Re: The US diplomatic missions attacked in Egypt and Libya

This video is different from other anti Islam movies because it had gone viral before it was picked by that “illiterate mullah”. It was also translated in Arabic and spread in Arabic world as well. Remember that the maker of this video is a Coptic Christian, most probably from the Middle East.

Ok. So if someone is not inciting people to commit acts of violence then it should be expression of free speech and such video need not removed. Deal?
But then why questioning SOME aspects of holocaust a CRIME? How does questioning holocaust result in inciting violence?

But even if one disagrees with what I said above and still say that it was ok to leave that hateful video; I ask what makes sense? Sticking to the hypocritical “free speech” and leave the video there, or bear with major unrest in the whole Middle East because of it?
if one goes with the first choice then I would say just stop complaining and deal with the consequence of this decision.

Dude. I am a regular on Youtube. I read up on the news, I keep an eye on these things by default. If it were viral, I would have heard about it. Honestly, the first time I even heard about it was when a Christian friend of mine told me they were protesting in Libya over some video. The movie is retarded, with terrible acting and no one was ever going to watch it. It only went viral after people start protesting it and suddenly people realized it existed. And regardless of whether it was viral or not means absolutely nothing. There is stil tons and tons of blasphemous material on YouTube. There are videos insulting religions, races, nations you name it. YouTube is FULL of hate. You just have to learn to navigate around that sort of garbage.

Who said Holocaust denial should be a crime? The Europeans, at least some of them, consider it as such, but they are just as wrong. On the one hand I can understand where they are coming from, because they are desperate to not allow the holocaust to happen again, but you cant be a champion of free speech and then censor Holocaust denial. Still dont confuse the US for Europe. In the US you can deny the holocaust till your throat is parched.

The people in the Middle East will just have to come to terms with the fact that there will always be those people who will hate, always those who will denigrate and insult Islam or anything else they might hold sacred. You cant silence everyone. And the more you try, the more they will find other outlets. Its futile.

And if we go with the second choice, and leave the videos and free speech, we should accept that Muslims will start burning building, public property, murdering people etc etc. Mindless violence seems like a rational reaction to some stupid video in your mind? How about just pressing the ignore button and getting on with you life? Isnt it about time Muslim began to grow up… I mean, you cant change the world by beating people over the head.
