Nothing but pictures yet on yahoo news or AP.
Al Jazeera has a bit more:
Quote:
Witnesses say an armed mob has attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi and set fire to the building in what they say was a protest at a film deemed offensive to Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
Just hours earlier on Tuesday, thousands of Egyptian demonstrators apparently angry over the same film - an amateur film produced by expatriate members of Egypt's Christian minority resident in the US - tore down the Stars and Stripes at the US embassy in Cairo and replaced it with an Islamic flag.
The two incidents came on the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks in the US.
Wanis al-Shari, Libya's deputy interior minister, said the crowd in Benghazi attacked the building and that the information was confirmed by the US embassy in the capital, Tripoli, on Tuesday.
sooooo somebody does a video, and the US embassy gets stormed?
:bang
Religious nutters.
Quote:
Egyptian activist Wael Ghoneim wrote on his Facebook page that "attacking the US embassy on September 11 and raising flags linked to Al-Qaeda will not be understood by the American public as a protest over the film about the prophet.
"Instead, it will be received as a celebration of the crime that took place on September 11," he said.
Americans on Tuesday marked the 11th anniversary of the September 11, attacks in which nearly 3,000 people were killed when hijacked airliners slammed into the Pentagon and New York's World Trade Centre and another was brought down in Pennsylvania.

The problem with Islam is that the socioeconomic situation of its adherence is so shitty. There are similar numbers of each as a whole but the only thing worse than a religious fundamentalist is a poor uneducated religious fundamentalist.
The majority of the western worlds christians do not really believe in the actual christian religion as it is written anyway. this is a good thing.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday criticized the Obama administration's initial response to violent attacks at U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya, as a campaign centered on the U.S. economy took a detour into foreign policy.
An American was killed in clashes at the diplomatic mission in the Libyan city of Benghazi as demonstrators protested what they described as a film that insulted the Prophet Mohammed. Protesters also attacked the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
The Romney campaign seized on an initial statement from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo in which the embassy said it "condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims - as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also issued a statement saying, "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. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."
Romney, who has made fixing the weak U.S. economy his central cause for defeating President Barack Obama in the November 6 election, was quick to pounce on Obama over developments in Libya and Egypt. Romney has long sought to make the case that the Obama administration has apologized for American actions abroad and says he would never "apologize for America."
"I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said in a statement.
"It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks," he said.
The Obama campaign criticized Romney for his response.
"We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack," said Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt.
Romney was also likely to weigh in soon on U.S. relations with Israel. Obama spoke for an hour with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday and the two leaders are believed to be at odds over whether to launch a pre-emptive attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Romney met Netanyahu in Jerusalem in July and has talked tough against Iran as he seeks to woo Jewish-American voters who traditionally support Democratic candidates.

That man is part of a very popular political/religious/social movement. The support for his "cause" is very strong and gets daily attention from the media and the political leadership. And while most of the supporters of the idea will not resort to violence, he uses that support as justification for his acts. Specially since there is a noticeable lack of condemnation of the idea, that brings out his acts.
This statement pretty much describes both groups. So I think a comparison is fair.
Yeah, you are blind. The question is why? Afraid of the truth or too narrow minded to really look into it?

Yes I do. The parallels are actually scary since both groups are freaking out because of a perceived insult to their faith based on an interpretation of a religious text.
To make things worse in this case you could argue that they are freaking out over a Mohamed cartoon/film that was made on purpose to provoke them. I don't think any woman is getting an abortion just to provoke the pro-lifers.

Actually I think that if someone did the math, the % of radical extremist in regard to the total number of followers of both religions would come fairly close to each other. Just because you decide to ignore large quantities of the Muslim population, doesn't make them disappear.
But all this talk about the numbers is beside the point of my original post. You are saying "our shit smells better, because there's less of it". Well it's still shit, it still smells and judging by the lack of condemnation of the violent act itself and the effort to find excuses for your own crazies the question is: Are you sure there's so much less of it?

....
That's a huge factor and if you put the whole thing into a historic perspective, comparison of the two religions is even easier (Islam is roughly only 1400 yrs old).
Look at the Romney comments strong condemnation of the attacks and not a word about the nutter who worked very hard to create the situation.
The attacks on the consulate and embassy are inexcusable and the US has all the right to demand criminal prosecution and financial retribution for them. Falling for a stupid (and talentless) provocation is idiotic, but not addressing the fact that a fellow American and fellow christian went out of his way to create that stupid provocation is at least irresponsible and sends the wrong message.
Hillary's comments are spot on.
And finally I think that the film should be protected by the first amendment - that I consider a major achievement of the western civilization. But while I defend your right to say anything that doesn't mean I agree with it and even less that I like it - and we should take advantage of our right to free speech to clearly state that instead of arguing the numbers.

I'm sorry, but you can make any movie you want in this country. And fuck those who kill others because they are offended. There is no justification for killing and there is no blame to be put on the person who made the film. What happen to religion of peace, turn the other cheek, etc. etc. etc.
These people are very afraid of free speech because it will undermine everything in their very archaic culture.

Koran burner Terry Jones didn't create the movie:
Quote:
Anti-Islam filmmaker in hiding after protests An Israeli filmmaker based in California went into hiding after his movie attacking Islam's prophet Muhammad sparked angry assaults by ultra-conservative Muslims on U.S. missions in Egypt and Libya, where the U.S. ambassador was killed, along with three American members of his staff.
Speaking by phone Tuesday from an undisclosed location, writer and director Sam Bacile remained defiant, saying Islam is a cancer and that the 56-year-old intended his film to be a provocative political statement condemning the religion.
Bacile, a California real estate developer who identifies himself as an Israeli Jew, said he believes the movie will help his native land by exposing Islam's flaws to the world.

According to critical theory, it makes perfect sense. The point of the criticism is not to provide an objective evaluation of the behavior of adherents to each religion. The point of the criticism is to catalyze social change.
Or, in clearer terms, if you want to bring communism to the United States you have to weaken its traditional culture. So you relentlessly criticize Christianity because that is the traditional religion of the United States.
Meanwhile, criticizing Islam is at best non-value-added and at worst counterproductive to the communist cause.
1) Criticizing Islam usually involves criticizing nonwhites which would make whites look better by comparison; not acceptable.
2) Calling out Muslims for violence makes nonviolent religious people such as American Christians look better by comparison; not acceptable.
3) By lumping all religious people together, whenever Muslims blow something up you can blame Christians by association; excellent.
Those three points explain pretty much every communist's response to/apology for the latest news of a Muslim blowing something up or killing something.
Unless/until you are willing to call out American communists for what they are and devote your life to destroying them like our fathers and grandfathers devoted themselves in the armed services against global communism, then you deserve what happens. Kill or be enslaved.
I'm meh about these embassy/consulate attacks. The enemy is not al-Qaeda or any other Stone-Age goat fuckers. All they can do is little mosquito bites. The enemy is blue America.

I agree with this. I am sick and tired of America being Israel's proxy. England used to get its colonial troops to fight their wars for them, and I feel like that is how Israel has being using us for decades...and in return, they treat us like shit.

I have a serious question (for those who watch fox news) because I am having an argument with someone on my FB. Yesterday, as soon as each attack happened, she posted a link to the story and said "WHERE IS THE SOS?" (the implication being that they weren't doing anything at all). I responded that assumedly, Clinton and the Dept of State were shoring up defenses at other embassies and dealing with the fact that they had just been attacked. She then said she hopes so, but never knows what the SOS is doing. I said that I see stories on what she is doing/press conferences with her every few days. She then says that hillary is never on fox news (this tells me a lot, but my goal isn't to talk trash about the station right now).

Coincidence? I think not.
You actually think Obama is a "weak pacifist President"? What planet do you live on?
And that's not even addressing the ludicrous idea that not wanting to bomb every country that sneezes in our direction is somehow "weak," tbh....

That's terrible. Don't know about the security at these places. Obviously not enough.

This was a sub argument with some of this person's friends on the same FB thread. I don't think he is all that doveish. He widened the use of military force (drone strikes) to kill AQ leadership which set a brand new precedent for the use of such force, he breached the sovereignty of a country with which we aren't at war to kill OBL, got involved in the military aspect of the Libyan civil war, and sent more troops to Afghanistan.
I am not sure what else he could do to make himself any more hawkish?

A buddy of mine runs security (or part of anyway) for the US Embassy in Cairo. I imagine he is a touch busy right now, but according to him, that place is locked the fuck down, and in instances like today, they have fall back plans that gets everyone the hell out of there real quick like.
I would have thought Libya would be no different, but it looks like it is.
I also think, and maybe I'm being a giant pussy here, but I don't find it necessary to post pictures on this site of this cat's body being dragged around by a bunch of people that are better off dead.

Thank you for this. I agree
I was just trying to ignore it because I figured if I responded it would only embolden him to post more.

I stand corrected.

I don't know what Romney would do but this shit probably doesn't help Obama much less than 60 days before the election. Looks like Hillary is sticking it to him with the apologies.

Won't matter. Americans don't remember stuff beyond a week or two max.
