Madonna Being Watched

According to an (ap) News article, the Berlin authorities are watching Madonna's show to insure that she doesn't repeat her crucifixion scene. They say that if repeated it could be construed as insulting religious beliefs.

I guess there is no freedom of expression in Germany. Other European countries have passed laws that limit freedom of speech and target religious beliefs. For instance, a preacher could be prosecuted for preaching against homosexuality.

Have we gotten so politically correct in the world today that we cannot say anything that someone else might find offensive? Where else could this go? I think that people should be allowed to say what they feel as long as they are not deliberately trying to spread lies. That's one of the reasons that I like the internet. Freedom of Speech is still allowed here, at least for now.
