These are the libtard idiots that commissioned and then showed “Piss Christ”.

Not only are they hypocrites, they are massive cowards.

I would deem this play too offensive to camels.

The parents of the six year old who was to inspire the erection grounded her. They had no understudy.

and many additional engagements, etc....

“Not only is the play being canceled, but some media entities have been afraid to even name the play. The New York Times, which first reported the story, calls it “a new play … with a title making reference to ‘Mohammed.’”

Some people may think this is cowardice on parade but this
is the northeastern communist block USA. This is abject
praise and worship.

The government didn’t censor. The owner of the building did. Nothing wrong with that.

The show simply needs to find a new venue.

The freedom to insult doesn’t include the requirement to do so.

That said, I’m all for the show, and many more just like it.

Her next contest should be 'Draw Mohammed's Wife'.
