1. So, Segal's Towing The "It Was The Movie" Line..
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (10.03.12)
B"H - ..while the rest of us all know now that it was a pre-planned terrorist, probably Al Kaida attack, that the Obama administration wanted to cover up to avoid the negative political fallout.
2. There is a basis for Muslims believing Obama edits movies
William ,   Israel   (10.03.12)
Unlike Jews and Christians, most Muslims live in despotic, oppressive regimes who do infact control everything including movies. So when those hateful, libel films and articles come out in Arab countries from "independent production houses", the fact is it was done under direct approval of this despotic regime. Muslims have no idea what is personal freedom. They're not even allowed to exercise it in Islam, which punishes those with independent thought, those who try to leave Islam, and punishment is handed down by fellow Muslims in a weird "Lord of the Flies" experiment. With this being their only perspective on existence, how can one NOT think they believe Obama personally accepted each and every movie in Hollywood, as retarded as that claim is?
3. free speech in America is what you do
Larry   (10.03.12)
just before you are fired and forced to apologize. The ADL, AIPAC and various other political correctmess thought terrorists rule America and have done so for decades.. All Americans know this and most are too terrorized to even say so. There is more free speech in Russia or Israel than America.
4. #3, Actually you have the stench of a terrorist about you
Jake   (10.03.12)
Maybe you should emigrate to Iran. You may find a stable government job there that matches your skill level.
5. Strictly speaking all mankind is descended from apes
Mark ,   London, UK   (10.04.12)
Unless you take a medieval creationist view. I suppose they are just paving the way for a claim that the Koran is the source of the theory of evolution. :-)
6. SURPRISE....
les ,   canada   (10.04.12)
what else did you expect from them? just look at that mad man in the picture...
7. #4 - rather than attack him, jake
William ,   Israel   (10.04.12)
prove him wrong. My guess is you have little substance in your argument so you resort to mindless dehumanization.
8. Limits
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (10.04.12)
We are learning slowly but surely that there are well-defined limits to free speech. We simply do not have the freedoms we had in the past. Painful to some though it may be, Americans are going to have to learn to toe the mark, as do others in better-controlled nations of the world.
9. Freedom of speech in danger not only in USA
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (10.04.12)
Under the freedom of speech act I say that the coran is a book of trash,hallah a god Moon and Mohamad never existed....but nornally most moderators will not publish it...question:why the news report only the racist Muslims slurs???
10. No. 8, so you favor less freedom for everybody
Marco ,   Spain   (10.04.12)
instead of elevating the less free countries to full freedom
11. to 3
(10.05.12)
if the film was done as free speech so the apologise was free speech but nither of them is free speech it is political and d iplomacy
12. I dont think this film should be in the "bad film club"
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (10.05.12)
Nakoula had something to say and said it as a parody. As a Coptic Christian, he'd seen his people continuouly beaten down by Muslims and was sick of it. I saw a film of how they treat the Copts in Egypt and it is shocking. The opening scene is of a bunch of Muslim fanatics coming down the street of a Christian neighborhood to do a pogrom. This film legitamately expressed his feelings of disgust towards Islam, even if it was cheaply made. I predict that in 10-15 years every Copt will be in North America because life will be impossible for them in Egypt.
