The film is not an issue it is humor and nothing more. Are we to say Islam is off limits for humor? Then so to should all religions be off limits to humorists? Race is already off limits for humor unless the comedian is of the same race. If we keep whittling away at our freedom of speech then we will eventually lose that as well. This film was merely the excuse they used over there but if the film didn't exist they would have used some other excuse to riot and kill people. The people of the middle east do not like any who are not Islam and America is the largest of the infidels they wish to destroy.
