Anti-Islam Film Banned from Lebanon

I understand that:
Tripoli's thugs were manipulated by some malevolent party into creating chaos.- Their move was disgusting.
Nasrallah used the film to to position and market himself as a reasonable, christian-respecting, restrained political chief, think elections 2013... His move while not disgusting, was self serving and manipulative.
so yes if you are only comparing, you are right.
However, I would like to see 100,000 chiite manifest for LEBANON for once. Not for Islam. Not against some stupid movie. Not for Assad. But for LEBANON. And we have enough causes to manifest for in our country. What about a manifestation to start drilling for oil? Or a manifestation to remove all palestinian and other illegal weapons? If they have all this energy to manifest, why not use it for something constructive?

Schizo Farsi BSThrower....take your two cents worth elsewhere.

FT hizb was not protesting the film ,but promoting themselves ..there is a difference

Schizo as always BSThrower voting yourself UP and others down for your usual self-stimulating thrill. Moron Farsi. What do you know about freedom of speech. To you and other stone-aged conditioned sheep freedom means what your supreme leaders allow you to mutter out during all these protests/gatherings. Pathetic and regressed to say the least!

Are you serious? The US and Canada banned the al-manar and other lebanese TV from showing in this part of the world on cable and/or satellite. How backward are they? Where is your freedom of speech?

Thank you.

Don't be fooled by Freedom of Speech in America (which is what I'm assuming you are comparing to). Freedom of speech ends up being our most contested right. Any hate Speech is protected, unless it involves speech beyond the First Amendment's protection like incitement to violence (There is a a large list of restrictions of speech not protrected by the First Amendment). I feel this Movie was made for the incitement of violence to occur, not in the U.S., but in the middle east. Sad to say it will be protected in the U.S., because there will be no violence or protests because of this movie.

Wow Farsi BSThrower....nice of you to share with us a personal phase of your life here. Sorry this explains it all why you such a demented schizo!

Their is no such thing as half pregnant. Free speech is free speech. As soon as we start making qualitative and subjective arguments like you presented in your comment we start on a slippery slope that invites a large breach in free speech whereby anyone can claim that some speech must not be allowed because it infringes on their dignity etc. according to their interpretation.
One can feel indignant, angry or a primal urge to kill etc., one is entitled to their feelings and no one can judge based on intent and feeling. However, one cannot and must not act on those destructive feelings. If they do, they are infringing on someone else's freedom which cannot be allowed in a democracy.
In short, if one believes in free speech then one must suck it up.

If someone made a movie like that, I'd just ignore it. I'm a civilised mature grown up, unlike you and 90% of the arabs.

Your comments are a reflection on you. When it is obvious your logic holds no water you resort to insults. Typical Aouni, HA followers' attitude. How shameful.

it's a legal business transaction (with some rules) for pleasure so it's all good ;)

Iran!!!

Iran !!!

This reaction and other acts aimed to defend God, is belittling God. It's like saying Allah Asghar, not Allah Akbar.

you're an idiot still living in the 20th century... its an amateur video. the internet is owned by us. we do what we want, the government can't orchestrate something like this.
