It tells the story of a young Afghan peasant, Sayid, who dreams of making it as a flower farmer selling poppies to the West.

Yeah, right, all those Afghan poppy fields are for the "flowers".

I don’t have a problem with it.

Was Tim Robbins in any way involved with this “masterpiece?”

Imagine what Charlie Chaplin would do. He might do a version called "The Great Caliphator".

A tastless portrayal of oh-so-tasteful terrorism!

Love power. I’m talking about love power.
The power of a sweet flower is gonna rule the earth.
And there’ll be a great rebirth.

Love is a flower that is fine.
When I’m walkin’ with my darlin’ and we’re holding hands,
and life is fine, ‘cause she understands.
‘A walking down the sunny street
givin’ pretty flowers to the people that we meet.

And I give a flower to the big fat cop,
he takes his club and he beats me up.
I give a flower to the garbage man,
he stuffs my girl in the garbage can.
And I give it to the landlord, when the rent comes ‘round.
He throws it in the toilet and he flush it down.
It goes into the sewer with the yuck running through her,
And it runs into the river that we drink.
Hey world, you stink!

Ah, man it’s later than you think
Girl you got just one more chance.
Come on baby, while I dance.

Love, love power.
I’m talking ‘bout love power
The power of a little flower.
You don’t think ‘bout no little flowers,
Oh no, all you think about is guns.
If everybody in the world today had a flower instead of a gun,
there would be no wars. There would be one big smell-in.
Just the flowers. Hey, man, a flower.
A flower. What you do to my flower, man?
You hurt it, like everything else.
Everything else. Flowers

Sometimes the only way to deal with awful realities is to laugh at them.

I imagine that the people protesting the musical are mainly from two groups: Muslims & Liberals - not the victims of terrorism as the article states.
