    These are the libtard idiots that commissioned and then showed “Piss Christ”.
Not only are they hypocrites, they are massive cowards.

    one of the scheduled plays, Mohammed Gets A Boner, was deemed too offensive to Muslims. I would deem this play too offensive to camels.

    The parents of the six year old who was to inspire the erection grounded her. They had no understudy.

considering Mo had at least 19 wives (ranging from age about 9 to much older than himself),
and many additional engagements, etc....

    “Not only is the play being canceled, but some media entities have been afraid to even name the play. The New York Times, which first reported the story, calls it a new play 
 with a title making reference to Mohammed.’
Some people may think this is cowardice on parade but this
is the northeastern communist block USA. This is abject
praise and worship.

    The government didn’t censor. The owner of the building did. Nothing wrong with that.
The show simply needs to find a new venue.
The freedom to insult doesn’t include the requirement to do so.
That said, I’m all for the show, and many more just like it.

    Pamela Geller is smiling, somewhere. Her next contest should be 'Draw Mohammed's Wife'.
