When plans to produce My Name Is Rachel Corrie

When plans to produce My Name Is Rachel Corrie, a play based on the journal entries of an American girl

murdered by the IDF for her pro-Palestinian activism, were canceled in New York City this year, in the

NIKE SHOX we only read about it in The Nation. When plans to put on Idomeneo, a Mozart opera, in

Germany were recently canceled to placate Muslim sensibilities — the original has nothing to do with

Muslims, or Mohammed, but the “post-modern” version that was being planned featured a scene involving

the Prophet’s severed head being brought out onto the stage — we read about it … everywhere.

In case you missed it, here’s Cato Institute scholar Arnold Kling writing at TCS Daily last month:

I believe that what we need going forNIKE SHOXd is a policy of disarming Muslims. I believe that we

must keep devout Muslims away from weapons, and keep weapons away from devout Muslims. I can work with

Muslims, send my children to school with Muslims, and be friends with Muslims. I do not have an issue

with their religion, as long as they do not have weapons. However, the combination of weapons and Islam

poses unacceptable danger to the rest of us.
