My father sent me an article about this topic. The fact that the article was from a site called "Jihadwatch" may give you a hint about their position on the issue. (It may also tell you something about my father, which I'm not tremendously happy about.)

Personally, I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of only giving awards to artists with the "right" politics. It seems like the same mindset that led to blacklisting of Communists in 1950s Hollywood, though a bit less extreme.
