Dastardly Nakoula Basseley Nakoula


Dastardly Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and his dastardly produced film Innocence of Islam deserves all the condemnation he gets.

Hillary Clinton in order to negate the clamour for justice by Muslims everywhere invoked the freedom of speech and expression cliché. This so much bandied about, abused, and ridiculous mantra is hoisted each and every time to stifle the voice of oppressed Muslims, and even democracy itself, if it doesn’t suit the U.S Governments flavour.

Now it’s clear that the actors themselves were duped and one of them is suing not only the producer of the film but Google as well for uploading such gutter trash. This particular Nakoula is despicable.    

Does freedom of speech also mean the freedom to shame and ridicule other religions and the beliefs of other peoples?

If that is the case, then it will mean that we are encouraging religious hatred and chauvinism which surely will invite a similar reaction.

Freedom must need to be guided by high moral values. There is no such thing as absolute freedom without the weight of responsibility thrust upon it. This applies just as well, if not particularly, to the freedom of speech and expression. If given carte blanche, without the guidance of knowledge and high moral values the consequences will surely by anarchy.
