This issue may have been touch on in one of the " insert here has gone crazy threads", so forgive me if it has been mentioned, but maybe we can discuss it in more detail.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan wants the UN to develop international legislation to outlaw blasphemy. PM Ashraf ordered all internet providers toblock youtube in Pakistan.....all of it.

So if a bunch of nuts feel they can kill other people when you talk about their beliefs or God, should free speech by word and pen be limited. Obama and other leaders often tell us not to mock or talk about Islam. I understand trying to calm Islam, but should we care. There is much concern the upcoming Bin Ladin movie will cause more riots and death around the world.

I see many GOP members and Fox News host are saying the riots are payback because Obama keeps bringing up killing Bin Ladin and offending terrorist, causing them to do terrorist acts...

The good news for the Pakistani men is even though youtube was blocked, they still had access to porn via other sites.
