A group of people believe the world is flat, should we respect that too and never make any TV programmes ridiculing it? A flat Earth is as fanciful as any god.
Probably more likely, we know the world probably exists.
Those mobs are using the free speech this country offers them to suppress the free speech of others.
They're a bunch of hypocrites and the only thing that's worse is people caving into it and allowing them to get their way.
If they want to live in a country that follows and rules by their beliefs than there is nothing stopping them moving to one. But whilst they're living here they should respect that the free speech offered to them is offered to everybody and they have no right to protest what other people choose to think and say.

I'm going to tell my wife her sister's a muslim, so I can take her photos down at home.
Not sure how much schooling was going on there to be honest.

I know what your saying, but i reckon some deeply religious white people in the usa would if was about certain things (I remember the top gear episode with man love OK, and hilary for president getting a hillbilly reaction).
That's not the UK though. The states is a nut jobs paradise.
And the issue is not white/brown/black/blue people. The issue is religion.
Cineworld panders to not getting murdered. If you are so in favour of showing this film, would you agree to project it onto the side of your house for everyone to watch?
The film makers have free Speech in order to make the film.
The people who are upset by the film also have free speech to complain about it.
cineworld was right to pull the film. They have a duty of care to their staff, if something happened to A staff member/staff members because they ‘made a stance’ would that comfort the families of those affected? people saying cineworld should show the movie, you rock up and volunteer to work their for showings of the movie? Have you thought that maybe Cineworld staff were not comfortable with it and they listened to their staff?

The protesters are welcome to voice their concerns, not intimidate the staff at a cinema to the point they have to pull it to protect their wellbeing/safety.
Where does it stop.
What a silly post.

You have made your bed, multiculturalists, lie in it. Day by day capitulation empowers them.
Do you know what specific threats were made by these protestors? Did the staff just feel uncomfortable due to protests outside? Protests often can be intimidating if you are on the receiving end.

They’re gonna be confused about where to protest when it’s on Netflix
As I said, a protest can appear intimidating if you’re on the receiving end. There is nothing to suggest that the protesters threatened people, the reports say they were shouting. That happens during a protest.
As I said, as much as the tories are in the works of banning it, there is still a right to protest in this county. I’d have thought that would be a welcome thing amongst the ‘my grandfather didn’t fight the Germans for us to not have a voice’ brigade. You’d think the right to protest would be applauded.
