UK gallery scraps art, fearing Muslim rage: curator

Details. "

PARIS (Reuters) - A London gallery has decided not to show some works of art because it fears they would upset Muslims, a curator said on Friday, a week after a German opera house canned a Mozart production for the same reason.

The director of Britain's Whitechapel Art Gallery decided to remove works by surrealist artist Hans Bellmer from an exhibition the day before it was due to open, one of the museum's curators, Agnes de la Beaumelle, told Reuters.

"The motive was simply to not shock the population of the Whitechapel neighborhood, which is partly Muslim," she said."

Muslims, get a life. You say that your leaders are non-violent. Bullshit. Every rock, every bomb, every bullet proves how violent your religion is.
