So….a film which uses the actual words of the Quran and the actual words of some radical Muslims against them and shows some of the actual violent actions of some actual Muslims is somehow….what? unacceptable? not being nice? Huh?
Why is being anti-something necessarily a bad thing? Would a Dutch MP be barred from the UK over an anti-racist film that used the words and images of white supremacist groups? So what about being anti-hate speech and anti-religious violence? That's somehow a bad thing?
