No one made the film for freedom of speech. Their intentions were to insult Muslims and send the a message.
I agree but in our culture there is freedom of speech that includes the right to hold opinions others find insulting. How does that give Muslims a right to destroy and/or terrorize and/or murder people who had absolutely nothing to do with the film? Or even those who did put out the film?
And if Muslims are allowed to terroize us into moderating our speech, what else could they be allowed to terrorize us into doing or not doing?
What do you mean "our" culture? It wasn't because your culture freedom of speech was allowed.
Protesting isn't terororism. That attack with RPGs was. Muslims didn't change absolutely nothing about our freedom of speech. They just encouraged more people to do that. But they should just forget about it.
Muslim countries don't allow insults against any Prophet of the God of Abraham because it is not needed. Pathetic sick people do that. I'm not fine with going rioting at an embassy. That's not needed. Holding up signs and condemning the man and the film. Would have been the best thing. Acting stupid and yelling isn't the way to go. But are you seriously scared of people yelling on tv? I've been to Egypt a bit after the revolutions. There is nothing scary about people yelling. You need to grow up a bit.
The people who are out there to demonize Muslims should a message sent to them by Muslims. Its stupid to keep making anti Muslim movies that have no intention other than demonizng Muslims and are made by racist anti Islam people. That said they can be allowed all they want but they are overdoing it.
Any religion that needs man made laws to protect it from people who say bad things isn't going to do much for anyone who follows if.
