Anti-Islam Mohammed Film Creator Blames US For Lax Embassy Security In Ambassador’s Death, Says Violence Was Inevitable

So strange that the world has treated Jesus with so much dis-respect that they killed him, yet there is outrage about a film on Islam. People write trash about my Lord EVERYDAY , but, I also believe everyone has a right to believe as they wish. People have the right to reject your God, your prophet , just as they have rejected my God my Lord. all the way to the cross. The rejection or acceptance of a belief system is personal, not something to be forced upon someone.

Well put Delicia, but dis-respect is uncalled for in any case, especially on a subject as sensitive as religion, whether it's mine, yours, or any of the other belief systems in this world.

Delicia Dawn: dear, you "Christians" allowed your prophet to be dis-respected and insulted, your own people made fun of Jesus, they have made fun of all the prophets, but as muslims we respect our prophet and we don't allow such things, you have the right to choose your own religion and belief, but you have no right to attack or disrespect other people's beleifs…as Muslims we respect Jesus very much and we don't allow such horrible things to be said about him as well…can't we ask for the same in return? to have our beliefs respected? is this the "free nation" of america you speak of? that's not freedom my dear, that's being consumed by the mass media..you probably have nothing against muslims but because your media is telling you to hate on Islam you just do.

From your reply am I to believe you are approving of the carnage in response to the film that no one has seen in it's entirety. It seems you are as fortunate as I to live in a free nation. I see no veil on your photo. I see vulgar language on your page. Thank God for our free nation !

This guy is a criminal and should be treated as such. Holding dual citizenship of Israel and U.S, agitating fanatic Muslims against interests of this nation and causing death of descent people in favor of Israel. He is a traitor to this country and should be treated like one.

People must distinguish between respecting others' beliefs and respecting others' right to believe as they see fit, and distinguish between disagreement and disrespect (or respect and agreement). You can believe that Allah is the one true God and Mohammed is his final prophet and Christians will not tax, imprison, or chant "death to Mustafa!". They will disagree with you and at the same time respect your right to believe what you genuinely believe. Although Christians and Jews, like Muslims, ought to defend themselves when they themselves are attacked, God does not need us to defend Him against the disrespect or disbelief of others; God is terrifyingly capable of dealing with them on His own, and commands us to stay out of it ("Judge not …"). That is between them and God. Actually, if the Q'ran were not so explicit on the duty to kill blasphemers and unrepentent infidels, it would be appropriate to ask whether Allah is so powerless at working justice or his pride so easily injured by the disrespect of mere humans who would be proven wrong in the end – if he is really God – that he needs his followers to do his killing for him? That is a paradigm that non-Muslims will never understand! That is not respect of others' beliefs, that is simply murder of those who disagree with you. American freedom is the freedom from being punished or killed for your beliefs. Sharia law and government and death at the hands of an angry mob are the exact opposite of freedom. We thank YHWH God, not Allah, for the freedom that allows you and I to worship freely in this place called America.

THANK YOU for expressing the TRUTH about "Islam." You are a Sister in Christ, indeed! – Keith

The most difficult for all humans is to repent of sin. First repent.

Nihal, How does the expression of one person (the guy who produced this film) justify the actions of a mob and their attacks on people who were un-involved with it all together? I couldn't care less which religion someone chooses to follow. But I take exception to those who would attack innocent civilians and call it a holy war. That's not war, that's cowardice. I won't try to justify the actions of some crack-pot director, but don't insult my intelligence by trying to blame the media for my disrepect of "religious funamentalists" who think that everyone should follow their god, or be killed. I don't need the media to justify my beliefs. Some moron strapping on a bomb and killing everyone around them is plenty. If this is their holy war, then why aren't their targets military? I don't try to force my beliefs down someone elses throat with threats and acts of violence toward others, let alone civilians.

I watched the part of the film , yes it is stupid and poorly made, but so is Jesus Christ super star, and all the atheistic books, But I am here to say, this is not for us to judge or revenge. This is for God to deal with. God doesn't need us, to storm into a embassy and kill people! Do you think I like when my God is brought down to hedonistic levels, no, but I'm not going to do more harm in God's name. God is love, God is mercy and most of all God doesn't need me to do anything he is omnipresent, omniscient… God is in control.

Nihal, I have lived in almost everywhere in the middle east. Although I have read your AWESOME Quran for 15 years and I have a degree in languages (just in cause if you tell me that I don't understand Quran), I'm from middle east and I know your people like the back of my hand. You're very fortune that you don't live in a Muslim country and I hope if you don't deny that. You can't justify what those Muslims did to the Americans in Libya. Use your freaking brains Muslims and leave the world alone!

I do not hate a group of people for their beliefs, I follow Christ and hate isn't part of our relationship. I love you Nihal and so does Jesus.
Fun facts:

"Allah:"

"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who

disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads

and strike off every fingertip of them."

(Qur'an 8:12)

Muhammad:

"Fight everyone in the way of Allah and

kill those who disbelieve in Allah."

(Ibn Ishaq 992)

Jesus:

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

(Matthew 5:14)

Why you hide your name? Isn't that act is similar to his? Anyway, whatever seen in these parts of the movie are taken from the Authentic books of Islam, so this is what books of Islam say about Mohammad, not the author's scenario.

Delicia Dawn Kouzeva About those quotes you took from Qur'ran..have you read the full verse? do you know the story behind it? no you don't because you only chose to believe what you want to believe, i respect your religion and i wouldn't be making a movie about jesus anytime soon.

"your people" " use your freaking brains muslims and leave the world alone"…well if you lived in the middle east you should know that that's not what islam is all about, as a previous commenter stated " allah doesn't need us to defend his religion" but all these Media consumed Comments made me sad of what the world has become to.. and i do live in a muslim country matter of fact in an extremist country but you don't see me cussing and have bombs wrapped around my body, the WORLD needs to leave muslims alone not Vice Versa.

Mr. Alan Carr well yes it doesn't justify the killing of the innocent…but sir, have you heard about the Burma Massacre? if you haven't it's about the Buddhists of Burma killing muslim population because they refuse to convert/ leave their religion…their only "Fault" is beings Muslims…what do you call that? is terror only related to ISLAM? does it only make your Times and Fox news if it's done by Muslim extremists? it's a propaganda sir, and media has already done the damage..you might not realize it but it did, the killing of the Ambassador was only a reaction of Extremists and as muslims we don't justify their actions and we don't concider them muslims what so ever, so please before you call islam a religion of terror try to understand the facts..the real ones not the ones you see or hear about.

Islam is the religion of the whole world, not for specific people…. Before Islam, Christian was. And Islam is the complement of religions that God sent us. And Holly Quuran is the last book that humans would need , cuz it contains every little details that we need. And thanks God i live in a Muslim country. you should always be proud of your country.

That movie was so aggressive to Muslims and it just gives a corrupted image about Isalm . The one who has produced such movie is really a freak and he just wanted to make an image of himself. On the other hand, i think the killing of the US ambassador in Lebia has nothing to do with this movie but if it has anything to do with it then i have to say that it is not the right thing to do and never will it be because Islam is far better than this!

Praying for our survival, "THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD BUT MANY FALSE PROPHETS"..GOD IS REAL AND HIS VOICE WILL SOON BE HEARD..AMEN AMEN AMEN.

Nihal H. Mustafa
1- We Christian DID NOT and DO NOT make fun of Jesus, but if someone does that we do not kill them for that.
2- What you said is not true: most Muslim countries do not allow Christians to worship there, and by the way – not only Christians ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS have to pay taxes (when they are not killed) just for being around. Check out what Pakistanis do to Hindus, or what Muslims do to Christians in some countries in Africa.
3- What if we decided to kill all "infidels" or bomb every Muslim country proportionally as you guys do to us? There would be no more Islam after 9/11. Thank God WE are the REAL religion of peace!

Delicia Dawn Kouzeva Unfortunately, you took a verse from a whole chapter and trying to make "Fun Facts" without explain and tell the whole meaning about what you cut …
If you don't know the right meaning and the occasion of this verse, so please let me help you

The Period of Revelation
It was revealed in 2 A. H. after the Battle of Badr, the first battle between Islam and kufr. As it contains a detailed and comprehensive review of the Battle, it appears that most probably it was revealed at one and the same time. But it is also possible that some of the verses concerning the problems arising as a result of this Battle might have been revealed later and incorporated at the proper places to make it a continuous whole. At any rate, in the whole Surah there is nothing that might show that it is a collection of a couple of discourses, that have been patched up together.

Allah commands the Angels to fight and support the Believers
Allah said next,
((Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed.'')

This is a hidden favor that Allah has made known to the believers, so that they thank Him and are grateful to Him for it. Allah, glorified, exalted, blessed and praised be He, has revealed to the angels — whom He sent to support His Prophet, religion and believing group — to make the believers firmer. Allah's statement, (I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved.) means, `you — angels — support the believers, strengthen their (battle) front against their enemies, thus, implementing My command to you. I will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied My command and denied My Messenger

So as you can see, these events were taking place during a battle. So there is nothing barbaric or mean about these verses, it is simply referring to a battle, and nothing barbaric was done in the battle neither these were how battles were fought back then.
And this battle was happened after

The causes of this battle:
The reasons for the outbreak of fighting in the Battle of Badr goes back to that the people of Quraish were killing Muslims for 13 years and then Muslims had to emigrate from Mecca to Medina, but Quraish didn't stop killing muslims for two more years after the emigration then muslims had to fight back. So, this battle happened after 15 years of killing muslims and targeting them.

The killing of the US ambassador in Lebia was completely wrong it was a crime, and it is not from Islam.
Islam is far better than this!

fuck th actor and all who involve to play with muslims heart and faith…God never forgive you..Allah do justice give punishment to all..Allah ruler of all of the whole world nothing other..and all who are killing innocent pepoles..fuck u.

"God doesn't need us, to storm into a embassy and kill people!"
Without justifying the violent agitation in Libya or elsewhere may I ask, "Does God want us to hurt others' belief and associated feelings intentionally?" The film producer knew how Muslims would react to the movie meaning he has committed criminal conspiracy and yet everybody is blaming Muslims, who given the gravity of the situation and producer's plan, were bound to turn violent. You will not intentionally violate laws if you do not want to put yourself or others in trouble. But what if someone conspire a sequence of events knowing all the bad consequences of any action he/she would take toward execution of his plot? By blaming Muslims alone we lose sight of the "cause" or "motive" of the situation and the underlying "intention" of the perpetrator.

I agree that agitations should have been peaceful and in the same vein condemn what happened in Benghazi. However, it is painful to see that many on this forum criticized violent agitation with sheer disregard to natural feelings overwhelming human beings when provoked. Obvious at the same time is a general unwillingness to comment on the fact that Muslims did not simply come out of their bedrooms without a reason and went into US embassy or elsewhere to show their anger over the blatant stupidity of a (or group of) crook(s).

I know many in the West are afraid of Israel and Jews. I also know many in the US, despite hating Jews, refrain from saying or doing anything against them as they can very easily be trapped under one or the other law favoring Jews; hate crime, anti Semitic, first amendment, a few to mention. The violation of these laws respecting Muslims in this case is also very much apparent. Is the making of a movie against Muslims’ belief not a hate crime, religious discrimination, humiliation of faith and attack on spiritual and emotional attachment? Likewise, showing a holy religious personality in a disrespectful manner also constitutes hate crime as well all know when and why we do that.

It is unacceptable that someone is allowed to make fun of others’ belief on the pretext that he/she has been doing the same to his/her own people/religion. No one is allowed to hurt feelings of Jews. Why should be Jews allowed hurting feelings of others with impunity? The laws criminalizing denial of holocaust exist in Europe and according to your definition or interpretation; they are not against freedom of speech. But when it comes to targeting Muslims or Islam, freedom of speech has no limits and it goes as far as to attack the source of Muslims’ belief. Yet, being inherently anti-Islam, many would not condemn or criticize these double standards. Why then uproar against Muslims’ reaction? Why not condemn the main culprit if we sincerely want the world to be a peaceful place to live? Discouraging bad things entailing devastating consequences should be/could be the best strategy to deal with issues like this. It is the same as we do to keep HIV dormant by applying measures preventing the triggering of disease as once the virus becomes active the disease gets out of control with many other complications.

Thank you for your reply Nihal. I agree with your view of the media, and the harm that can be created by reporting PART of the story. As it were, I do not watch the news, and am therefore somewhat in the dark with reference to current affairs. It is my firm belief that nothing changes in the news other than the name, place, and date. I would like to point out though, that I was careful not to criticize the Islamic faith. Only the extremists and or fundamentalists. I would like to believe that I'm above judging another faith, because a few fanatics choose to act barbaric. Further still, I am aware of the human condition that can and does create a mob mentality. We are only human after all. My only contention in my statement was that the mob decided to punish American citizens who were innocent of any wrong-doing in the matter at hand. I'll not judge a culture based on the actions of a few, but I find reference to that issue with some of the comments others direct at American citizens. It is trully a sad state of the human condition, when we fault a people, based on the views of a few. In closing. I'd like to say that the views expressed by this "director", should be viewed as the writings of a moron. No intelligent person would give credibility to the depictions given. Until we speak again, may you have peace.

Abdul, It was in fact Muslims who attacked the embassy, and killed our ambassador. But why would they decide that American citizens should be punished for the actions of some infantile movie maker. I don't support the views of the director, and I'm certain that most of my fellow citizens feel the same, but apparently the MOB didn't share that view. I don't appreciate someone attacking my religious faith, but I am certainly not going to go out and kill because some moron has his own view. What this guy did was wrong, but it will NEVER justify the course of action taken by the mobs outside our embassy. That's not justice, that's vengeance. Nothing more. Your statements sound like you think it's all right for one act of stupidity to justify the acts of the mob. If that's the case, then you're worse than the director of the film.

Delicia, i think u r right but respecting other religions and beliefs is a duty and if i ever reject or disagree with any belief, I can say simply that ''i dont agree '' or keep it for myself- if i can – rather than producing a film and provoking others !!!!! !

Mr Alan, Agree…it was muslims who attacked on embassy… but who provoked them to do so… Islam is the religion of peace. Preach tolerance and love to every living thing… but equally it has some boundaries and don't allow anyone to cross limits… non of anyone is role model for us except Muhammad (Peace be upon him). It is our basic teaching to respect elders and obey them. one of American joker gets up and make fun of the most respected person on earth and American don't do any thing to stop him or keep him aside forcefully to avoid hurting muslims but demanding tolerance is not justifiable. We don't need life without respecting and believing Muhammad (Peace be upon him) who thought us this and to whom we will be identified.

above link may be a good answer, how we should react on it? but it may be not possible that every (Including illiterate) muslim may know it. No one can claim that he can control the mob, specially if it is the matter of there believes.

hello my dear muslim friends , im not a muslim and the majority of americans respect your religion , its not our fault an idiot offended you , its just a couple people out of more then 300,000,000 people !! please think about it do the the math , most of us have a life , but hey ! there is always bad people around all of us .

We need not to fool ourself,must will kill because one firm that portray bad of mohammed..

Thank you brothers in Christ, If I was a Muslim you would not even listen to my words. Just one of the reasons, I personally reject the teachings of Muhammad.
Muhammad taught that two women's testimonies were equivalent to one male testimony (Surah 2:282), specifically because women are prone to forgetfulness. He also stated that a women's deficient intellect was one of the reasons that women are a majority in Hell (Sahih Muslim 142).

Are u sure that the killing of the US ambassador has something to do with this film ?????????

Delicia Dawn Kouzeva you really have no idea what you are talking about
This is really sad that you are copying and pasting words from Anti-Islam sites without even investigating first.
Muslim listens to women and take their words seriously … A woman is the mother, sister, daughter, and wife … Muslim respects woman more than you can even imagine.

About "Muhammad taught that two women's testimonies were equivalent to one male testimony (Surah 2:282), specifically because women are prone to forgetfulness" … it is not an offend thing .. it is the nature of women

The basic matter is directly related to the creation of women. This is a requisite of their psychological aspect. The underlying disposition of woman is excitement and she lives with her excitements. Therefore, ideas get rooted in her heart rather than her mind and develop effects in this way. She cannot really remain unbiased in the face of events.

So, Women may forget, therefore they should be given helpers in testimony. It is expressed by Allah the Almighty who created the woman. So, it is an unchanging rule. Are there not among women those who do not easily forget and those who have sharper memories than men? Of course, there are, but generally, this psychological state is seen in women more often. It is just natural that they cannot retain events in their memories long.

By accepting two womens testimonies equal to that of one man, and thus not burdening the woman with the responsibility as much as that of the man in the matter of witnessing, Islam does not harm her right, on the contrary, protects it and prevents her from sinning. This is because bearing witness is a tough duty that brings about great responsibilities.

The Noble Verse does not in anyway talk about women's intelligence or memory capabilities or brains. It is simply talking about the women's complete integrity. Women are by far more emotional than men. This by itself will effect the woman's ACCURACY in her witness if she is asked to explain what happened in a certain event.

Let us look at few differences between men and women to understand better:

1- Women have a lot more patience and emotions in them than men. This is one of the blessings that Allah Almighty had created in women to enable them to raise children. Men do not have enough patience in them, nor enough loving emotions in them to raise children.

2- Women can easily get frightened. Man can't. It takes a lot to frighten a normal average man.

Here more info .. if you wanna understand the truth
http://www.answering-christianity.com/two_women.htm

Nasir, I'd like to point out that the mob took the lives of innocent people. It was not the embassy personell who made this video. Are you saying that their actions were justified? Where was the justice in the lives they took? Was there anyone among them who felt that their actions assuaged the anger they felt over the slight put upon them? How is the taking of innocent life to be seen as anything other than murder? How does Muhammad feel about the taking of an annocent life? Since Muhammad is your God, it seems as though he would be above such actions. As a peaceful God, wouldn't he teach compassion toward those who slight us? If in fact he believes in retribution, wouldn't that be better served by punishing the offending person? I would be more inclined to believe that he would see the actions of the individual as upsetting, and seek forgiveness for the offending person. THAT, in my opinion, is the true path to peace. Forgiveness is the act of peace, not violence against innocent people. And last, you say that the mob was provoked into their actions. I fail to see how the actions of anyone, would warrant the response given. When someone speaks against my God, I have been taught to pray for them, and forgive. It would take an act of violence against those I love, to provoke me to violence. I hope you feel the same.

Nasir Mustafa, Thank you for the link. I will look it up.

Nihal H. Mustafa u r so right becouse they always see the arabs or moslems are wrong just to know u usa citizent don't know any thing at all the Christians on egypt are standing with moslems and your media just show you what they want you to see and never let you see what does they do with chidren and girls in iraQ so a littile advice for you amricans see the real troth and you will know whats going on in this world (i'm egyption and i realy proud)

Alan, your perception of me is based on your own understanding and interpretation of my arguments. Despite your mistaken conclusion, I respect your views. You missed the core point I made about recurrence of a well known phenomenon i.e. Muslims’ violent reaction. They are not new to the world and at the same time not without reasons. I see there is a problem in dealing with issues which are sensitive to the second largest community in the world. Do you remember how many times in the recent past Muslims were provoked by individuals attacking their belief and attachment with their Prophet? If you do, then you also remember the outcome of such provocations. Can you tell me from your unbiased insight, how many times have you seen Muslims resorting to violence without a reason?

So, my point was that we should understand the sensitivity of issues which are a matter of life and death to Muslims or any other belief and at the same time forbid, discourage and stop acts which are likely touch these issues and stir violent reactions. The arguments supporting the right to freedom of speech, etc. are meaningless as nowhere in the world this right is being exercised in its entirety. That includes the USA where people have to resign from their positions or face consequences for passing remarks against Jews. If antagonist remarks hurt Jews, then by the same standard they hurt others also. I will take liberty to exclude unintentional acts from the list. But there should not be any excuse or support for deliberate acts with knowledge of undesirable consequences. Do you think the filmmaker deserves support under freedom of speech when he admitted that the film was going to provoke Muslims and “violence was inevitable?” I believe the world will be a peaceful place to live if we pull up the primary individual miscreants like Sam Bacile which is an easy job as compared to calm down a whole community.

Sam Bacile's film doesn't represent the United States' view on the Muslim faith. This is the idiocracy and hate of one man. I am so sorry that this man made such a disrespectful movie! True Christians want peace and acceptance of all faiths in all Nations.

Ashley Horn Routh
We know, Ashley … And we are sorry for your ambassador. What happened is not from Islam. Killing innocent people is prohibited in Islam. True Muslims love all people and respect all especially Christians; you are our brothers and sisters.
Thank you, Ashley and i'm so sorry for your lost
God bless you and guide all of us to the right path.

you have no right to criticized others religions belief. Why some peoples are interested to criticized others religions belief? God and religions stands for belief. If you love your religion then why not respect others religions? You have no right to criticized if you do not belief in religions and God.Belief in God and religions is personal. You have no right to force others to belief your opinion.So it should be must avoid to criticized others religions and it is very necessary for peace and unity.

I salute to my brothers in libya and other countries who protested against the anti islam film , our prophet sys"If you see somthing bad try to stop it with your hand if can't then stop it with your tongue and if you can't do that then have curse for it in your heart".

Dear alan carr and others !this is not the 1st time that our prophet is disrespected.If USA can kill thousands in afghanistan and in other muslim countries b/c of their own created osama then why are you so shocked about your ambassador?

good

Dear Angel the same thing we saying since 9-11 that we also respect your religion 9-11 is not fault of all muslims there ae some idiot people offended you then why all muslim suffering in….please think about it do the math thanks for your understanding….

yea i know that only ignorant people think you all did it

isnt it beautiful here you can say watever you want !! but some people use freedom of speach to say bad things ! our government guarantees freedom of speach so they cannot ban that stupid video !! i think you need to chill , that video looks fake cheap and really stupid , im surprised this dumb movie caused the deaths of inocent people !! u guys just dont get it !! we like you we respect you no! 9-11 is not your fault !! some white people are racist towards us mexicans but it doesnt mean they are all racist ! there is bad people wherever you go !!

Hi Abdul, I accept that your position has merit, and I would like to include for the record, that I take offense on behalf of others. The position I wished to defend in this matter was one of morality, not religious beliefs. I respect the fact that Muslims are far more devout in their worship. I respect the conviction that is an inherent part. I hope that I've not given any indication that I would approve of, or support the actions of Mr. Bacile. If that was anyones perception of my words, then I apologize. My only concern with the actions taken by the Muslim community, were the taking of innocent lives that had no part in the actions of Mr. Bacile. I am a strong advocate for moral justice. But I fail to see how the deaths at the American embassy can be considered moral, or just. I would further point out that the governing body of my nation, is not always, and very seldom is the voice of the people they were hired to serve. There will always be exceptions, but the consensus of the people, is not always the voice of the governing majority. I feel certain that you share this view of your own country. I'd like to thank you for clarifying my mis-understanding of your position, and I would welcome further discussion with you on any number of topics. Until then, I hope yours will be a peaceful life.

Dear Basheer, I would point out that shock was not the feelings I experienced over the deaths of our ambassador. I was concerned for the morality of the decision that led these people to extinguish the life of innocents. Please also understand that I do not, and will not advocate the taking of an innocent life, regardless of the community that takes part in it. Yes. I am Christian. But before that I'm moral, which for me are one and the same. I hope to hear from you again, bye for now.

Dear Sayed, I cannot adequately express the relief and joy I felt from your words. If our cultures would share and live by words such as these, I fail to see how we could be anything other than friends. Words such as these have special healing power, and should be used more often. As a reply, I would also like to say how offended your true Christian family is over this matter. Thank you for your words of respect and honor.

Thanks, My brother Alan
May Allah bless, guide, and save all of us

we agree

Bull!!! He has the right to free speech and free expression. If the moslems don't like his film, they can simply not watch it. It was a poorly acted, poorly made film, but making a bad film is not a reason to riot. The rioters need to be held responsible for their actions.

That is what those who rioted should do. There was no excuse for those riots. A bad film is not illegal, we have the right of free speech and free expression in this country. If you don't like a film, don't watch it. The rioters should be prosecuted for murder.

There was absolutely no excuse for the riots and all the rioters need to be prosecuted for murder. The rights of free speech and free expression can not be circumvented by anyone. Especially not by a religion. We have freedom from religion in this country as well. I doubt seriously if many of the rioters had even seen the movie since only a small portion of it was translated into Arabic. If you don't like a movie, don't watch it, but don't say the man who made the movie had no right to make it. He did. There was no rioting after any of the many anti-Christian movies, why do Moslems feel they must "defend their prophet's honor"? Is he incapable of defending his own honor?? You mock Jesus at your own peril, not from Christians, but from Him directly!

No person has the right to circumvent the rights of others. The maker of this film made a parody, are the Moslems incapable of understanding that? He had the right to make any film he chose, just as you have the right to not watch it. If there had been no riots, the film would have stayed obscure and few people would have even heard of it. Yet, by their actions, the rioters justified the actions of the maker of the film and now everyone knows the insecurity of Islam. If Islam was strong, why was it necessary to try and suppress an obscure film no one had heard of? You mock the Christian God at your own peril, not from people, but from Him directly. Allah is apparently too weak to defend himself. I am very glad my God is not that weak.

Yes, it had everything to do with it, just as the riots in others places do. If it had nothing to do with it, why are they rioting in other places as well?

Delicia, you are right. The Lord is quite capable of defending His own honor. Too bad Islam feels their god is too weak to do that for himself.

Angel, the issue here is freedom of speech, expression, and freedom of religion. I don't mock other people's beliefs but I also don't try to force my beliefs on others. There was no excuse for the riots. None whatsoever, the murderers of Ambassador Stevens need to be brought to justice. No one riots over antiChristian films because we know God is quite capable of defending Himself. He does not need us to do it for Him. Why can't Islam realize that?

Freedom of speech! They deserve to die for killing an ambassador.

No wonder the world is becoming a dangerous place to live because people like you create and support all evils destroying humanity, human lives, values, norms, morality, peace, etc. Why in the first place you claim rights meant for human beings if you want to live an animal life? A civilized human being respects other human beings and their sensitivities, does no harm to or offends their feelings, and lives a life within the confinement of established principles of morality. Your so-called “parody” was made with a bad intention and your supporting it makes you an equal evil and ill natured creature. Knowing that Muslims have a duty to suppress, protest or condemn acts targeting the sanctity of their Prophet, making a “parody” of him is a clear religious discrimination under contemporary human rights. For you fun may be more important than religion, human values and lives, but you have no right to presume the same for others too. By the way, Muslims don't believe there is more than one God. He is only one whether you call Him Allah, God, Lord, Bhagwan, etc.

Wayne, Are you so uninformed, that you actually believe that the U.S. is comprised of only Christians? Are you so blinded by stupidity, that you don't understand the difference between a devout follower, and a fundamentalist? Or extremist? Who are you to declare a false leader? Did our Christian God speak to you personally? Or are you unaware of the fact that our bible indicated that His word would be shared with others? And further still, you seem blissfully unaware that our bible was interpretted by men. Every day of my life, I've been painfully aware of the pathetic nature of man to interpret something so it fits their view. How would you explain the Christian crusades? That was a holy war, and there certainly weren't any winners. Do you think that the winner is decided because one side has more money than the other? You can suffer any affliction upon a people or culture, but you can't destroy an idea. I'd like to point out, in closing, that I know a lot of Christian bitches. Now, thanks to your comments, I know one more. In the future, you might consider leaving the intellectual conversations to the adults.

Wayne Morris i'm in my "homeland" not in your "one nation", i refuse to argue with such uneducated individual as yourself, your attempt to spark a fire of argumentation has failed..i've encountered many people as yourself who claim they are right but have no idea what they are talking about, in other words: i feel sorry for you. Thank you Mr. Alan for your comment i really appreciate it

It turns out that he was 100% correct. Benghazi was a terror attack and had absolutely N O T H I N G to do with his stupid little movie. Our own president and his administration are guilty of a smear campaign against one of our citizens in an attept to deflect the blame for not protecting our own amassador adequately.

you say that like you're surprised, hell nothing bad that has happened in the past 4 years has been the fault of this administration, but anything good he has been right there to take credit….
