The real issue is the violence that some sectors take when something comes out they do not agree with. And for reasons I do not fully understand it is very prevalent with the Muslim religion. Why is this movie any different then the Michael Moore movies that make fun of Christians? Calling the creator of the movie a "nut case" might be correct or not. But I still believe in his or her right to do it.

The problem is with whom the movie is targeted. This is about the same as walking into a movie theater with flaming red hair would be in Colorado. There is free speech but there are also words or actions meant to cause extremely violent emotions with their audiences. This does look like that kind of movie.
Doubt if many people would defend the right of someone to walk into a movie theater in Colorado with flaming red hair. Context is very important with respect to the right of free speech and its limitations.
