Art leads to an enlightened society. Just look back at dark ages Europe and what art and literature in subsequent ages did for the age of enlightenment. The stagnation of Islamic world/culture has been too long.

I whole heartedly agree with everything , everything you said up there in both posts Beamer bhai!
And I also think the general common society of Al-Islam needs to do serious re-interpretation of themselves and what truly Al-Islam means and filter out all the bad and wrongfully added, implied ideas, concepts, rituals and ideologies that had been created by special interest groups over the hundreds of years for their own benifit. These people, these so called masked Islam practicioners are the real threats to this grand concept of peace, serenity and spiritual enlightenment that Al-Islam conveys.
But I also feel that (no matter how much they or a screaming voice said, "this is freedom of speech" ) when anyone who just want to instigate a sensitive corner of someone ele's very very delicate faith, that is for pure hatefulness, that is no freedom of Speech! We live in a world today, where we denounce and punish making, using, promoting child pornography. Now how about I go around instead of using real human children in film but rather draw or create adult comics depicting children and adults engaged in inappropriate relationship! Wouldn't I be denounced and punished (I am not sure what the law is for drawing, painting child pornography) , shouldn't I be isolated and incarcerated by this society, my civil society to punish me, denounce me? I think so! I think I should be punished as I am doing something that is wrong in the sense of instigating, invoking a desire of wrongdoing, harming the physical/emotional security of a child, even though through drawing, but I am engaging in the prolifiration of child pornography. Now I can't use this freedom of speech BS in here, and I can not scream at the world, the society saying "hey, I was not engaging a real child in here, I was just drawing, where is my freedom of speech?"
If that is true then, this also must be true from a simple, pure logical view, that pathetic talentless, gift-less, nothing else better to say, BS so called film-maker is just trying too hard to get very cheap attention. Why? Why fraking with some people's deeply rooted delicate faith about their prophet never being depicted for their own deep religious ideas, this idea that they cherish with so much emotion and value, why fudging with that unless you do not have some cheap evil, hateful intention of hurting another's feeling!!! These faithful Moslems who for no other reason, never crossed your path, said nothing to you and as far as I can see are not offending anyone else's faith, whatever faith anyone else or no faith that may be, then Why would you go and stick your dirty finger in the backside those otherwise minding their own business individuals? That is not fracking freedom of speech! That is simply cheap stiring of controversies, simply trying to create cheap effect of something out of nothing just to get a few days worth of media attention when the so called artists/film-makers have no talent or anything really interesting to say, Period.
