[i]"Shakespeare's plays are not about good versus evil, not about a world in which you are either 'with us or against us,"' said Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, a Muslim scholar who is lecturing on Shakespeare and Islam at The Globe this week.
"Shakespeare refuses to indulge in those cartoon caricatures of right and wrong. His plays are too complex for that."[/i]

Yusuf, flying planes into buildings, beheading people, and engaging in other murderous acts IS wrong. Nothing cartoonish about it. This not so subtle attempt to muddy the waters and bamboozle people into being more open-minded about evil acts is really quite repulsive, but not surprising.

i don't have much to say about this, except: "bull shit". Just by reading his works, you can tell that William Shakespeare was a great man, a genius, and a Christian.
If his plays aren't about good versus evil, i don't know what is.
You could as soon say that Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the even the Bible, aren't about "good versus evil".
