x2. And I can’t believe how many people in the US I’ve heard saying the filmmaker should be brought up on charges. The man may be an asshole for making the movie, but freedom of speech is one of the pillars of American society. The blood is definitely on the hands of the people who, you know, actually killed other people over a movie.

The leaders of those countries too put out statements which makes one want to vomit:

Libya, West condemn Benghazi killings; Afghans blast anti-Muslim film - CNN.com

Check out the croonies from the muslim brotherhood as well as the afghan government on what they had to say! These guys want to criminalize any criticism of Mohammad and/or the Koran. "Anti US-Imperialism"? Nonsense. Denmark 2005 all over again. The country of origin doesn't really matter for these scumbags.

I find that this comment obnoxious and ask the Egyptian government to take a firm position toward this Prime Minister within the framework of international charters that criminalize acts that stir strife on the basis of race, color or religion.

Now some of these geniuses have stormed a German Embassy in Sudan. Because, you know, if an Israeli makes an offensive film in the United States, it's clearly the fault of Germans.

Indeed, here's a video:



It looks like after a while, even the guards were like "fuck it guys, do what you want". Makes you wonder, why even have diplomatic relations with the genocidal government of Sudan.

Plus, some investigations reveal that the filmmaker might not even be a Jew, nor an Israeli. I saw the 13 minute clip and it bored the tits out of me. Closed it like after 8 minutes through. But I nonetheless find it preposterous that the filmmaker should be the one in question.

Idiots, they got off easy just being tear gased. Should have just opened fire on their ass!! They wouldnt be so quick to throw a lil hissy fit over some petty anti islam film then. Have people not figured out America is not the country to mess with in any form or fashion? Directly or indirectly?This is the only kind of thing that worries me about the upcoming election. I could really care less cause both parties are repulsive, but what about when we need to react to something of this nature. If it were to escalate and rapidly. I would tend to lean towards the repulican side to initiate retaliation lot quicker than I would the latter. Who more than likely would just want to somehow resolve the situation by talking it out and throwing up peace signs.
I say withdraw our troops and diplomats and cut off any kind of aid or funding!!
