It is not the Muslims who are exposed here. It's the cowardice of the arts community that stepped up to the plate, and whined. It should come as no surprise. Think back to the behaviors of the movie stars in response to the 9/11 attack. To a woman they fled the country or hid out in Bel Air too terrified to do anything. Artists only talk about bravery. Their lives are about pretending everything. It is a mistake to think any in the community has guts. They laid down for Hitler, went along with Mussolini, and were in the lead of the "Better red than Dead" crowd in the 1950s. Think about it.
