or is it that you believe in freedom of speech only when that speech complies with yours?

Should I post more?

You can easily go to prison in Turkey if you insult "Turkey", it is part of your country's penal code in case you just woke up!
Again, showing a movie like that in Turkey will ignite unnessecary hate towards Americans, like the book Mein Kampf, which is a bestseller in Turkey against Jews:

And thank you for your warm invitation, but I would never step my foot in your uncivilized country.
