What is going on in Europe

[BIAD]

careful there, fellas - you could be arrested if this thread is read in Germany

Most notoriously, Lutz Bachmann, the leader of the xenophobic Pegida organization, was fined €9,600 in May for calling refugees "scum" in a series of Facebook posts.

Don't talk bad about the German's pet Muslims! We can't be having facts or truth get out into the wilds of the internet!

Oh I understand...! Here's something that shows you how far-gone Europe is over Islamic-freedom.
A German judge banned a comedian, Jan Böhmermann, from repeating "obscene" verses of his famous
poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

A Danish theater apparently cancelled "The Satanic Verses" from its season, due to fear of "reprisals."

Two French music festivals dropped Eagles of Death Metal -- the U.S. band that was performing at the
Bataclan theater in Paris when the attack by ISIS terrorists (89 people murdered), took place there
-because of "Islamophobic" comments by Jesse Hughes, its lead singer.

Hughes suggested that Muslims be subjected to greater scrutiny, saying "It's okay to be discerning
when it comes to Muslims in this day and age," later adding:
"They know there's a whole group of white kids out there who are stupid and blind.
You have these affluent white kids who have grown up in a liberal curriculum from the time they were in
kindergarten, inundated with these lofty notions that are just hot air."

"Western liberals are doing their dirty work for them; they're silencing the people ISIS judged to be
blasphemous; they're completing Isis's act of terror."

In England, the Victoria and Albert Museum took down Mohammed's image.
"British museums and libraries hold dozens of these images, mostly miniatures in manuscripts several
centuries old, but they have been kept largely out of public view,"

The Guardian explained. In Germany, the Deutsche Opera cancelled Mozart's opera Idomeneo in Berlin,
because it depicted the severed head of Mohammed.

Christopher Marlowe's "Tamburlaine the Great," which includes a reference to Mohammed being "not
worthy to be worshipped," was rewritten at London's Barbican theater, while Cologne's Carnival cancelled
Charlie Hebdo's float.

The English playwright Richard Bean has been forced to censor an adaptation of Aristophanes's comedy,
"Lysistrata", in which the Greek women hold a "sex strike" to stop their men from going to war
(in Bean's script, Muslim virgins go on strike to stop suicide bombers).

Several Spanish villages stopped burning effigies of Mohammed in the commemoration ceremony
celebrating the reconquest of the country in the Middle Ages.

In the Netherlands, an opera about Aisha, one of Mohammed's wives, was cancelled in Rotterdam
after the work was boycotted by the theater company's Muslim actors, after it became evident that
they would be a target for Islamists.
The newspaper NRC Handelsblad headlined its coverage "Tehran on the Meuse," the river that passes
through the Dutch city.
