Did any of you see the Guardian article on the content of the anti Muhammad (PBUH) video?
http://apps.facebook.com/theguardian...-youtube-clips

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the seriousness of it all and the big words thrown around: Religious Hatred; Incitement; Free Speech; John Stuart Mill; blah blah blah.

I couldn't help but laugh at this part:
"The production values of the video as a whole are those of a backyard performance of Ben Hur. In the great battle scene, the Muslim hordes sweeping across the desert are represented by six camel riders.

"Whoever refuses to follow Islam have only two choices: pay extortion – or die!"

Are we that insecure that we take such BS seriously? Seriously enough to go kill someone; not anyone but the envoy of a country in their sovereign territory? We should be dismissing such rubbish offhand. It doesn't merit anyone's attention and - who would, in all seriousness, watch this and learn something from it?!
