Especially in a country basically in a civil war?

This is going to get ugly fast.

U.S. PASTOR

U.S. pastor Terry Jones, who had inflamed anger in the Muslim world in 2010 with plans to burn the Koran, said he had promoted "Innocence of Muslims", which U.S. media said was produced by an Israeli-American property developer.

Jones, a pastor in Florida whose latest stunt fell on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, triggered riots in Afghanistan in 2010 with his threat to burn the Koran.

Many Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet as offensive and any depiction of him can cause furious protests in the Islamic world as well as among Muslims in Europe.

In neighboring Egypt, demonstrators had torn down an American flag and burned it during a protest against the film. Some tried to raise a black flag with the words "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his messenger".

The crowd of around 2,000 protesters in Cairo protesting against the film was a mixture of Islamists and teenage soccer fans known for fighting police and who played a part in the revolt that toppled Egypt's leader Hosni Mubarak last year.

Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church condemned in a statement some Copts living abroad who it said financed "the production of a film insulting the Prophet Mohammad", an Egyptian state website said. About a 10th of Egypt's 83 million people are Christian.

The fortress-like U.S. mission in Cairo is near Tahrir Square, where Egypt's uprising began and the scene of many protests since. Youths danced and chanted football songs. A Reuters reporter said they appeared to climb into the embassy compound almost as an afterthought.

"We sacrificed dozens and hundreds during the uprising for our dignity. The Prophet's dignity is more important to us and we are ready to sacrifice millions," said mosque preacher Mohamed Abu Gabal who joined the protest.

I personally think we should get truckloads of koran's and burn them daily. I don't have anything against the book personally but the guy has every right to burn one if he wants too. I also think you should be able to burn the bible, the book of mormon, an aclu pamphlet etc.

All I know is someone's dick had better get knocked in the dirt and fast.

He already addressed it in a public briefing, as did Hil-dog.

Glad he's on top of things. I hope the statement was stern enough.

After the incident in Egypt, the administration released a statement that apologized for hurting Muslim feelings.

Fuck Obama!

Initiate a disproportionately brutal response. When a U.S. Ambassador is murdered, many people have to die. Their innocence or guilt is not terribly relevant.

How do you want to accomplish this? Bomb thousands of un-related civilians? That has worked oh so well.

Um, no they didn't.


**** ignorant assholes that hate America, like you.

The Libya attack also created a political storm in the U.S. In a statement Tuesday about the film that was issued before the attacks on the diplomatic missions, the U.S. embassy in Cairo said it condemned "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims."

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind. ”
