Apparently an American made a video depicting Mohammed getting his dick wet.

The same dumbass who was going to hold a "koran burning party" in 2010.

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 was looking for a thread on this topic, was really suprised there wasn't one.

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.

[andy7171]

I'm sure the president will issue a letter frowning on this development.

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.

[Grizalltheway]

Oh, and Mitt the Clit wasted no time in trying to score political points from this. Shocking.

[grizzaholic]

Never happened. It is a conspiracy made by the US government.

[CitadelGrad]

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

Fuck Obama!

Curious - what do you want him to do?

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.

Perhaps something along these lines:

"Attacks on US sovreign property will not be tolerated. The murder of US citizens acting in an official capacity will not be tolerated. We will hunt down the indivduals and/or groups responsible for this outrage and kill them. We hold the governments of the countries who allowed this to happen responsible and hereby put them on notice that they are to secure these areas immediately and turn over the murderers to us immediately because if we have to come do it it will be harsh, fast, and brutal.

We will not apologize for a US citizen exercising his freedom of speech, regardless of whether it is foolish or not and regardless of whether some terrorist thug likes it or not. There is no excuse for murder of a diplomatic official in any instance. This behavior will not be tolerated and the perpertrator will be brought to justice and face the full force and anger of the american people.

God bless the victims and God bless America."

[dbackjon]

That would work -- Reagan?

Carpet Bombing

[Wedgebuster]

Romney needs to shut his fucking retarded pie hole here, what ass boil thing to do, without any facts and with a volitile situation hanging in the balance.

Guess war after war is what we have to look forward to in the unlikely event we actually elect this shit freckle.

[bluehenbillk]

There is like a 13-minute trailer of the movie on youtube if anybody is interested in watching it....

**** Obama!

Um, no they didn't.


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

Unfortunately, it turns out that we did issue something of the sort...

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."

http://abcnews.go.com/International/amb ... d=17215154

Granted, the White House has since stated that they never approved that message to go out and that they had nothing to do with it, but they didn't disavow that message for some time.

I like the statement Hillary Clinton had on the matter:

“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. ”

That's a much better response than the embassy in Cairo's response. IMHO.
