"My Sweet Lord" display wasn't shut down over outcry, but because of death threats

[ck4829]

More 'loving' from the "Compassionate Conservatives".

"The "My Sweet Lord" display was shut down by the hotel that houses the Lab Gallery in midtown Manhattan. Roger Smith Hotel president James Knowles cited the public outcry for his decision.

The hotel and the gallery were overrun Thursday with angry phone calls and e-mails about the exhibit. Semler said the calls included death threats over the work of artist Cosimo Cavallaro, who was described as disappointed by the decision to cancel the display.

"In this situation, the hotel couldn't continue to be supportive because of a fear for their own safety," Semler said."

11. yeah, those Muslims are savages

these Christians, however, are merely threatening to kill people so they can spread the Gospel of Love in a civilized manner.
