Something different...

Since we have both writers and filmmakers here at SS, what do you think about people rioting because a film that offends Muhammed? Should we take their feelings seriously enough not to make films like that or should we as creative people write/film whatever we feel like?

It doesn't sound like the guy was a real film maker. He was someone stirring up trouble, and the whole thing turns out to be very mysterious too.

It's his right to make the film. And shame on people who murder and riot and invade embassies because of one guy's unknown youtube video.

I personally would not make a film that's only purpose was to stir up violence.

But I respect anyone's right to make whatever film they want. And ironically the people rioting are just confirming the opinion of the film makers.

I agree with you.

I'll tell you, in my town, Gainesville FL, we're getting pretty tired of Terry Jones! I drive by his church every day. It's three miles from my house. Everyone has the right to free speech, but how many people have died because of him spouting off and burning the Koran?

Pia,

There's lots of crazy, fucking people out there. Those fringe lunatics that the world would be better off without. Terry Jones certainly fits into that category.

Seriously, three miles away?

Yeah, that Jones guy, hopefully he'll get real justice in the next life, if there is one.

We're on a roll, Kev! I agree with you. *Steadies hand for a 5...*

Totally support the guy's right to make the film, but find it disturbing he sets put to offend people. He's no filmmaker, but simply an attention seeker.

Try and find an article from yesterday's London Evening Standard by a guy called Ed Hasan (I think that's his name - on phone at min, but will post link later if you can't find it) that argues the film is wrong, but so is the ridiculously disproportionate response from rioters who need to wise up and realise criticism is a two-way street. Muslim extremists like to criticise the West but cannot accept it back. Unfortunately, lost amongst all the story is that of the locals who helped out. Really great article.

And that Terry guy is a hoot - someone should write a script about him!

Yep, I see him every now and then at stores and stuff. He's tall and skinny. likes to wear jeans, boots and biker shirts...

I was behind him in line at Subway after the koran burning incident. I was so mad and wanted to say something, but I didn't. Neither did anyone else. People here are starting to get really tired of him. At least he didn't get any attention from media when he had a lifesize Obama doll hanging from the gallows right in front of the church. Btw, his stupid church is in the middle of a neighborhood!

Over a film? Are you insane? These folks don't have enough money to buy food thanks to the world wide inflation caused by central banks trying to save their fellow Banksters and Deficit Addicted Governments. One in million saw the film.
