Innocence of Muslims.

The link previously posted here to the "entire film" consists instead of a loop of the same scenes. That I can find, the entire film has not been released yet. Several times in his speech to the United Nations this week President Obama labeled Innocence of Muslims "hate speech."  From the scenes that have been made publicly available Innocence is well within the bounds of constitutionally protected free speech and could not conceivably be characterized as "hate speech," which the U.S. government can ban. The content of Innocence is no more crude than thousands of other films and it is certainly not a crudely-made film. It is pretty well done.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula the creator of Innocence is an Egyptian Coptic Christian, a group that has suffered extensively under Barack Obama's allies in Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood government.  Mr. Nakoula has now been jailed in the United States for violation of probation stemming from a 2010 bank fraud case. One of the conditions of Mr. Nakoula's probation was that he not use aliases, and he did in making this film. The arrest is a pretext, the U.S. government is going after Nakoula because he made Innocence. Obama is going to try to criminalize Innocence as hate speech in the U.S. Just such a proposal is before the United Nations now. Algeria is proposing that free speech be limited by the U.N. to exclude "denigration of religion."  Islamic countries have tried similar proposals before the U.N. for ten years. And today, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, called for a global ban on speech offensive to the Prophet Muhammad, saying such speech is  "a threat to international peace and security and the sanctity of life."  "If the Western world fails to understand the sensitivity of the Muslim world, then we are in trouble,"  Ihsanoglu is quoted as saying.  Ekkie, you're in trouble. This Westerner stands with Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, supports the content of Innocence of Muslims, congratulates Nakoula on making the film, and pledges to continue to offend Muslim sensibilities.
