This sentence is pretty harsh, but I would not have made a bad video about a country that I was still in...especially in the middle east.

The Arab Spring started there and failed miserably! Free Speech is not a right embraced by all countries.

If you are going to make such criticism, do it from the safety of your home country, if free speech is a right there.
