Is Europe finally beginning to stand up against Jihadist intimidation? The controversy over a cancelled Mozart opera in Germany may be a turning point.

German chancellor some effect:

A controversial Mozart opera adapted to include a scene showing Mohammed’s severed head on stage appears set for a new run in Berlin after the German government said the show must go on as a “signal of closer dialogue” with the country’s 3.4m Muslims.

[...]

Badr Mohammed, head of Berlin’s European Integration Centre and one of the Muslim delegates to the conference, said the forum was a “historic breakthrough - an opportunity that Muslims must now grasp”.

[...]

Yet greater co-operation was already proving difficult on Wednesday night, as some of the representatives of Germany’s main Muslim organisations complained that the interior ministry had also invited independent Muslim experts to the forum, including women writers and lawyers who are highly critical of conservative Muslim traditions.

So it sounds like, although the current run of the show has been cancelled, it may be put on at some yet-to-be-determined time in the future.

We shall see. I’ve got a feeling this story isn’t over yet.
