Trailer for movie caused Islamic riots

[interpreter]

The 7th head of the beast has raised its ugly head again.
Muslims hate us mainly because we are the chief supporter of Israel.

Thank you.

Apparently this story is exclusive to the The Independent UK.

The 'movie' (and I use that term loosely) is only a flimsy excuse used to justify what was already organized well in advance.

Agreed, but the news keep saying it's because of the movie. Maybe so they could harass the family or higher ratings or both.

It is an offence against decency and civilization itself if you start killing innocent people because someone, somewhere else made a movie that offended you.

Amen

I can't believe so many of the comments here are discussing the movie. The maker of the film, whatever his intentions, did nothing wrong. Neither did Salmon Rushdie, the danish cartoonist, or the preacher who burnt the Koran. You can claim the filmmaker is a bigot, you can call him ignorant, you can say the film is tasteless or disgusting, but the man did nothing wrong in making it and posting it. I'm aware using a computer might be a violation of his probation, but that's an entirely different issue.

The only ones wrong here are those Muslims who have attacked or are attacking US citizens on US soil.

I don't hate you or any other Christians; I can give you at least the names of 500 Muslims who feel the same way. We just disagree with your unbiased support of Israel.

Yeah not an Israel fan myself.

It's like anything, it's always the loudest, most obnoxious people who get the most attention who ruin it for everyone.

I know, I just heard on the news how a large group of Muslims stood up and condemned these people. The channel was umm, er...look a squirrel...

As for the unbiased support, that seems a little bias IMHO. But it does remind me of a quote:

If Arabs put down their guns, there would be peace in the Middle East.
If Israel put down their guns, it would cease to exist.

False? Maybe, but if a country's mission is to wipe them out, I'd tend to err on the side of caution. What this has to do with a bunch of wackos is beyond me.

I'm going to go feed my dog Muhammad now. The interesting thing is if you were to name your dog Jesus, I'd think it was awesome, maybe one day when calling him the real one would show up, but I wouldn't support any one who wanted to kill you for it, nor would I want to be quiet about it.

Not all of us kowtow to Israel.

So true.

 

[Svt4Him]

Oh by the way for those asking, Muhammad is doing great. He was left in the car too long in the heat, but his diaper helped and he really knows how to use a bottle. Someone was going to complain but I left a note on the door saying Muhammad is watching you and they all ran away. Want a picture? Google Danish cartoons, it's at the top of the list.

I think Muslims need to get over it. People in this world will express their views on religion, reacting like mindless primates won't change that.

 

[Billnew]

Yes,
the awful movie might have caused the riots,
but the embassy attack was planned.

How many riots have rocket propelled grenades, and machine guns?

Are you sure of that? Last I heard, they were having some trouble finding evidence this attack was premeditated.

No evidence deadly Libya attack planned - U.S. official - CNN.com

Sure, rpgs may not be commonplace in riots in the west, but neither are rpgs in general.

 

[Svt4Him]

CNN reported that? Well, case closed.

 

[Ana the Ist]

CNN reported that? Well, case closed.

....they aren't the only ones, ever hear of Google? I'm not going to post articles from everyone who says it.

The reason I chose CNN is because the blatantly biased right wing media refers to CNN as part of the "liberal media". Since it was liberals who made the claim (Obama Administration), I figured you would find it more credible if the "Obama loving liberal media" were the ones printing articles contrary to what information the Obama administration put out.

Of course, I understand that's a hard thing for some people to wrap their minds around. Why would the "Obama loving liberal media" put out information that seems to contradict what the Obama admin. is putting out? That's not very helpful is it? It's almost as if (though of course this would NEVER happen in reality) those folks at CNN are actually reporting information they find without trying to benefit a certain party or administration. It's almost like they're just concerned with reporting facts regardless of who they help or hurt. Crazy right? Actual journalism?

I don't buy it either, its all part of that grand liberal conspiracy to monopolize facts and reason. It's not just the journalists either, its anyone who deals in "facts" and "reality" like scientists and teachers. Anyone who really wants the truth should only listen to FOX news, priests, and Sarah Palin.

The only reason it was made was to provoke a vitriolic reaction from the islamic world. Do you think the Copts, Christians and Jews in the countries where the protests are have signed up for his crusade for freedom of expression? When it's their lives that are going to be directly affected by his actions.

I don't see people jumping to defend the rights of anti-semites publishing Holocaust denial material in Canada, if you do, you'd be arrested and charged with a hate crime.

This whole business is like poking a violent animal with a long pointy stick, then sitting back with satisfaction when it reacts.

If you want Muslims to respect your right to publish things, then it's by dialogue, education and respect not by insulting them and constant prodding. They aren't going to change over night and insulting them and their prophet isn't going to help either.
