stop blaming Jews for Muslim problems...Israel aint got any oil

To the contrary; you have a flawed understanding of what it is. No one is obliged to parse speech to accommodate views not our own.  Muslims know that well when they say Christ is not  the son of son and  god at the same time since to them a triune god makes little sense so they say it even if it is sacrilegious to Christians. I do not see Christians in the streets en mass against Muslims.

The matter here is not freedom of speech but the presumption that if one is offended by speech one can has little regard for self control and do as one pleases even if it means murder and mayhem.

There is no general principle to jail anyone per jewish protestations across the globe and it is silly to say holocaust deniers are jailed en mass. Guilt tripped nations do that since they feel the truth, and it is the truth that they survived mass genocide, is a thing too odious to be denied. Even so, no one goes out en mass protesting and killing others because some fool believed jews did not die as history relates it.

Even the Palestinian question is a red herring. Christians and Jews and atheists all protese on their behalf. Many Americans are the Palestinains best friend even if the national policy is against them.

Muslims who murder on account of perceived slights to their faith do not get my sympathy. That in principle many Muslims feel they have a right to defend perceived slights to their faith with violence  is an odium, a toxic sentiment detrimental to their faith itself. This film, however odious it may be ( not many have seen it to judge the status of its propositions with respect to the Koran) would be been deemed prophetic if as surmised, it  stated Islam is a religion of hate.

Which one, The Lord Jesus or Jesus the son of God?

Shiva or Durga? If these people say it is valid then it is. I fully grasp both a triune god and the creator/destroyer faces of the divine. Your problem with it is your problem

He never did such thing. Whathe did is overthrow the stalls set up by traders around the place of worship. His complaint was that traders were taking liberties with worshippers. It's the origin of the idea that Sunday should be a day of rest and free from commercial burden. But modern societies have gone back to trading on a Sunday. They never learn.

 Hopefully, somewhere along the way the nations where these silly protests continue someone will get the good sense to advise the people that they cannot impose their religious opinions on others.

...and let bigots and racists know that they should not insult others with impunity.

These idiots still out there protesting...they need to get some education

what ah thing...you get insulted, you proceed to destroy your country...maybe people should insult them some more, they will end up wiping themselves out

 Dude, you will make all the excuse you can for what is complete ignorance in the name of Islam and that is the sin in all of this. It is the open neglect of good Muslim to address bad ones that ruins its public face. The film, idiotic as it is, extends to the extreme end of this continuum.

...or the bigots who don't live in high buildings anymore!

Muslims don't need to make excuses. The insult is directed at both good and bad Muslims. Reaction is different but there will be reaction. When people like to play with fire, one day they will get burnt.  Now the subways are plastering ads that the Palestinians are savages.

Well...some of those ME idiots do act like savages

I have a couple of questions about this whole controversy.

1. If it's all really about the movie, why didn't the protests start in June, when the movie trailer was released? 

2. The US government doesn't seem to have much to do with the movie per se (unless there is something to the theory that the film's producer, a former government informant, was acting as some sort of agent.) I can't help but wonder whether the demonstrations and riots are not motivated, at least in part, by the U.S. government's bully-boy "regime change" policy of picking another government to overthrow every six months or so.

I found an interesting commentary on Yahoo called "Is Anti-Muslim film a Hoax?"

 Who insulted whom? Do you think saying Mohamed married a 9 year old is insulting? It is a fact. Similarly with the accusation that he liked lots of women since he had lots of wives.

There are no details as to what he did to  the nine year old  if a dude married a 13 year old  today I would say he is a creep. If he had 14 wives I would see he is looking for work with beyond which he can aptly apply his skills.

Now Muslims have a ready explanation  to these things so why does that not suffice rather than the need to beat the explanation in the heads of others?

Do you think if I said Jesus consorted with prostitutes I would likely be killed walking by some Christians? That is the point.

I do not believe in Mohamed or Jesus. I think the first a schizophrenic and the latter a zealot with a god complex so why should your belief be more "sacred than mine"?

 Why would I have problems with what he said? If one can be assured that there is a methodology to ascertain what it is would cause one to anger then such a system would gladly be entertained.

Note what could be ascertained and what the gentleman also did not condone was voices of malice and habit of predatory marching with the sole purpose to cause mayhem to official residences of emissaries of foreign nations. I am certain he does not condone that.

The turmoil in the ME have little to do with the movie.  What you are seeing is a break out of passions due to the general situation in the Region and the state of the Palestinians.  The muslims are watching the "hope" in Obama fading rapidly as he himself steps up attacks against Muslim groups and regimes which the US don't like.

They watch as the Israelis continue to do as they wish to the point where today US politicians, even Obama and the Israelis are talking about taking the whole of Jerusalem for Israel.  They watch as the US and Israel plan to take down the last real Islamic power still standing, Iran.

Muslims are very frustrated as political hopes fade.  Obama will prove a catastrophic failure for the people of the ME.

Have to agree with you.

Same here.

The more Muslims themselves chant the film as the reason for their anger, the Israelis and Neo-Cons in Washington are cheering and laughing.  It makes Muslims look irrational, frivolous and a bunch of ignoramus when infact there is a ligit and real issue in the background which is really driving passions.

The problem you have, no one in Arab leadership wants to float this as it then forces the question, what have they been doing all these years building relations with the US and Israelis.  The Saudis, and to a lesser extent Jordan, are the chief culprits cooperating with the destruction of Sadaam, sponsoring anti-Shia terrorism in the region and now sponsoring the Syrian conflagration.  The Sunnis powers are now consumed with their desire to bring Iran down that the Israelis and neo-Cons could do and say as they wish with virtual impunity.  Nothing will change for Arabs/Muslims, they will be chanting this crap for the next 50 years while Israel and the US own the region.

People are stupid.  The Israelis and Neo-Cons know just how to keep them occupied on such frivolous issues while they lose corn and husk in the ME.

So when is the sequel coming out?

How in the world does a group stupid inclination to defend the absurd, "respect for their religion and prophet" by forcing it down the throat of others be reduced to machinations of anyone but themselves? If some Muslims feel the teleological ends of their religion can be buttressed by violence and all manner of wicked deeds that is their burden.

D2, you are one ignorant sucker. This is oldest tactic in the book. There is a huge overlap between military/intelligence work and anthropology, as geopoliticians seek new ways to manipulate groups based on their cultural or religious profiles. This is the story behind the "Great Game," Lawrence of Arabia, and countless other episodes. It has reached the point where there is now an organization called the "Network of Concerned Anthropologists" that is protesting the use of their discipline for military/intelligence purposes.

  What is at work is an industry of perceived oppression being leveraged and sold liberally in the name of injustices against religion. I do not need to get into the conspiracy industry to explain this one or rely on Larouche indoctrinated  morons in the business of building epicycles to explain what is  self explained.  Everyone from the mullahs to the fellaheen say they are offended by insults to Islam so seek retribution in violence against the offenders.
