Pakistani Foreign Minister on anti-Muslim video: America should ‘rethink’ free speech
The Daily Caller ^ | Sept. 24, 2012 | Jessica Stanton

In the aftermath of violent protests across the Middle East and the slaughter of four American diplomats, Pakistan’s foreign minister believes the United States should “rethink” its commitment to freedom of speech.

“It is not good enough to say, ‘It’s free speech, it should be allowed,’” Hina Rabbani Khar said during an interview with CNN on September 20. ”I think if this does provoke action against American citizens or Americans anywhere else in the world, then maybe we do need to rethink how much freedom is okay.”

Khar said nations should come together in a “civilized manner,” to address the concept of freedom speech and how far it extends.

“I think what we need is more tolerance for each other’s views. What we need is to be able to give mutual space for us to be able to demonstrate what is culturally, religiously important to us and not to hold each other — not to judge each other for that,” Khar said.

“We really we have to be sensitive to religious sensitivities.”

Perhaps Pakistan should reconsider eating and breathing.

We should make a million insults and let Muzzies grow up and accept the rest of the world isn’t in their death cult.

OK, I’ve re-thought it. Now I’m re-thinking the supposed immorality of blowing our enemies away.

Pedophile-worshipping misogynistic goat-humping mozlims offend me.

Pakistan should rethink its adherence to Islam - any belief system that’s so insecure and so fragile that a third-rate youtube video is a threat to it is a belief system that’s as thin as Obama’s resume.

How many Mexican Catholics shall we send to Pakistan so that the Pakis can show their religious tolerance to the world? We have around 15 million extra.

This is perfectly acceptable to our Muslim Usurper, however, along the lines of junking our Constitution, can we rethink this whole restriction about not gassing and cremating an entire religion?

I'll bet real money that we can improve on the 2500 units per hour of Treblinka...

The time is long past that we should “re-think” our foreign aid programs. Cut them off. Now. They also need to go home, where the custom is “more comfortable” for them & they, naturally, have a say in the laws & customs..
I almost spit soda all over my keyboard. Civilized? Seriously?

Yes Imam Jakass, that’s the way we feel about our
Sacred Constitution, so get used to it.

I think what we need is more tolerance for each other’s views

At that point, logic got up and left the room.
