They should pull it, if people are going to get hurt or killed is it worth crying "freedom of speech" over this?
I know it's not right, and I know it goes against everything freedom of speech is supposed to mean, but you have to weigh up the costs involved.
Is it worth risking peoples lives over?
I don't think so.
Uhm... YEAH; BASTIDS! I'm with ya' here...

And stop your women wearing short skirts while you're at it too. They find it offensive.
You know if I was in their country I would ensure that I ibide by their rules. Out of courtesy and respect.
But to tell me in my own country that my long legged wife can not wear a short skirt.
That is going to lead to a confrontation.

Honestly? You guys are nuts.
Of course the film should be pulled.
How many will die because we didn't decide to respect their religion?
This is so idiotic of you to say this.
And to say this is because we have freedom of speech?!
You're all insane.
We have our own associations in the US that censor movies all the damned time.
They yank films from being released already.
Giving into terrorists? Over a movie?
Freaking nuts.
Okay, what about this "war on drugs".
What about marijuana being a gateway drug nonsense.
How the hell are you guys thinking that removing what we view as a harmless movie, but they are seriously offended, would be giving into terrorists.
How about respecting their culture and religion??

We quarantine dangerous diseases. So they don't spread or cause illness and suffering.
We do find out about the dangerous disease and we do have an action plan to prevent the spread. We do not just go and cull all of the people who might have the disease we take some time to find out who actually has it.
(it is a bit different with chickens though)
Today this, tomorrow stricter partial implementations of sharia in the non-islamic countries. Whats next? Thats how they increase and conquer. Islam has forcefully converted many citizens of many nations to muslims going back in time including destruction/conversion of landmarks which represented religion other than islam. Which they will not talk about it nor would make movies or display their real motive in the open. I can give you several links but I have seen your posts and you are very well capable of googling the religious/hate crimes committed by islamic nations even to this date. Below are just few links.

Let's be clear, this is not about the movie, it was the spark to light a fire. It's about a clash of ideologies.
If western countries ban the film, do you honestly think peace will suddenly reign throughout the middle east and radical muslims will suddenly tolerate Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and all other religions that they have clashed with time and time again throughout history?
It's time to stand up to the fanatic barabaric animals that threaten our freedom and send a clear message that we will not be intimidated by their medieval tactics.
