Free speech. Go away, Egypt. Doubt if that film caused anything...the Muslims were itching for a fight because yesterday was Sept. 11.

all this becaus of obama’s incompetent response.

just filing the suit will win points in the illiterate world of the arab nations.

just having it dismissed will win points in the arab world.

will the us court apply us law or sharia law?

I wonder if I can ‘take action’ against the NY Museum that displayed the crucifix in a jar of urine as ‘art’

Or at least let me show some of the latest artwork I saw- “Piss Koran” and “Elephant dung and Moh’”

I am looking forward to this lawsuit.

Let’s see, defamation of character of a guy that has been dead for centuries?

I would hate to be that judge. I would probably be removed for misconduct after I couldn’t stop laughing.

Your tax dollars FUNDED the artists, not just the museum. The ACLU is okay with tax money going to anti-Christian art.

They are silent today when Islamists CLAIM to be angry about privately financed protected works in foreign countries.

The protests were planned. The film is just an excuse.

OOH, wonder if they will act against the DNC and O campaign for their “Obama is dead/GM is alive” slogan.
Obama got Osama,,and the vows of retaliation by the Muslims were immediate...but,,let’s not hold the Dems responsible for anything.

We have free speech here, you diaper-headed louse.

We really should sue Egypt for arming and diverting our intercontinental Ballistic missiles to Cairo when we didn't want them to be used there.

You can sue for anything. You may not win, but until it gets thrown out, you force the defendant to pay lawyers.

Lawfare is another form of jihad.

If they sue, a counter suit should be allowed seeking damages for attempting to suppress free speech rights.

I just remembered that the "piss Christ" art was taxpayer funded through the National Endowment for the Arts.

How can a government that funded the mocking of Christianity, turn around and legally pursue someone else for mocking Islam?

The First Amendment protects them both.

I’m not averse to the idea, but someone here will say its “not the way we do things here”...

Maybe its high timne we started to fight back like they do.

Great poster and why I hope this lawsuit is brought to court. We need to keep this issue before the American people, particularly the mushy middle. The more effectively we define Islam as a backward idea laced with real menace the better.

Islam as an idea is antithetical to American values. Of course, so is liberalism, but they’ve wrapped it in compassion and hidden behind their media enablers. We can’t let Islam hide.

No, they don’t damage buildings.

I want all of their precious “antiquity” vaporized.

The Pyramids, Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, etc. Hit that world where it hurts the most.

Gone, rubble, dust.

I’ve never ever considered them all that anyway. Western Civilation did it right, the Pharoahs didn’t.
