(34,179 posts)A hundred years or more. And you know what, it just isn't because of the fact that our citizens put out films that blasphemize their prophet, they have long been pissed because of virtually all the films the West puts out are degenerate in their eyes. They hate us for how we treat our women, how we are tolerant of all religions, our fashion sense(OMG bikinis), what they consider "loose morals", how we treat our LGBT community, on and on the list goes. These are religious fanatics, and they hate virtually everything about our society because it is not modeled after their society. They have wanted to kill Americans because of that for a long time.
So the question becomes how far do we bend over to accommodate them? Stop producing all films? Dress our women in burkas? Kill the LGBT community?
Sorry, but we are a free and sovereign nation, with our own laws, and societal norms. If they can't handle that, that is their problem. We should not change our society or laws to appease a bunch of religious fanatics.
