reveals that people in Birmingham, England are protesting about a play
they claim shows the Sikh community in a bad light. Religious leaders
are urging people to boycott the theatre.

Old news I'm afraid. Sadly the theatre had to pull the play due to "safety of
staff". A sad day for freedom of speech in the UK.
It was Sikhs who were protesting - supposedly the most peaceful of religions.
I dislike religion but I especially dislike religions whose adherents have to
proclaim it with some article(s) of clothing, jewellery or other adornment.
