Dojj,
The B'ham thing was surrounding a play where a girl was killed, I think at a Sikh place of worship and the local Sikh community decided that they did not want their religion portayed this way. Now, I have no problem with the venting their anger, but when they used/threatened violence in order to put their views across then the line was overstepped, all IMHO of course (but then I live in a democracy, or at least I thought I did!)
