1. silence
marco ,   pardes hana, israel   (09.18.12)
so now all the (arab) knesset members who were so quick to yell down on israel should publish apologies in all major world newspapers. Ha Ha that will happen when hell freezes over. Check out the real facts before mouthing off!!!
2. They have NO respect for God
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (09.18.12)
My family is from Egypt. And was there longer than the present bigoted fascists in power. These people worship shadows, fear and power.... and the word Mohammed. They don't understand God nor His will.
3. Islamic double standard and their self
Jerome ,   Basalt,Colorado   (09.18.12)
Victim martyrs! It is ok for them to burm Coptic churches and kill in the name of Allah, they play elders of Zion and have their demonizing and lying sermons! But g-d forbid anybody tells the truth that they don't want to hear!
4. Meanwhile..
Free Style ,   Mars   (09.18.12)
people living in the Western side of this planet called Earth lose their jobs and go to jail if they deny the Holocaust
5. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (09.18.12)
Who the hell cares for this arrest warrant? These people are living on the different planet.
6. Egyptian law should be applied in Israel
Raphael ,   Netanya   (09.18.12)
" harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Judaism and spreading false information" is also a criminal offence. However, I never heard about any arrest warrant.
7. Their reactions are a PROOF that
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.18.12)
the filmmaker is right . They know only murder , very "human and peace loving" religion indeed !
8. This requires condemnation from Obama!!!
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.18.12)
I am sure he will be silent on the matter. He should denounce that farcical trial and state clearly that it has no legitimacy in democratic countries that recognise the right to freedom of expression. He should express outrage that warrants are being issued for an American citizen and six American residents for exercising their right to freedom of expression in a country where that right is guaranteed. He should condition release of aid to these religious perverts unless and until they desist from making such a mockery of western values.
9. Why isn't any US Jewish org taking them to court for LIBEL?
Tracy W   (09.18.12)
These people alleged that a Jew was involved in their film project, which turned out to be a LIE aimed at directing Muslim fury against Jews. That lie was nothing less than a criminal act. It is outrageous that US Jewish advocacy organizations have been so quiet about this blatant LIBEL against the Jews. They barely expressed "concern". Why not a little more self respect and regard for the lives of Jews? If nothing is done, libels such as this one will continue and will result in the loss of Jewish lives!
10. How ridiculous...they prove they become
Arlene ,   Israel   (09.18.12)
more insane daily. Nashralla crawled out of the sewer to rile up the mobs against USA and Israel, using the movie as an escuse. Yes he spoke in the name of the "peaceful and merciful" religion. Off with their heads!!!
11. Anyone notice how much protection this guy got from the US
Pissed of @ BHO ,   USA   (09.18.12)
govt. as opposed to how little protection the 4 guys who were killed in the Libyian embassy got?? Smells like a HUGE cover up to me. Hmm, wonder if this guy is working as a spy. Why else would he get so much protectiona and allowed to have his whole face covered up
12. to#8
anita ,   finland   (09.18.12)
I agree with you. And this requires condemnation from the hole western world ! But maybe the arab oil money talks. sad thing is that eventually this naive western leaders would be also islmam's targe, they will not get away from this terrorist unless they donĀ“t want to convert to islam in the end.
13. High Time to Start Jailing Muslims
Marcohoe ,   San Francisco, USA   (09.18.12)
Isn't it high time the judiciaries in the West started prosecuting Muslims who can't stop insulting Christians by bluntly stating that Jesus is not a God, He did not die on the Cross and the Trinity is nonsense? Or is that really free speech? I think Muslims interpret it as weakness and that we accept their superiority.
14. IN THAT CASE THEN WE SHOULD ARREST
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (09.18.12)
entire Hezbullah TV networks, Iranian Fart News agency, Ham-Ass TV and so on. They insult Jews all day long.
15. Law suit
Nitirootman ,   Canada   (09.18.12)
As this bastion of free speech and human rights is rapidly descending the toilet of economic hell, it's nice to see the government has time to spend on an irrelevant legal action. Why waste time on such things as literacy, education, proper housing, jobs and proper medical care. Perhaps an inane law suit is as good as it gets for Egyptians today.
16. Great Deceiver
Jim ,   USA/pa   (09.18.12)
Satan has certainly done a wonderful job of inticing one billion humans into his cause. Perhaps when all this is said and done, we will see who is really "correct". I for one get quite irrate at the hipocritic Muslums decrying their peaceful religion when they kill their own. Incredible. G*d Bless Isreal and may He keep her safe.
17. Egyptian wisdom.
(09.19.12)
If arrest warrants are issued against cptic christians and a priest, why are they burning Israeli flags??
18. #8 Correct , but Obama is Part of the Problem,
Netanya ,   Netanya   (09.19.12)
so he cannot be the solution. He has sold out freedom of speech for weakness and Muslim sensitivity. What he should have done is a no-brainer, but his lack of standing up for American's right to free speech is the reason that riots and problems are still happening across the Muslim world against USA and Israel today. The murders of innocent Americans who are not guilty of anything but their practicing their rights to free speech being questioned is all on Obama. This should have been stopped a long time ago and Obama's silence on this is deafening. Hillary also should never have apologized for anything, freedom of speech is for everyone. The Passion of the Christ was insulting to Jews and the Di Vinci Code was very insulting to Christians, yet no outrage, no murders, no problem. Freedom of speech is the reason. So should we just have freedom to insult certain groups, maybe that is the solution, make it restrictive freedom of speech (insult anyone but Muslims) and then everyone will be happy. Oh, except the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Bahias and others, but so what, huh? Just don't insult Muslims, that is what they world should remember here and live in such a fashion to meet their very fair demand.
