"The Innocence of Muslims"
Sep. 22nd, 2012 12:26 amThat is the title of a low-budget (and I do mean low) film that angered so many muslims around the world. I have two words in defense of this film: FREE SPEECH. No matter how unsavory or offensive this film is, the people who were responsible are protected under the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution. No amount of flag burnings, rioting and ultimatums will ever change this fact.
You may not agree with this film, and that is ok, but that doesn't give anyone the right to kill and basically act like crazied lunatics in the name of their prophet or deity. We have free will to practice any religion we want, but don't be surprised when there is dissenting opinions or point-of-views that are not in favor of your religion or philosophy. We have a right to be angry, offended or disgusted when someone purposely mocks our religion, but not to the point of violence. If you demand/expect no one ever poke fun or offend your beliefs, then I suggest moving to the moon or nearby Mars or somewhere not inhabited by human beings, because I guarantee, someone somewhere will eventually end up offending you.
