Regarding the comment by the US Embassy in Cairo

We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

I am a little tired of the assumption that religious beliefs are so fragile that just about any idiot with a cell phone camera and access to YouTube can hurt them. Free speech means that one IS FREE to be critical, make fun of, satirize, or even miss-inform about any religion. This is not abuse of free speech and this has repeatedly be upheld by our courts. I don’t feel the US State Dept should be balance free speech on a teeter-totter against bruising someone’s religious beliefs.
