Unfortunately, some people hide behind "freedom of speech" rights to incite hatred or violence.
And then they expect the law to protect them from consequences of their actions.
The people who posted the video shouldn't be afforded "protection" by the state for actions that put them in jeopardy.
If you want to play the fool..............suffer the consequences.
The Middle East has their own culture.
We may not like it........or approve of it.......or condone it..........but it isn't for us to decide.
By the same token, anyone who wants to live in Canada, should abide by our rules and culture.
No exceptions.........end of story.
Don't like it..........don't come.

How far would you take this? No protection for Salman Rushdie when an Ayatolla puts a price on his head? There are several prominent Muslim women who've received death threats for criticizing some aspects of their religion. No protection for them either?
In countries with terrible leaders and high youth unemployment these extreme overreactions are a great tools for these awful leaders. All they need to do is have someone draw some stupid cartoon or something and distract these unemployed youth into using up their energy smashing things burning flags and screaming at someone else instead of them.
Ah, like Occupy Wall Street.
Prominent and very courageous I might add for it's easier to stay silent than to speak the truth, but when does silence solve anything?
And not only Muslim women, but also Muslim men and non-Muslims as well, have been threatened for trying to help and make a difference in the lives of millions, for example the late Theo van Gogh, who was murdered by a fanatic for making the film 'Submission' in association with Ms. Hirsi Ali, who lives under police protection in Denmark.

How many of them, men and women, blew themselves up?
Ah, like Occupy Wall Street.
Last week, a woman blew herself up in Afghanistan as payback for the anti-Islam film, killing 12, mostly foreigners. Not only are women being recruited as suicide bombers, but also children. I also noticed many of the demonstrators of the last 2 weeks were women.

I recall listening to Lowell Green when we lived in Ottawa.......a Muslim woman caller mentioned that a local Imam had received a number of threats due to his 'moderate' stance......it doesn't just happen "elsewhere".
The OWS are just there for the aforementioned "smashing things burning flags and screaming". ;-)
Shades of the Chechen "Black Widows".
