America stands for freedom

We live in a free country. Most people are not so lucky. Since the Arab Spring, Coptic Christians in Egypt have been experiencing persecution.

It is understandable that a Coptic Christian who is now an American citizen would make a video critical of Islam and their prophet. I have watched the video on YouTube. I think it is stupid. I think it is wrong. But Voltaire said it best: I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

America stands for freedom and no one should apologize for the freedom for which so many of our countrymen have paid the ultimate price.
