Is it 'only a video' or is it an insult to Islam?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRucxuOcF9M&feature=plcp

Have you heard about the protests in the Middle East because of a video called ''The innocence of the Muslim''? An American man made a film expressing his opinion on Islam, but unfortunately it was not a good opinion...The Muslim community in many countries took it as an offence to Islam.

50 people have died, in terrorist attacks or violent protests after the film.

The author of the video has been interrogated, but he cannot be arrested, because in the US there is freedom of speech.

Some people think this film is really an excuse for people to express their anger and frustration after suffering years of humiliation and violation under dictatorships supported by the US and the EU.

What do you think of this video? What do you think can be done to deal with this situation?
