Re: Living in USA

On one end you guys want the US to apologize for the movie. On the other end you guys claim the protests are in response to a much bigger issue. So should the US apologize for the atrocities that have been committed around the world or for the movie??

Secondly, this movie is not a hate crime. A hate crime is when a person is actually hurt due to their race, religion or ethnicity. No one was hurt here. Hate speech is protected by the Constitution. No one has ever gotten arrested for expressing a view no matter how hateful it is. People living in other parts of the world just fail to comprehend this. In fact the second amendment is hurting the US and giving rise to domestic terrorism but since the right to own a gun has been explicitly stated in the Cobstitution, an amendment is required to prevent easy access to guns.

And people need to stop pulling laws out of thin air. Holocaust denial may be a crime in Europe but it’s definitely not a crime in the US. I can be standing at the corner of Times Square distributing pamphlets about Holocaust denial and there is nothing the US can do. And for all you people saying saying anything against blacks is a crime…wrong again! The KKK is still an active organization and just recently the ACLU even represented the KKK coz they were denied the right to put up some sign somewhere. whether you agree with this absolute freedom is besides the point. It’s the law of the land.

I don’t know why people living in the UK are all praise for their country when it is just as much responsible for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. At least the US was a target of Al Qaeda. The UK had nothing to do with the war yet one push by the US and they went right into Iraq and Afghanistan. Countries all over the world are US puppets and shouldn’t be but such is the world dynamics these days. People just live to jump on the ‘let’s bash the US’ bandwagon and fail to see where their own leaders and people are at fault. Typical victim mentality.

So you think we don’t criticize Pakistan? Fail.
