    The Arab Summer has started, and predictably it's a drought.

      "Freedom of speech does not warrant desecrating sanctities," Gomaa said in a statement Sunday.
      Yes, it does.

          Well at least Mubarkek government was booted out.
          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

            I'd argue that the very idea of freedom of speech warrants desecrating of all sanctities, lest everything be sanctified and thereby beyond criticism.

                I'm curious where physical destruction of property falls within the realm of protected free speech.

                  There is both wisdom and cowardice in that saying.

                    Destruction of your own property or someone else's? If it's yours, then it's protected. If it's someone else's physical or real property, not protected. If it's an idea, then parody and satire are allowed.

                      The quote was referring to some newspaper hating on muhammad IiRC not the storming of the embassy.

                        Al Ahram online says the film is reportedly being produced by U.S.-based Coptic-Christian Egyptians, including Esmat Zaklama and Morees Sadek, with the support of the Terry Jones Church in the United States.

                        Jones is the evangelical pastor who stirred controversy last year by threatening to burn a Quran in public.

                        CNN says the film in question is a Dutch production.

                        The AP says clips of the film available on YouTube show the prophet having sex and question his role as the messenger of Godâ??s words.


                        The Grand Mufti of Egypt Sheikh Ali Gomaa strongly condemned the movie, AllAfrica.com reports.

                        "Freedom of speech does not warrant desecrating sanctities," Gomaa said in a statement Sunday.

                        They attacked embassy because of the movie.

                            Jones supported the movie, his only connection to the article.
