squeala 875 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 A controversial play, called Homegrown, that set out to delve into what motivates young Muslims to join the self-styled Islamic State has been cancelled - just two weeks before it was meant to go out.

Dramatica 13,698 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It's a very controversial subject, exposing cases of girls who travelled to IS would probably encourage more to follow the same path. I'm all with the UK police for shutting it down. Good job I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't just shove it down and pretend it doesn't happen the problem will never be solved that way. Here's hoping they can put on their play sometime soon. Bring it to the states. There's enough Islamaphobia here that anything with "Islam" as the title will sell millions and get nation wide attention. Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey 3,017 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm all with the UK police for shutting it down. Good job Are you serious? That's scary. Where I live, there's something called freedom of speech and expression. And btw, this play was not shut down by the police, they don't have the authority (... of course). The National Theatre themselves cancelled it. "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.

I always read that there is Islamphobia in the US, but I know many Muslim Arabs who are living there happily. Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always read that there is Islamphobia in the US, but I know many Muslim Arabs who are living there happily. Weird. Well, it's sort of an "out in the open" kind of thing where it's on TV, Fox News especially, because a lot of people equate Islam with terrorism, but most people will be kind to your face regardless. I can recall many times, though, when I'm out in public and I see women dressed in Islamic attire and I hear nasty words being said under peoples' breath. You'd be surprised how many times you can go to Wal-mart and hear the word "sand-n*gger". It's disgusting.
