Hi Cirque,
Personally, I LOVE your avatar! But, if we give muslims the right to censor a really BAD movie, then you gotta know that your avatar offends them to no end. Give them a little leeway and they'll be telling us what to wear. So here, I fixed your avatar to placate the Muslims. Please note: The sword is perfectly fine - they will love that!

I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. Brilliant Jigger.
I see where you are coming from. I too, when the violence began and I saw the trailer, shrugged my shoulders and said, "What's the big deal?". I believe and cherish what is left of our Constitution. I just am tenuous on what is left that is not corrupt.
So do you think we need to stay? Or should we come home?

Freedom of speech, in today's America, means you can yell "FIRE" in a crowded theatre.
Your local theatre, your current theatre of war or the church of your choice. Same MO, same result: loss of American lives.

now that its up it should be allowed to remain.
and more details about the producers of the video should be made available. where was Nakoula born? doesn't sound like an American name to me.
this story and all its particulars should be kept for posterity...a teaching tool for generations of Americans to come.
Are you kidding me????
Who cares who the producers are. Who cares where they are from or what their names are. They made a MOVIE. So what if people don't like it.
In comparison this is like blaming a girl who gets raped for dressing provocatively.
Surely you are not blaming the movie maker for the actions of these lunatics, are you?edit on 15-9-2012 by WildWorld because: (no reason given)

Do we come home? Definitely. That mess over there cannot be fixed.

YT is waiting for either the State Department or the DHS to declare the movie a 'hate crime' and of strategic significance to the global interests of the USA.... then the 'freedom of speech' aspect remains intact
but the film gets censored for national security reasons
the wheels of bureacuracy grind slowly sometimes
thanks
At this very moment, Americans are piling into movie theaters, cheering through their popcorn at the notion of the Islamic prophet as a goat-romancing child molester, and sending “The Innocence of Muslims” to the top of the box office charts. It’s an evil that must be stopped at all costs, or at least, “before the film is released in European cinemas,” urges Ahmed Ibrahim as, behind him, three of his colleagues collect rocks off the rubble-strewn street and dump them onto an improvised sling — a tattered and stained Egyptian flag.
Misguided as their efforts may be — like most protesters at the scene, Ibrahim believes “The Innocence of Muslims” is a Hollywood production that, like any local or international film released in Egypt, and presumably elsewhere, passes through several rounds of censorship and receives official state approval from its own government before seeing the light of day
“We want a formal apology from [US President Barack] Obama, we want the filmmakers executed, and we want all copies of the film destroyed,” another protester cut in. “All those tapes must be burned.”
“It’s wrong to attack the embassy.” But then the conversation is interrupted by two younger men who claim the film was financed, in part at least, by the US government. “See?” Mohamed replies with a look of disgust, before following the two men in the direction of the temporarily guarded embassy.

Because that's not good for freedom of speech.
Imagine this,
People convince the American Government to force Youtube to CENSOR the video,
The Government then passes laws to enabling them to CENSOR unsavoury content from online sources
Government now has control to block anything online that they find offensive.
Then you can say goodbye to such sites as ATS.
