La Traviata, which though thinly veiled, opened just a few years after the real world tragedy on which it is based.
Its not wrong on the face of it to base such a work on recent events. The complaint in this case I suppose is that either the terrorists are seen sympathetically or the victim isnt.

Your comment made me curious so I looked up the answer. I was very surprised to find that it is someone I went to high school with. I have only a vague notion of his career since then, so my comment is based on how I remember him. Rather than being a mentally challenged idiot he seemed more like a genius. I remember him as being extremely intelligent, talented, and entertaining and also a very friendly and nice person.

Paul Simon, perhaps? Unbrella Man was such a hit, after all.
