Perhaps there's some anxiety about escalating antagonism, not without reason. If we can't cope with that poem how are we going to welcome the islamist from Falluja when he pops his (civil) head up. Censor that poem and there goes English literature. Like from King Lear, off the top of my head
'Knowing naught, like dogs, but following'
That sounds offensive enough to me, taken in a certain way.
