Why should we prosecute the filmmaker simply for making a film, even if it is a badly produced one about Islam? Don’t we have free speech in this country? Do we want to throw the makers of South Park in prison for making fun of Mormons. The Muslims needs to grow up and not act like a bunch of babies when their prophet is mocked in a stupid movie.

When you say “The Muslims,” David, who exactly are you referring to? Don’t you realize that accounts put active participation in the anti-film protests at between 0.001 and 0.007% of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims – a tiny fraction of those who marched for democracy in the Arab spring. Most Muslims are peace-loving and have no interest in this stupidity. The Newsweek cover story on “Muslim Rage” was pandering to the lowest common denominator. The Muslim world does not hold the American government or its citizens responsible for acts of ONE irresponsible Israeli filmmaker, and the super-rich Jewish financiers who helped back the project.
@David Gold, Queens, NYC
You should know, Ahmad, that despite your glee in pinning this on the Jews, that the filmmaker was actually an Egyptian-born Christian, and was not financed by any “super-rich” Jewish financiers. Sorry.
@Matt Rallington, Waco, Texas
Oh, so it is the fault of the Christians, David! So typical of a Jew to turn in his Christian brother as the guilty party. It has been that way since Judas pointed his finger at Jesus, the Lord, Our God.
@Ahmad Khan, Beirut, Lebanon
I so agree with you, Matt, my Christian friend. Never trust a Jew. Look at how they stole the land from the Palestinians.
@Matt Rallington, Waco, Texas
Actually, Ahmed, I am a firm supporter of the State of Israel. The Bible says that only through the Hebrews will there be a War to End All Wars, causing the End of Days and the return of our Savior, who will then destroy all who don’t believe in him.
@David Gold, Queens, NYC
Including the Jews, Matt?
@Matt Rallington, Waco, Texas
Oh, definitely the Jews, David. You will live in Hell forever.
@David Gold, Queens, NYC
I see. Well, even though you hate the Jewish people, Matt, I respect your support of the State of Israel.
@Rivers Stillman-Thompson, Berkeley, CA
I’m an atheist, David, and I can’t understand how Jews can circumcise their sons like savages. This primitive practice should be banned.
@Ahmad Khan, Beirut, Lebanon
Actually, Rivers, Muslims also circumcise their boys and I find your views abhorent.
@David Gold, Queens, NYC
Right on, Ahmed. We agree on one thing. Oh, and our love of falafel.
@Rivers Stillman-Thompson, Berkeley, CA
I like falafel, also, David, but only if it is organic.
@Matt Rallington, Waco, Texas
WTF kind of name is Rivers, Rivers? Are you a dude or a chick?
@Rivers Stillman-Thompson, Berkeley, CA
Gender has no meaning to me, Matt. Every individual contain both genders.
@David Gold, Queens, NYC
What a fruitcake! Right, Ahmad?
@Ahmad Khan, Beirut, Lebanon
Yes, David. Definitely. 🙂
@Father Brian McMasters, Cleveland, Ohio
Hey, everyone! Are there any young boys on here?
@Matt Rallington, Waco, Texas
Father Brian, you are on the WRONG FORUM!
@David Gold, Queens, NYC
Neil, that was a really inappropriate punch line for this blog post.
@Ahmad Khan, Beirut, Lebanon
I don’t know about that, David. At least it wasn’t about Mohammed!
