Here is the statement issued, I'm not trying to take it out of context, but I want to see what people think of the statement.

Mr Hussein Elham said freedom of speech should not be used as a cover for attacking moral and religious values. Do you agree/disagree. Why?

Here is the back story of the quote.
The Iranian government has intervened to try to stop the screening of a film in the Netherlands about the Koran. The Iranians say that the film, by the Dutch member of parliament Geert Wilders, is offensive. The Iranian justice minister, Gholam Hussein Elham, wrote to his Dutch counterpart, Ernst Hirsch Ballin, calling for a ban.
