“True, but did he have to get death threats over that?”
Death threats are a criminal matter that should be dealt with by the police.
What Mr. Tynan did is equivalent to insulting the Irish in Boston or the Italians in New Jersey. It’s just dumb to insult the people responsible for your livelihood, and he is wise to relocate. Perhaps his new reputation can help him get him some lucrative concert bookings in the Muslim world.
Perhaps I am coming from a different view. I am of a minority population. I have been called many names related to my race. I have experienced racism, the real thing. So what. In my view too many people are walking around with a chip on their shoulder. People like Mr. Tynan should just be ignored.
