This should not be made an excuse for action of Muslims across the world.

I don't know that anyone in the West has stated that the video excuses the actions of the minority of Muslims who reacted by comitting crimes. It may or may not have provoked them to respond as they did, but it is not an excuse.

Blaming the video is making it an excuse.

But you're right, it is not an excuse. Free speech should be countered with more free speech, not violence.

I watched the video and think it was made that way intentionally.

I think theres definitely alot more going on then we realise and there are people that know things that we are not seeing portrayed in the media.
The US govt has a long history of corruptive practises and I wouldn't put it past them, the CIA or some agency like that in the US to have some sort of involvement.. I've read about some dodgy things they've done in the past eg, MK Ultra, Cointelpro

Oh, so you're into conspiracy theories. How cute.

Now that we all have went and watched the trailer, when few had before, stupid. The religion of peace has violently objected. Just makes me all a-quiver with peaceful emotions. Falling on my knees weeping at the wonderful treatment done by Muslims about a nerd for a prophet. Whoops, I better watch it or some peaceful Muslim will show me how gentle and peceful they are.

I believe that the whole start up was an act of terroism and what better, oops, there's a anti Mohamed trailer we can get idiots worked up about.

I do believe that one day we will have a 3rd world war between the eastern countries and their religion of peace and the rest of us.

Gosh thanx. MK-Ultra and Cointelpro aren't conspiracy theories though (which I'm sure you would realise if you know what they are), hence why I used them as examples. Not so much into conspiracy theories, more into seeing the bigger picture.

Here's the thing, the bottom line, the video had nothing to do with the riots or the murder of Chris Stevens.

It was a terrorist attack. The White House is finally getting around to admitting it (finally). The video had nothing to do with it.

The White House just doesn't want to say what this was: a terrorist attack.

Remember, Obama was supposed to heal the great divide and all that other baloney. Fail.

Makes one wonder why anybody took it seriously enough to get mad.
Because any imagined reason is good enough reason for those who hate Americans. Why did the Obama admin apologize for it when Americans as a whole were not the ones who made the video, and most of us had never heard of it until the stink over it? Making an apology is like accepting responsibility for it. And I'm sure that's how the savages took it. When will Obama learn that you can't negotiate with savages?

Yes why did Obama apologize when it had nothing to do with the attack. And why did he and Hillary spend $70K in taxpayer money for ads in Pakistan apologizing for the video.

Reading a transcript of the ads, they aren't apologizing at all. And Freep, calling other people savages is a little disgusting. I have Muslim and Arab friends and acquaintances and I'm offended that you would slur them like this. Would you please apologize?

It is disappointing to see Christians politicising the murder of an ambassador.

It's not like there isn't any truth to the matter. Doesn't matter what was the cause, the end result is a few lives lost, and as I've said numerous times before, this bunk is just another reason we should seriously contemplate on being an isolationist country.

It would seem, and this is my perspective right now - that the terrorists who murdered ppl - were savage.
Do you equate your friends to this ilk?

"And the angel of the LORD said to her, 'Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Ish'mael; because the LORD has given heed to your affliction. He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.'" - Genesis 16:11-12

That isn't the impression I get at all. I see a situation in which the government is communicating with the populace of an entire country and Freep says Obama shouldn't bother with "savages".
