Here we have something fairly similar: a harmless movie which is purely fictional generates a totally out of proportion response (boycotts, hunger strikes, protests) that results in the movie being banned from at least two countries - so far - and yet there is no similar Western outrage to these christian protests that are limiting freedom of expression in the countries that have banned this film as a result.

Simply astounding. Do the protests against TDVC come anywhere near
these messages or the same extent of violence, destruction and deaths that were a result of the Mohamed toons?
