What's new? Muslims are always "offended" and constantly finding brand new things to "offend" them. It seems that many Muslims are just simply born "offended" and to find everything "offensive" although they can be strangely shameless when it comes to violence and making death threats.

If Muslims are destined to riot in Islamic countries every time someone posts something they don't like on the Internet then they are simply going to have to resign themselves to repeatedly rioting on a very regular basis because the Internet is going precisely nowhere - the hardware and technology is far too ubiquitous to ever be "dis-invented". It is time that the Mullahs and Imams got real and finally understand that the modern world and the very nature of communication technology has simply left their Dark Age backwardness very far behind.

As seen from the documentary "Islam: The Untold Story" - the primitives are no longer able to "magically" shield their baseless, evidence-free, truth-denying beliefs and superstitious fairy tales from the full scrutiny of the 21st century by making death threats and resorting to violence. Whether is is impartial scholarship, satire, merciless ridicule or unimaginative insult, the Muslims are going to find out, the hard way, that we can and we will do exactly all this and more and that there is absolutely nothing that they can do to prevent any of it.

If rioting Muslims wish to systematically shoot-themselves-in-the-foot by destroying their own communities and trashing their own cities because of their pathetic, immature inability to control their own emotions then that is their own business - it has absolutely nothing to do with what free individuals personally choose to think, say or say what they think in free democracies that recognises their constitutional right to do exactly that.

The right to free speech and free expression (as it is practiced by Americans in the US) is simply a non-negotiable absolute that is far more sacred and necessary than any religious person's belief in their precious Prophet.

Foreign policy makers and many people in the USA simply do not get the message. Other countries, other societies and other religions have as much right to expect respect for their ideas and historic backgrounds as do Americans and their ideals. We all have our own histories and social mores. 1.4 billion Muslims go about their daily lives in far greater peace than 300 million Americans, and some lessons of tolerance and respect need to be learnt to spare the lives of those caught in the crossfire. There is no 'chicken and egg' problem in understanding the current problems - this wretched film precipitated mayhem - the drone attacks with 'peripheral damage' to innocents are a running sore too.

The anti-Muslim film is disgusting and was created wilfully to misinform, inflame, offend and to hurt. Shame on anyone defending such garbage in the name of free speech - it is nothing to do with free speech, it is a wicked act of violence which has taken lives.

Why is the British Left sucking up to these barbarian goatf****rs? Apart from sheer cowardice?

'although many Copts and muslims live in harmony...' which planet are you from lady?
Are you referring to any Copts in particular? Egypt's 8 million Copts have been subjected to islamist terror attacks, their Churches have been blown up, attendees at Church services have been machine-gunned, Copts are being ethnically cleansed and those who remain living in Egypt are subjected to a fascist apartheid system that deprives them of the rights accorded to moslems.
More Islamist garbage from the NS
