Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' is historically linked to the assassination of President Lincoln and thereby to the Oklahoma bombing. 'The Merchant of Venice' was popular with the Nazis. If we praise Shakespeare for the good effects of his works, logically we should also condemn Shakespeare for the bad effects of his works. You can't have one without the other.
