en There is a double-standard. And quite often if you're from Africa, if you're from a developing country, you'll be executed. There aren't that many people protesting or making a big fuss. But our State Department and the media -- if you're a Westerner -- will make a big fuss.

en The protests have absolutely nothing to do with the show. There's no question that the people who are trying to promote extreme religious agendas scan the media for opportunities to make a fuss. No one who saw the show objected to it on Christian grounds - when we were developing it there was no controversy at all. What happened is that when it was going to go on telly they thought, 'If we make a fuss by demonstrating outside the BBC then we can get lots of media coverage.'

en I don't see any point in making a big fuss about it.  I just said, 'No, thank you.'
  E. L. Doctorow

  Arnold Schwarzenegger

en What a fuss people make about fidelity! Why, even in love it is purely a question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.
