Unbelievable ... Blogger Ready To Stage Corpus Aris Velouchiotis if Corpus Cristi Play Continues


We read some of the blog posts on ygro-pyr.blogspot from time to time, and we believe it when the blogger says that he will do it. Besides, when there is a will there is a way and everything is possible.

On his web page he states:
Anyone who does not like, the Constitutionally recognized formal religion of Greece and does not respect the majority of the Greeks who embrace this religion, should simply leave this country. They are completely free to go and they will be doing us a favor by emptying up space for us anyway. We have had enough with self-seeking, anti-Greek hypocrites.
If I, as a filmmaker decided to stage a similar play like Corpus Cristi (the play portrays Jesus and his disciples as being gay) with the title Corpus Velouchiotis, starring Aris Velouchiotis (as a gay man) who runs in the mountains and valleys with his guerrillas, then I would be termed a fascist and all these people who today are calling all of us (Christians) who were offended by the  play fascists would forget about what they said (the following day to the mainstream media) about democracy, and the freedom of expression. Greece's prosecution should have convicted all these wannabes a long time ago, because they use blaspheme against the prevailing religion of Greece. Isn't the United States the land of expression? Then why were the creators of the satirical film about the prophet Mohamed arrested there?
Why is it that in Greece we continually allow certain individuals to purposely insult our  beliefs (whatever they are)? And why are they never punished?

Aris Velouchiotis was the leader and chief instigator of the Leftist Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS), the military branch of the National Liberation Front (EAM), which was the resistance organization in occupied Greece from 1942 to 1945. Aris Velouchiotis was appointed military leader of ELAS at the beginning of the Resistance Movement, by the EAM leadership, being at the same time a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). In other words he is to the Left what Thatcher is to the Right.

Editor's Note - I have a feeling we are going to see many "Brokeback Mountain" type of movies and plays... oh my oh my...
