After all, a tourist could simply avoid the exhibition...
My main point was that Sadam is not a person venerated by Muslims, so what's the problem. Anyone that doth protest about it can only be considered a Sadam sympathiser.

It'd probably put me off the exhibition because I don't particularly want to gawp at his ugly fizzog, but that's just me...
What you'll probably find is that the people who are in charge of the exhibition have jumped on the bandwagon somewhat - completely pointless IMO, seeing as Saddam isn't venerated in general. However, I wouldn't see this as anyone 'bowing down to Islam' - more a misguided attempt to appease people
