my point was that even in free country like America ...... the direcotr received threats to make the movie ...it shows ppl can gt aggressive when their ideology is hurt

Sniper, is this a new concept to you? How many presidents and politicians have been murdered in the US compared to other countries...

i am not talking of presidents deaths i am talking about freedom of expression without any repercussions........another guy who thought government was invoolved in 9/11 had to leave US as he was harrassed by both police, gov,media and ppl. same as muslim harass their renegades.

People receive death threats all over the world. Again, you are trying to hold the US some higher standard than everywhere else. The US has never claimed to be so wonderful and free that no one makes death threats. I'd hardly take a few crazy people wanting to kill someone who makes a film they don't like representative of how the entire US is hypocritical when it comes to freedom of expression.

Was the film released and not blocked by the US or other Western governments? Yes. That means the film maker has excercised his right to freedom of expression without any problems.

my point was freedon of expression without any repercussions

Sniper, there is no such thing. There are always repercussions for everything we say and do.

Kanelli,

As always you are absolutely correct. It is simply amazing how people do not understand the concept of freedom of expression.
