The tragic act that occurred in Libya could have been prevented had the producer of the video at the centre of the controversy decided NOT to promote and incite hatred. I have not nor will I watch the video. I am not a believer in hate mongering.
I find it very interesting that the media and government officials are down playing the making of the video as "freedom of speech" when they have taken the freedom of speech away from other religious and ethnic groups.
In writing my blog, and posting email that I receive, I try to avoid religious or ethnic conflict because I feel it serves no purpose other than to incite others and I believe all people are equal. There are extremists that walk amongst all religions and races, by dwelling on them we legitimize their acts of hatred and violence.
Even the Government of Israel is distancing themselves from this foolish act.
The producers of this video should be brought to justice for their act of promoting bigotry as should those who committed murder in Libya be brought to justice.
