The following video called "Fitna" by Geert Wilders, a politician who is against immigration, was posted on the Internet and combines images of terrorist acts with readings from the Koran. And there was a cartoon publication that sparked violent protests two years ago. It is very controversial because it is extremely critical of Islam. And it could set off violence. However, he has a right to speak freely in a democratic society.
Here is my question:
Which one do you believe is more important, freedom of the press and expression or public safty?
In my opinion, when we deal with religion, not just multiculturalism, we must be tolerant and wait for them to be more civilized. And if the freedom of speech threatens people's lives severely, it can be confined. If we understand that their religion is more important than their lives and be more tolerant, we can live in harmony in near future, I believe.

Your movie clip made me very shocked and sad. Hating each other, killing others who don't agree with them and delivering those beliefs to the next generation.... it's so hard to watch. Saint, it's painful...
I believe there should be the freedom for the press or expression. We have the right to tell what we want to speak. However, we must respect others' culture and idea. As it is different with our culture, it doesn't mean that it is wrong or humble thing. It's only different from ours. If we admit the difference, we can be tolarent. In terms of the freedom for expression, we shouldn't ignore or attack others. We don't have the right to blame or kill others because of difference. I agreed that the freedom of expression should be protected first. But people deal with that kind of thing. So we must have reasonable mind before expressing something.
Hi, Saint.
Only humans kill each other for their religions. It is really miserable. However, it won't end up until the end of the world unfortunately because it is destined to be so by the Providence of God.
