[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.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble

[Thou art] a disease that must be cut away.
--William Shakespeare (1564-1616) Coriolanus

"And thus I clothe my naked villany
With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."

--From King Richard III (I, iii, 336-338)


"Off with his head!"

--From King Richard III (III, iv, 76)

"Shakespeare is part of our heritage," said Shafeeq Sadiq, national coordinator
of Islamic Awareness Week.


The Islamics are truly the new Nazis.
(The Nazi-era Germans thought they were the real Shakespeare nuts.
IIRC, the fat Gestapo officer in "Pimpernel Smith" made this sort of mad assertion.)
