U.S. Ambassador Killed by Terrorists in Libya

[Hardrock69]

Personally I think the film should be broadcast permanently 24/7.

I think people should make films, posters, art work, etc. depicting Mohammed fucking goats in the ass, being ass-raped by big well-hung Arab men, licking dog's assholes, or all of the above.

Once again I marvel at the little children who throw temper tantrums because that idiot Mohammed got insulted.

Christians at least have the maturity and intellect to NOT go apeshit when someone says Jebus was just a human being.

I think John Lennon might have argued that with you. The main reason the Beatles stopped touring after 1966 was because they got too many death threats from the "Christians" down south who were offended at his accurate statement that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus" at that moment.

The slightly less crazy ones just burned their records instead......

If you give it a little thought, you realize that religion has never really had a problem with murder. Not really. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason. - The Great George Carlin

ALL religion isn't horrible. Buddhism and sikhism are good religions. And even hinduism.

Are you really this fucking dense, or is it an act? Sikhism is rampant with violence. The recent shooting at a temple in Wisconsin is a prime example. Police in Vancouver have been dealing with violence at Sikh temples for decades, including the Air India bombing in the '90's which killed hundreds of innocent people.

Anyone got a link to this supposed "Mohammed Movie"?

[Hardrock69]

Ford, you are right about that, but the Christians did not riot and then kill the ambassador from the UK.

For them to be offended was incredibly mild compared to the infantile Muslims these days.

I think there most definitely SHOULD be a "Draw A Cartoon Of Mohammed Day" as a GLOBAL holiday.

You're only saying that because you don't know about the evil done by them too.

I would say relatively speaking, it is the ATHEISTS that are the least violent sect on this planet.

Have to agree with you on that one. Of course, there are the idiots amongst us, like any group; but, we tend to be less judgmental and more tolerant.

I respect people's spiritual beliefs, and don't dis them for whatever helps them get through life. Some, I pity....

I've met many Muslim people, including a young woman that just recently escaped the Taliban. They don't like the extremists, or the backwards way of thinking. But they don't get in the news, so many don't even realize they exist. Consider what the scenario would be if it was only extremist Christians that were seen in mass media...

[jhale667]

Yeah, just had to rip a dude for making a stupid comment generalizing muslims...asked him if he knew any personally and of course he didn't... there are idiots of all faiths.

[Hardrock69]

Agreed.

A vast majority of Muslims are just average people who want to worship as they see fit, and get on with their lives.

Same as most Christians. Most Jews. Most Sikhs.

But this begs the Golden Question:

If Muslims hate extremists so much, why do they not issue fatwahs against them?

Why was a fatwah never issued against Osama bin Laden? He would have been taken out pretty fucking quickly if that had happened.

Seems youtube has blocked the video, called "Innocence of Muslims" in Libya and Egypt:

NEW YORK (AP) — YouTube has blocked a video attacking Islam's prophet Muhammad in Egypt and Libya, where angry protests were sparked by outrage at the video.

Ultraconservative Muslims enflamed by the video stormed the U.S. embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and replaced an American flag with an Islamic banner. Later Tuesday evening, protesters in Libya burned down the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, killing the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three members of his staff.

The 14-minute video is a trailer to an amateurish, low-budget movie titled "Innocence of Muslims," which depicts Muhammad as a feckless philanderer who approved of child sexual abuse. Muslims find it offensive to depict Muhammad in any manner, let alone insult the prophet.

YouTube has elected to leave the video on its website, saying it doesn't violate its policies, but has blocked access to it in Egypt and Libya. The Google-Inc. video site took the unusual step Wednesday of publicly commenting on the video, a practice it typically eschews.

"We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions," YouTube said in a statement. "This can be a challenge because what's OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere. This video — which is widely available on the web — is clearly within our guidelines and so will stay on YouTube. However, given the very difficult situation in Libya and Egypt we have temporarily restricted access in both countries. Our hearts are with the families of the people murdered in yesterday's attack in Libya."

The video was uploaded on July 2 by a YouTube user going by the name Sam Bacile. After sitting dormant and largely unwatched for two months, it was dubbed into Arabic and excerpts gained airplay on TV networks in Egypt, enraging ultraconservative viewers.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday condemned the attack in Benghazi and ordered increased security to protect American diplomatic personnel around the world. He pledged to "bring justice to the killers who attacked our people."

"We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," said Obama. "But there is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence, none."

Probably the same reason most abortion-clinic bombers don't get ratted out by their fellow Christians...or the WBC hasn't met an untimely end under questionable circumstances...

That's a drop in the sea. Sure incidents occur everywhere, but their fundamental base is very anti-violent if you compare to the bible and koran.

One can almost envision a huge group of Southern Baptists storming the Libyan and Egyptian embassies in the US wearing KKK table-clothes and replacing their flag with the Confederate flag...

So that's what we're doing tonight after prayer service...
