      The controversial anti-muslim video that his been enciting countless riots and protests accross the middle east has now been cause for debate in the UN as it is considering enacting an anti-blasphemy law. From the western world this is not being met well; as the U.S. government refused to demand the elimination of the video, insulting Mohamed, they will not stand to have their first amendment, the freedom of speech impeeched. Anger from the muslim community with the world is bumping heads with the Americans; as serious as murders at embassys, though many peaceful protests have ensued also. The debate is whose rights must be protected and how should the UN respond to bullying on a global scale?
