Innocense of Muslims or Ignorance of the West?

Freedom of speech is a prized value everywhere. But is there a limit to exercising this freedom? Is it ever justifiable to ration this right to freedom of speech and expression? I think so. I think it is fair to curb speech that is racist in nature. One may inadvertently make racist comment, but this sort of comment is different from the intentional ones. It is also fair to curb speeches or expression that intentionally belittle other culture or spread lies. It is one thing to raise criticisms about other culture and practices and quite another thing to belittle or spread lies about others. The recent movie 'innocent of Muslims' does not come under the category of the former case; it rather amounts to belittling or spreading false information intentionally. And this sort of practice, I would consider, is to misuse the right to freedom of speech and expression. 

The controversy also raises other interesting features. In the name of freedom of speech and expression, certain people in the West produce such vitriolic materials. But if such materials is produced against gays or Jews in the name of freedom of speech and expression, I am sure loud protests would be registered. On the other hand we have Muslims who 'specialise' in more or less such double standard practices. The Muslims raise all sorts of hate speeches against the West or Christians' belief or similar parties, but go wild when others do the same about their belief. The Muslims consider that it is okay to convert others to Islam, but when others do similar thing to their fellow Muslims, they kill or try to kill. 

I am not for lies or belittling of others in the name of freedom of speech and expression. And I am also not for violent response to such inappropriate use of the right to freedom of speech and expression. And it is for this reason I am not in support of hate speeches against the gays or the Jews. But it is also because I believe in freedom of speech and expression that I consider that it is proper to engage in religious propagation, which may eventually see some people leaving their religious belief. The world can be much more violent if one exercises freedom of speech in an unlimited way. And the world can be much fairer if Muslims would allow non-Muslims to exercise their religious freedom as much as Muslims consider it their right to propagate Islam to other countries and cultures.
