"Opinions have consequences"? Really? Violent ones? No, as a matter of fact, they don't. We have the right to opinions. Our society's very core is based on the notion that people have a right to their own opinion.
I don't disagree with you that it's totally unfair and tragic that innocent people are getting hurt. However, the only people responsible for that are....the ones actually doing the hurting.

Everyone (at least here) has a right to an opinion, but that doesn't mean that magically people don't get offended and take action in return. I guess I'm just tired of people saying or doing something inflammatory, and then running away. It doesn't matter what the laws are....actions have consequences. And the consequences here are that innocent people are dead, and more will probably die.
There is no excuse for violence, but at some point this aggressive behavior has to stop on both ends. There was no other reason to make this movie than to insight a violent response.
Would this guy have made this film if he was living in Israel, and there was no US support behind his country? My guess no. It's easy to run a big mouth when you have a bodyguard though. Take away the safety net, and everyone stars smartening up.
