Paris museum takes down "art" that glorified terrorists (update - not correct)

Last month I mentioned that a Paris museum was exhibiting pro-terrorist "art". Protests were planned outside the museum.

The protests worked, and the museum has seemingly closed the show, which was supposed to run until September 1. The sign on the door says it was closed "due to circumstances beyond our control."

From Europe-Israel:
At the initiative of Europe Israel joined by France-Israel, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the JDL, 400 people demonstrated this afternoon [June 30] in front of the Paris museum Jeu de Paume against an exhibition showing the thugs who praised Palestinian terrorists, such as those who blow themselves up in Israeli schools and buses, as "martyrs."

The reference to the terrorists as "martyrs" by the "artist"was what changed this exhibition from an objective view of the reality of how many Palestinian Arabs give terrorists rock-star status into an exhibit that supports that viewpoint itself.

UPDATE: I believe I misunderstood the door sign; I thought it said the exhibit was closed as of June 30 but it really says it was only closed that day. As far as I know, it is still there, and more demonstrations are planned.
