Free speech `red lines' feed Muslim film rage

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - In U.S.-funded ads running on Pakistani TV, subtitled clips show President Barack Obama extolling America's traditions of religious freedom. For many watching, though, the message misses the mark in efforts to calm the Islamic outrage over a film denigrating the Prophet Muhammad.

America's free speech laws and values of openness are not in question, but rather there is confusion and anger over how they are applied.

He’s been fed the lies all his life. He has nothing else. And isn’t smart enough to know the results of his actions.

They are cave-dwellers living in a modern world. They have no understanding. All they have is Islam and it’s cruelty.

Many things they do offend Christians. Muslims should apologize.

...and by the same logic, limit their own freedom. LOL

We shouldn’t be worrying about how mohammadens view us, they should be worrying about how we view them.

A lot of Progressives believe in utopianism. Very few believe it can be brought about virtually overnight or that they personally have some mystical power to make it happen.

0bama is mentally ill. Extremely so! I am not saying that in the pejorative even slightly.

It’s because he was raised by commies and has no basis in reality.

IMHO Americans need to shun Islam and all those who practice it until they join the civilized world. Their blood-thirsty history goes back a thousand years with no let-up.

I really think it's more than that. He gets his ideology from that early communist education but his anti-Colonialist savior-of-the-world fantasies are rooted in a deep seated mental disorder. His delusions are light years beyond those of any ordinary Progressive. For 0bama it's not about the world being saved by socialism it's about him saving the world with his vision of it.

I'm surer than I have ever been that his respect for Marxist philosophy is way below his reverence for his own brilliant mind and shining personality.

The homos in America better stop being queer or it might make moslums commit murder. Women should also shut up and cover up so they don't upset moslums. That's what I'm hearing from the cowards on the left. If we give just one inch we are done as free people.

It's more than marxism so it looks like mental illness. His anti-colonial behavior is based on "America is rich because it ripped off the rest of the world". It looks nuts until you talk to 3rd worlders who buy into it. They believe they have nothing because we took it.

What's even crazier is Obama has been given every advantage. He has NEVER lived "poor" Not even in Indonesia. Yet he empathizes with 3rd worlders.

It’s not his belief in anti-Colonialism that makes me think he’s insane. Although it is kind of nuts in a world where Colonialism is an historical artifact.

Okay. But I don't see him as crazy. Most liberals are lacking logic and reason and that makes them look insane. History alone should clue them in but it doesn't. You can talk a blue streak with proof and they'll disbelieve. For them, it's about what they "feel".

I think Obamas narcissism has been fed to him by his mother and grandparents. He has lived a charmed and privileged life. And he believes that he's "The One". He has been groomed by powerful people to be the destroyer.

Muslim rage originates from their religion.
