2)Um..isn't Freedom of Speech one of the main reasons we're fighting in Iraq? And now you get pissed when someone excercises their freedom of Speech in Turkey? You can certainly hate the movie, but you also have to remember that this country has given a lot of people plenty of fodder over the years to make movies out of.

At least you agree it is a bad movie lol
I totally understand what you are saying, but Turkey does not have freedom of speech. They jail writers and journalists for speaking their minds, as I indicated earlier with many sources, but when it comes to anti-American movie, they have no problem of showing it. Try making a movie about the Armenian Genocide or try showing it in Turkey, they will put you in prison for life! See, this is my point, if Turkey is so concerned about the freedom of speech, then it should revoke its penal code which basically can jail a person for insulting Turkey's "Turkishness", no country on Earth, well except the dictatorship ones, has this kind of laws.
