That said, it should not be removed.
I thought it was hilarious.

I disagree. Being close to friends of mine that happen to be Muslim, I understand the movie was made with inflammatory purposes. But it should not be taken down.

Who cares? It's a bad movie with hilarious dialogue.

I get offended every day by attacks on Christians and Conservatives, but it's a part of living in a free society. I don't see anyone vilifying those people who attack us.

Interesting point. So who you think should decide what speech is going to invoke a negative reaction? Take care.

The attack in Libya was an al qaeda surrogate attack that had nothing to do with the movie, but everything to do with 9/11.

The movie is a non issue. Apparently when the Cairo embassy posted it's stupid tweet, the trailer only had 155 views on youtube. Something smells.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

For the record, I think it's great. Freedom of speech wins yet again.
Youtube is full of anti-Christian videos. If they removed the anti-Muslim videos they would have to be consistent.

Thank goodness our Constitution doesn't agree with your definition of free speech.

then you miss the Point of what freedom of speech is all about and why do you need to have Govronmant Censorship to pick and choose what people are allowed to Read or what Video's they choose view or not view on Youtube.
