More Muslim Appeasement in Britain
The British are in full Muslim Appeasement Mode (MAM). Now, various leftist thugs are censoring plays because they might "upset" Muslims.
Here's a thought: Tough fucking shit if Muslims are offended.
Marlowe's Koran-burning hero is censored to avoid Muslim anger
The Left used to demand "free speech" to march against wars or to protest for civil rights. Now they censor speech they do not like. How amazing it is that the Left is now acting like Nazis. And how amazing that they come up with patently ridiculous excuses to account for their censoring ways. Hilarious.

Marlowe's Koran-burning hero is censored to avoid Muslim anger
It was the surprise hit of the autumn season, selling out for its entire run and inspiring rave reviews. But now the producers of Tamburlaine the Great have come under fire for censoring Christopher Marlowe’s 1580s masterpiece to avoid upsetting Muslims.
Audiences at the Barbican in London did not see the Koran being burnt, as Marlowe intended, because David Farr, who directed and adapted the classic play, feared that it would inflame passions in the light of the London bombings.
Simon Reade, artistic director of the Bristol Old Vic, said that if they had not altered the original it “would have unnecessarily raised the hackles of a significant proportion of one of the world’s great religions”.
The burning of the Koran was “smoothed over”, he said, so that it became just the destruction of “a load of books” relating to any culture or religion. That made it more powerful, they claimed.
