If you think this won't happen in the US, think again.  A publisher refused to print a book it paid $100k for called "The Jewel of Medina", because it might be offensive. 
And anyone remember the Danish cartoons?

...you didn't cut anyone else that slack you're taking for yourself.

Now take yourself off to Holland immediately and sort this out.

Only liberals can turn a death like that into a crime.  I'm sure the "family" the man had and didn't check in on him or care enough to make sure he was okay will think the same thing, and sue for damages and loss of life.

Your championship free speech would be admirable, if it was honest. Would you have started the same thread if the film had been anti-Jewish and not anti-Muslim ? Somehow I doubt it.

Are you saying I would enjoy an anti-Jewish movie?

Actually, the last movie I saw was Defiance.  I enjoyed it.  It was a little long, but I really liked the movie and the story.

I also recently watched Schindler's list for the first time.  I watched every minute of it.

I also really liked Valkyrie.  The one where Hitler was nearly assassinated.

It gives them something to do on Friday night.
