DUMB TITLE: Breitbart: French far-right Christians besiege Jesus excrement play

I don't like the news title. When Muslims protested the Dutch Muhammad drawing around the world, they were just referred to as "Muslims." But if Christians deface an offending exhibit, they are "extremists." Oh, I get it. Those Christians should just "turn the other cheek" as Christ commanded, right? That's why the world continues to insult, belittle, and mock Christ and Christianity. Should a Christian ever defend him or herself they go against all of Christ's values. Interesting that we let the world define who we Christians are.

REPORT: Paris police have arrested around 20 Christian fundamentalists who burst into a theatre and threw stink bombs to protest against a play featuring the face of Christ drizzled with fake excrement.
Police made the arrests at the Theatre de la Ville, on the banks of the Seine near Notre Dame cathedral, during a performance of "On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God", directed by Italian Romeo Castellucci.

The play, which runs until October 30, is the story of an incontinent man being looked after by his son.

A copy of a huge portrait of Christ by Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina hangs at the back of the stage and appears to be covered in excrement towards the end of the performance.
