Pakistan's PM: 'Not about freedom of expression, this is more about hatred'

Pakistan's Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf has condemned the anti-Islam film that mocks Prophet Mohammad, as the nation holds a government-led day of protest.
An attack on the Holy Prophet is an attack on the core belief of 1.5 billion Muslims. Therefore, this is something that is unacceptable.
Let me make it absolutely clear: this is not about freedom of expression, this is more about hatred, and it also demonstrates blatant double-standards.
If denying the Holocaust is a crime, then is it not fair and legitimate for Muslims to demand that denigrating and demeaning Islam's holiest personality is no less a crime?
In this context we appreciate those in the international community who have joined Muslims in strongly condemning this outrage."
