Tate art gallery surrenders to islam

A couple of days ago I talked about BK surrendering to a single muslim and now The Tate Britain art gallery has surrendered to muslims after it removed a sculpture from an exhibition for fear of offending Muslims, citing the "sensitive climate" following suicide bombings in London in July.

The museum decided not to include "God is Great" in a display of works by British-based John Latham, infuriating the artist and renewing debate over where to draw the line when censoring the arts.

"God is Great" features copies of the Bible, Koran and Talmud -- sacred texts of Christians, Muslims, and Jews respectively -- embedded in thick glass.

"Having sought wide-ranging advice, Tate feels that to exhibit the work in London in the current sensitive climate, post-July 7, would not be appropriate," a museum spokesman said.

This is worse than what BK did as art is an expression and they are denying everyone freedom of expression so they don't offend a few crazed muslims. Everyone should boycott The Tate Britain art gallery because anyone that surrenders to political correctness doesn't deserve our support. Anyone who tries to deny freedom of expression doesn't deserve our support.

I hope when the gallery is losing money he will look back on this and wish he hadn't done it.

Are you also sick of people pandering to muslims or political correctness? If you are you can tell Tate how you feel here.
