Cairo protesters scale U.S. Embassy wall, remove flag

Mohammed Abu Zaid, AP
Egyptian demonstrators climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo today and pulled down the American flag to protest a film they say is insulting to the prophet Mohammad.
Update at 2:07 p.m. ET: CNN reports that U.S. security guards fired a volley of warning shots as the crowd gathered outside the embassy walls.
CNN adds that the embassy had been expecting a demonstration and cleared all diplomatic personnel earlier from the facility.
Original post: The Associated Press reports that embassy officials say there was no staff inside at the time.
Reuters reports that protesters tried to raise a black flag carrying the slogan: "There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger."
The news agency says about 2,000 protesters have gathered outside the embassy and about 20 have scaled the walls.
The AP says the protesters were largely ultra-conservative Islamists.
Iran's FARS news agency says the film is the work of a group of "extremist" members of the Egyptian Coptic Church in the United States.
Al Ahram online says the film is reportedly being produced by U.S.-based Coptic-Christian Egyptians, including Esmat Zaklama and Morees Sadek, with the support of the Terry Jones Church in the United States.
Jones is the evangelical pastor who stirred controversy last year by threatening to burn a Quran in public.
CNN says the film in question is a Dutch production.
The AP says clips of the film available on YouTube show the prophet having sex and question his role as the messenger of Godâ??s words.
After the protest, the U.S. Embassy issued this statement on its website:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims â?? as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of other
The Grand Mufti of Egypt Sheikh Ali Gomaa strongly condemned the movie, AllAfrica.com reports.
"Freedom of speech does not warrant desecrating sanctities," Gomaa said in a statement Sunday.

It's a Dutch film, so the logical thing to do is to attack the US embassy? No Dutch embassy to attack?

Why are you guys denouncing democracy? The people are rising against you after you supported military secular dictatorship for over 30 years, enslaving the Egyptians.
I am amused at your response. I guess history in an American's mind is only worth 24 hours

They are rising up against a Dutch film, WTF does the American embassy have to do with that?
-
30 years of supporting a military secular dictatorship? They already hate your guts from before. ::) Besides the Dutch are not the ones starting wars, they are just following you in your footsteps. In the end in the grander scheme of things you'll be the one taking the blame for everything in the end. The British have washed their hands of colonialism when you took over. Although people have a bitter history of the british, french, dutch, spanish and italian colonialism, they have a fresh bitter taste of recent history of what you've been doing. Whether it's a dutch film or whatever you're getting the end of the schtick

So fucking what, they claim they are protesting a Dutch film that insults Islam. America has no control over what Dutch film makers do.

Dude, stay on topic, if you are going to start this shit again I'm not going to bother with you
-
I guess you missed this key part:
The protest was sparked by outrage over a video being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the U.S., clips of which are available on the social website YouTube and dubbed in Egyptian Arabic. The video depicts Muhammad as a fraud, showing him having sex and calling for massacres. Muslims find it offensive to depict Muhammad in any fashion, much less in an insulting way.
US campaigner
Hence your involvement in it. Not Dutch

You see in American, the government is not the church. Therefore attacking the US embassy is still moronic anyway you try to spin it.
-
It's not moronic. You are waging 7 wars now in Muslim countries and turn a blind eye to these kinds of incidents, but make it a ruckus when supposed political dissidents are ignored that support your views, whether it be something to do with christians (whatever they are doing) or you trying to undermine a nation by pushing puppets forward.
It's a direct result of yourself. So your government is not representative of it's citizens anymore? You wash your hands and keep silent? Then accuse the victim? And call it free spech?

They want to protest, more power to them. The minute they start attacking the US embassy, which is sovereign US soil, then yes I have a problem with it.
-
Actually it's their country and their soil ::) You're not welcome unless they say you are.
If your citizens are not being held accountable for crimes against their country then you are welcome to leave. Don't you think?
This 'movie' was produced by the redneck pastor who burned qur'ans:

So burning your flag is only symbolic and you shouldn't be aggrevated.

An embassy is considered sovereign property of the country that holds it. So no it is not their soil, until the point their government or the US government leaves. What crimes? A film? Some dumbass pastor who is only trying to get PR with this, who well knows what the reaction is going to be. And what do the backward ass Muslims do? Give him credibility by acting like assholes.
I can get pissed off at the burning of the US flag if I choose to. All I have to say is if you decide to burn the stars and stripes in front of me, you better be able to run faster
-
More examples of Muslims being Muslims and the one-way tolerance displayed by the adherents of the cult of the pedophile. All this over a movie. Meanwhile, your average Muslims is among the most bigoted people on the planet.
Good thing Obama is kissing their ass and condemning the people who hurt their ickle wickle feewings. ::)

So lol you are getting angry that material property of the united states is being torched (flag), but you find no problem that an ignorant moron is inciting violence and burning holy scriptures with the deliberate hate and intent to anger 1.5 billion people.
Irony
Oh and no its not your soil. I know you're used to having 900 bases all around the world. But it is only GRANTED to you by the diplomatic permission of the nation, if they so chose to KICK YOU OUT, you are not welcome. It's not your land.
Imagine iraq asking to establish military bases in the united states and calling it "their soil". Lol you're a joke.
Well I guess you better be ready to run faster if you burn qur'an in egypt or slander the faith of the 95% majority?

but isn't it Christians who are pedophile pandemic? Young marriages were normal. However priests raping little boys is a pandemic of christian proportions? Wait what? Oh, didn't that sound rude and idiotic I guess you like it that way?
-
Generally speaking, in the civilized world, Embassies are off limits. This is close to a declaration of war IMHO.
-
The united states declared war on 7 nations so far and killed a million people in the last ten years. And intends to start two more wars.
Recent memory much ::)
If you want to talk diplomacy why not take care of your US citizen pastor dude and this would not be a problem.
Imagine government and tax exempt organizations creating movies about holocaust denial and marching in the street burning torahs and burning manaquins with cloths with star of david.
You think Jews wouldn't be in an uproar?

Moohammed marrying and raping six-year-old Aisha laid the ground-work for 1500+ years of legalized pedophilia. Shame he couldn't keep his dick in his pants or little girls may have stood a chance of not being raped by some stinky eighty-year-old.
Western world condemns pedophilia.
Islamic world rewards it.
-

The Muslim world isn't civilized. If we pulled all the welfare we hand these good-for-nothings they'd be worse off than Haiti within a year.

The mooooooooooslims should all be left alone to kill each other off for all i care.
Worthless scum most of them.

What in the holy hell does this have to do with the fact that Embassies are usually off limits and what they're doing is close to a declaration of war?
Answer: Nothing.

So next time a Muslim does something I don't like I should gather a bunch of people and attack the embassy of the nearest muslim nations? Your who premise is fucking stupid. You know why Christians don't do the stupid shit Muslims do? Because we know God can take care of himself :-*
And embassy is considered the sovereign soil of said country, has not one fucking thing to do with military bases.
First of all what possible reason would I have to go to that shit hole?

Aisha was 9 :) And we love Aisha, she is the mother of the believers :) She is also responsible for transfering much knowlege about muhammad and our religion :)
Unfortunately, you are misinformed and misled ;)
Christian Europe used to 'marry' 3 and 4 year olds and have sex with them. This was all up to the last 100-200 or so years ago. The same goes for North America.
The average marriage age was 10 in America a hundred years ago.
On the other hand, priests since the dark ages have been raping little children especially boys it's just that this pandemic has become evident today after victims have come forward.
There is a difference between marriage, where a man has the responsibility to take care of a female. Versus rape where a priest secretly forces a child to have sex and keeps them quiet.
So next time a Muslim does something I don't like I should gather a bunch of people and attack the embassy of the nearest muslim nations? Your who premise is fucking stupid. You know why Christians don't do the stupid shit Muslims do? Because we know God can take care of himself :-*

You don't attack embassies :) You bomb countries and kill millions of people like you did in iraq for example.

Epic lulz.
Well, with any luck, we'll take this as a declaration of war and wipe Egypt off the map, best to get all those ancient artifacts out of Muslim hands before they decide to chop the head of the Sphinx or some shit.
-
Looks like you are setting yourself up for a trap ::)
I guess it would have been wiser not to make anti-islam movies and war on islam your priority so your precious flag wouldn't be burned.
You know when Russians occupied Afghanistan. There was flag burning of the USSR flag... lots of flag burning.
It's the same thing happening, except you don't learn from history. The Russians lost.

Israel will probably do it soon enough. Muslims are little bitches when it comes to fighting wars; hence why they stick to blowing up women and children buying groceries.
Tolerance is a one-way street with these Mohammedans. Have you seen the shit their clerics consistently spew about other religious groups? Yet you never seen them acting like animals like the Muslims do. Guess that's what happens when you're not an inbred dipshit like most of the Muslim world is (upwards of 60% of Muslims are inbred, studies have found).

Yeah - all the makings of a democracy right there. ::) ::)
-
Duh Gadaffi was anti-religion and the people rose up against him and you just helped them. So you are surprised?
On top of that you bombed their country to smiterines, and killed 100,000 ppl. Did you think Libyans will kiss your ass or want your liberal secular 'democracy'. They were sick of liberal secular dictatorships.
Muslims don't want to be ruled by liberal secularism whether dictatorships or democracy (imposed puppets)
-
If the US made war in Islam you would know it.
muslims already know it but your once allies, the dictators are being slowly over thrown. You are losing, so instead you are resorting to slander of Islam in hopes of Muslims abandoning their faith. Not going to happen.

I don't give a fuck about the flag you moron, they're attacking an embassy.
If we attacked ANY embassy from a Muslim country, there would be no end to the bullshit.

Muslims don't know shit, accept what the local cleric or al ja-propaganda tells them.

Exactly there is no end to this bullshit because you attacked first and in the process killed over a million people
Should have though that before starting war with 7 countries.
I guess if you wana attack and destroy egypt thatll be 3 countries you plan to make war with. So that'll make it 10 countries you will be at war with.

Evidently, the film that they think is offensive to Gay-hammed is somehow war, and therefore their attacking an embassy is perfectly justifiable.

Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

Well it's a combination. It's not like a single idiot started a single incident of anti-islam. There is a history of slandering Islam and Muslims. The idiots like yourself on this board do it all day all night long.
It's an accumulation and on top of that there is already a war against Islam.
When you say its not a war against islam but a war against 'islamofascism' (wtf?) you are just adding more salt to the insult.
People are not idiots. You are waging a war against Islam and Muslims. "The hearts and minds". You are definetely losing it hardcore, no matter how much bullshit obama spewed when in egypt when getting elected in 2008. He killed more muslims and started more wars than bush
-
Evidently, the film that they think is offensive to Gay-hammed is somehow war, and therefore their attacking an embassy is perfectly justifiable.
Sending 1500 B-17's to bomb the shit out of an axis target is war, we haven't actually fought a "war" since WWII, and believe me the Rags don't want all out fucking war.

11 And when it is said to them : Do not make mischief in the earth, they say : Verily we are in fact peacemakers.
12 Is it not that they themselves are the mischief-makers? But they do not perceive.
13 And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the fools have believed? Is it not that surely they are themselves the fools? But they do not know.

Fuck you, the Sunni and Shia have been killing each other forever.
Incorrect, the Sunni and Shia have been framed by the US and NEVER killed each other prior to US intervention.

Im sick and tired of treating this spoiled children with kid gloves, they only act like this because we let them. Storm our embassy because someone got their feelings hurt by a movie? Don't worry, we'll just apologize and give you whatever you want!
Fuck this shit, spank the holy fuck out of that child. Drop a battalion of Marines in their and see how rowdy they get.
How about you leave foreign countries and stick to your failing republic that is 16 trillion dollars in debt serving its master israel. you have blood on your hands and you have debt up your anus.
Ever use your brain much?
Stop attacking others, stop insulting others, stop killing others, stop robbing others, stop imposing dictatorships on others.
The world will be a happier place and so will you. You will be able to enjoy all your material goodie goods in america without harming others.
Stop threatening everyone that you'll bomb them or destroy them too.
You think people will flock towards america wanting to give you hugs and kisses after that? Are you an idiot?

Egyptians angry at film scale U.S. embassy walls
Tue, Sep 11 15:19 PM EDT
By Tamim Elyan
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy on Tuesday, tore down the American flag and burned it during a protest over what they said was a film being produced in the United States that insulted Prophet Mohammad.
In place of the U.S. flag, the protesters tried to raise a black flag with the words "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his messenger", a Reuters witness said.
Once the U.S. flag was hauled down, some protesters tore it up and showed off pieces to television cameras. Others burned the remains outside the fortress-like embassy building in central Cairo. But some protesters objected to the flag burning.
Many Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet to be offensive.
"This movie must be banned immediately and an apology should be made," said 19-year-old Ismail Mahmoud, a member of the so-called "ultras" soccer supporters who played a big role in the uprising that brought down Hosni Mubarak last year.
He called on President Mohamed Mursi, Egypt's first civilian president and an Islamist, to take action, without giving details of the film that angered him or other protesters.
About 20 people stood on top of the embassy wall, while about 2,000 protesters gathered outside. The demonstrators were mainly supporters of Islamist groups or "ultras" youths.
Rafik Farouk, 38, an Egyptian Christian, also took part. "I am here because I am Egyptian and reject anything that insults Islam or anything that sparks division in Egypt," he said.
Washington has a big mission in Egypt, partly because of a huge aid programme that followed Egypt's signing of a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. The United States gives $1.3 billion to Egypt's military each year and offers the nation other aid.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland in Washington said the wall was breached and the flag removed.
"We are obviously working with Egyptian security to try to restore order at the embassy and to work with them to try to get the situation under control," she said.
Following the protest, Egypt's Foreign Ministry said it was committed to giving all embassies the necessary protection.
The U.S. embassy had put out a statement earlier on Tuesday condemning "misguided individuals" who hurt the religious feelings of Muslims or followers of other religions.
"We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others," the U.S. embassy said in its statement.
MUSLIM ANGER
Although it was not clear which film prompted the protests, Egypt's prestigious Al-Azhar mosque and seat of Sunni learning condemned on Tuesday a symbolic "trial" of the Prophet organized by a U.S. group including Terry Jones, a Christian pastor who triggered riots in Afghanistan in 2010 by threatening to burn the Koran.
According to the website www.standupamericanow.or g, Jones and others were due to take part in an event on Tuesday - the anniversary of the September 11 attacks by al Qaeda on U.S. cities - called "International Judge Mohammad Day" in Florida. It was due to be carried live on the Internet.
Some activists had mentioned Jones in calls for a protest.
Egypt's Coptic Orthodox church also condemned in a statement some Copts living abroad who it said financed "the production of a film insulting Prophet Mohammad", a state website reported. About a 10th of Egypt's 83 million people are Christians.
Protests have become a common feature in Egypt since the uprising that ousted long-time U.S.-ally Mubarak. When U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited in July, after Mursi was sworn in, her motorcade was pelted with tomatoes.
Some demonstrators shouted slogans against her and some slogans were against Islamists, reflecting perceptions of some opponents of Islamists who have swept Egypt's presidency and a parliamentary vote that Washington helped Islamists to power.
In Mubarak's era, protests were usually swiftly halted by an often brutally efficient police force.
One slogan scrawled on the walls of the embassy, which is near Tahrir Square where Egyptians revolted against Mubarak, said: "If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our freedom of action."
In another incident prompted by similar religious sentiments last month, a lone man attacked the German embassy with homemade nail bombs and a hammer, cracking glass at the entrance, after he read a report about a protest in Germany where demonstrators paraded caricatures of the Prophet outside a mosque.
No one was injured and there was no serious damage to the embassy during the incident.

No actually you were funding the military dictatorship for 30 years :) Now that dictatorship is gone and Muslims are rising up against your tyranny.
That 1.x billion dollars is for egypt's military in order to defend israel's interests. Not for the people of egypt.
Yes the same military that was rigging the elections, reversing the elections and closing down parliament and forcing candidates to 'resign'.

On the other hand those innocent people will be forgiven by God and granted mercy for their suffering under you.
I wonder how God will test you on the day of judgment. Whether he will give you a gun or a rocket or tank to fight God almighty. I'm sure we'll all know the outcome of that victory to come.

“Obama, Obama, there are still a billion Osamas!” (Shouted in Cairo today- Andrew McCarthy)
The Corner at NRO ^ | September 11, 2012 | Andrew McCarthy
Posted on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 6:47:16 PM by SE Mom
Nina is exactly right that the appalling statement issued by the Obama State Department, apparently prior to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Cairo today, betrays the president’s agenda to impose on Americans sharia speech suppression standards in blatant violation of the First Amendment. That, however, is far from the most egregious part of today’s episode in Egypt.
To attack another country’s embassy is an act of war. Now, some will be quick to point out that our embassy was not attacked by the Egyptian regime. That is no defense. Everybody was on notice that there might be rioting today. It was in anticipation that there could be trouble that the State Department issued its despicable statement — putting the onus for violence on American free speech rather than Islamist savagery. Further, it was almost exactly a year ago that an Egyptian mob stormed the Israeli embassy in Cairo, doing almost exactly what they did today: scaling the embassy walls, tearing down the Israeli flag, and replacing it with their own flag.
In that instance, as in today’s, the Egyptian regime could have made certain that the embassy was secure. It chose not to. Unlike the Israelis, however, we actually pay the Egyptians nearly $1.5 billion a year in military aid — funding Obama not only continued under circumstances where it was obvious Egypt would be ruled by anti-American Islamic supremacists, but also which the president would now have our bankrupt government complement with yet another billion dollars in economic assistance.
What are we getting for this largesse? Egypt has renewed relations with Iran, is seeking to purchase submarines from Germany that could be used to attack Israeli assets, is re-militarizing the Sinai in violation of the Camp David Accords, and now cannot — actually, would not — even protect our embassy. And all this against a background in which the Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide, Mohammed Badi, called for violent jihad against the United States in 2010, cheered that excursions into Afghanistan and Iraq have put America in its death throes, and reaffirmed — after the Muslim Brotherhood’s electoral victories — the Brotherhood’s ultimate goal of a global caliphate governed by sharia.
Egypt is an enemy of the United States. We wanted free elections and we got them. What they have given us, as I argue in my imminent new book, Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy, is an Egyptian regime that reflects Egypt’s Islamic supremacist population — among the world’s worst human rights violators.
“Obama, Obama, there are still a billion Osamas!” they cried today as they attacked our embassy, shredded our flag, and replaced it with the al Qaeda flag — the one so popular with the “rebels” in Libya and Syria. One of the 9/11 hijackers was an Egyptian, as is the current leader of al Qaeda, as is the Blind Sheikh. A real ally would be embarrassed. An enemy marks the day like Egypt did. The Obama administration marked the day by apologizing for free speech and declining a presidential audience to the prime minister of Israel — our actual ally in the region. President Obama’s calendar is very busy after all: between campaigning and rounds of golf, he’s blocked a day to roll out the red carpet for Egypt’s new president.
Is it too much to hope that the Romney campaign might see an opportunity here to make a point about American national security and foreign policy under Obama? Remember back in 2002, back when we were following the original “with us or against us” Bush Doctrine — back before the doctrine was warped by delusional visions of sharia democracy? Here’s the question: Would they have dared storm the American embassy in Cairo on September 11, 2002?

Awesome quote. I suspect many a Mohammedan ground his teeth when met with the realization that he is inferior in every way, shape and form and no amount of praying to their pedophile prophet would change it.

lol, Muslims just smile, because we know you'll be roasting in the hellfire if you persist and do not repent to God. Plus the irony, how you accuse others of things, while in fact you are wrecking havoc upon the earth. And you boast about killing and your ability to kill.
Oh and we don't pray to Muhammad. He is a messenger of God. We do not worship men or idols or the creation. We worship God Almighty, the one and only, the one and only eternal God, our creator, creator of all creation. The God of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and of course Muhammad (peace be upon them).
11 And when it is said to them : Do not make mischief in the earth, they say : Verily we are in fact peacemakers.
12 Is it not that they themselves are the mischief-makers? But they do not perceive.
13 And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the fools have believed? Is it not that surely they are themselves the fools? But they do not know.

If Allah is so powerful, why does he allow to be dominated by infidels? Why does he allow your societies to be so far behind the rest of the world? Humor me.
Oh, and LOL @ hellfire. The Koran talks about flying donkeys, too, yet I can't think of the last time I saw one of those. ::)

I have a friend that was (supposedly) a radioman for General Mattis. Said he was every bit the badass that he was reputed to be.
His call sign was "Chaos". Lol.
Another Mattis quote I like -
go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet
None of the widely touted new technologies and weapons systems "would have helped me in the last three years [in Iraq and Afghanistan]. But I could have used cultural training [and] language training. I could have used more products from American universities [who] understood the world does not revolve around America and [who] embrace coalitions and allies for all of the strengths that they bring us."
In this age, I don’t care how tactically or operationally brilliant you are, if you cannot create harmony—even vicious harmony—on the battlefield based on trust across service lines, across coalition and national lines, and across civilian/military lines, you need to go home, because your leadership is obsolete. We have got to have officers who can create harmony across all those lines.

That's strange. Europe was 1000+ years in the dark ages, living in mud houses under the church.
Islam ruled for over a 1000 years and developed mathematics, architecture, sciences, literature, all sorts of works.
If you think success is by material success alone, you are mistaken.
Also God is not dominated by anyone. To him belongs all dominion. You come to this world, and even if ungreatful God provides for you and you mock him and jest him, yet you only mock yourself and will die in disgrace and be facing God almighty in disgrace.
Oh, and LOL @ hellfire. The Koran talks about flying donkeys, too, yet I can't think of the last time I saw one of those. ::)
Please enlighten me where in the quran are flying donkeys. I always am willing to learn. Are you?
Speaking of scriptures:
Isaiah 14:29: "Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's roots will come a viper, and its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent."
Isaiah 30:6: "The burden against the beasts of the South. Through a land of trouble and anguish, from which came the lioness and the lion, the viper and the fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people who shall not profit;"

Hmm if only you knew how eternally hellfire the real hell fire is. I imagine it will be very befitting to be eternally hellfired by a hellfire rocket in the hellfire. So that you remember for eternity what you used to utter. Of course that is for God Almighty to prescribe for you. Not me. God is just and will reward everyone equally with equity for what they used to do and say in this life.

Aisha was 9 :) And we love Aisha, she is the mother of the believers :) She is also responsible for transfering much knowlege about muhammad and our religion :)
Unfortunately, you are misinformed and misled ;)
Christian Europe used to 'marry' 3 and 4 year olds and have sex with them. This was all up to the last 100-200 or so years ago. The same goes for North America.
The average marriage age was 10 in America a hundred years ago.
On the other hand, priests since the dark ages have been raping little children especially boys it's just that this pandemic has become evident today after victims have come forward.
There is a difference between marriage, where a man has the responsibility to take care of a female. Versus rape where a priest secretly forces a child to have sex and keeps them quiet.
You don't attack embassies :) You bomb countries and kill millions of people like you did in iraq for example.
Dude, that's a lie. No one was marrying at 10 here. What country are you from? You sound somewhat educated, even though I don't agree at all with what you're saying.

One of the more prelavent reasons for raising the age, girls were more interested in 'sexual play' rather than marriage. Recent history.
Delaware's age of consent in 1880 was 7 years of age.
None of the haters of Islam amongst the arabs had a problem with Muhammad marrying Aisha at 9. None of the european haters of Islam had a problem (they were 'marrying' at 3-4), only in the last 50 or so years has it become a 'problem' and a slandering point... because now a days people are 30 before they settle and get married if they get married. Everyone just fucks around and is into consummerism and 'having fun'/clubbing rather than marrying.
These numbers are artificially chosen by people. In reality, men and women have sexual urges as soon as they hit puberty. Common sense. The difference is. Islam encourages marriage and responsibility. Western modern culture encourages promiscuity, having 'fun' and not getting married or wanting responsibility. Children are indoctrinated into consummerism from a young age. Wanting toys, having fun endlessly, wasting time, as opposed to earning knowledge, learning, preparing themselves for life, responsibility, etc...
My wife is Arab/African, she tells me at 9-10 girls back home already knew how to take care of the home, cook, handle responsibility, groceries, manage money, etc... Quite a drastic contrast to girls here who are playing with barbies and watching dora the explorer and fantasizing about 'princess princess' before they start dressing for attention before the clubbing age of care free promiscuity

What do you think playing with dolls and easy bake ovens prepares them for? Women are instinctually domestic creatures, only the hoes and trash that watch that crap on tv are into it.

I lol'd at the last part haha
I'm aware of all that. The thing I am pointing to in response first and foremost is the baseless islamophobe accusations against Muhammad (pbuh) accusing him of rape and pedophilia. Something ironically true for christian priests.
I'm just comparing it the historical context, fact and values that have changed and how just a hundred years ago the average age of consent was 10 years of age. 7 in delaware
Muhammad married Aisha at 9. And that was that. No one EVER had a problem with it. Not the qureish arabs that tried to accuse Muhammad of every hineous thing imaginable. Not the european who tried to demonize Islam and Muslims and Muhammad in particular. Only in the last 50 years is it such a phenomena. Hence its ridiculous.
I married young myself while my wife is 5 years older than me. Shocking?
The second thing I am pointing to is how society is enforcing a certain way of life and hence the result.
Seriously in grade 6... people were having sex, smoking drugs of all kinds not just weed... I was up-hauled by it even then... so it's just all so very ironic.
Just how a teacher who has sex with students in the west will get penalized and jailed if the students were almost 18 but not quite 18. Like that ho who's husband was deployed in war and she had group orgies with 18 year old students. They get away with it. She gets jail time or whatever.
It's an artificial number. Either people are promiscious and irresponsible or they want marriage. Sex is a human thing.. as soon as we hit puberty bam... you're horny lol.

So you're just blindly obeying and killing and then shrugging much how you shrug the crimes of your government from 50 years ago because you were not born.
Do you not realize that not everyone in the world believes that "Jesus died for our sins". People in the rest of the world in particular the Muslim world believe that everyone will be held accountable for their actions. So what you did 50 years ago and if you keep doing today will have consequences.
Every action you perform has a consequence, if you chose to blindly turn your face it'll hit you from where you least expect it and then you'll whine wait what?
NAZIs didn't get away with "I was just following orders". What makes you think you will?

White House Disavows Cairo Apology (Free Republic broke embassy apology story)
Politico ^ | Tuesday, September 11, 2012 | Byron Tau
Posted on September 11, 2012 10:46:19 PM EDT by kristinn
The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.
"The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government," a senior administration official told POLITICO.
The U.S. embassy in Cairo put out a statement early Tuesday that apologized for an anti-Muslim film being circulated by an Israeli-American real estate developer.
"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions," the embassy said in a statement published online.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the film depicts the Muslim prophet Muhammed as a "womanizer, pedophile and fraud" — depiction bound to offend many Muslims.
The embassy came under widespread criticism for failing to defend free speech in the face of threats of violence. Egyptian protesters rioted anyway, breaching the embassy walls and tearing down the American flag.
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a Tuesday statement.

Breaking: Romney: Obama handling of Libya, Egypt violence 'disgraceful'
CNN ^ | September 11, 2012 | Mitt Romney
Posted on September 11, 2012 10:40:37 PM EDT by
(CNN) - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Tuesday issued a paper statement sharply critical of President Barack Obama over his handling of violence in the Middle East earlier in the day.
“I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said in the statement. "It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

PICKET: U.S. Embassy in Cairo tweets - Islam is a 'wonderful religion'
The Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, September 11, 2012 | Kerry Picket
Posted on September 11, 2012 7:58:27 PM EDT by kristinn
"We consistently stand up for Muslims around the world and talk abt how Islam is a wonderful religion."
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo released the following statement hours before protesters stormed the embassy building:(bolding is mine)
"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."
In a tweet from the embassy that was later deleted, the U.S. embassy in Cairo tweeted:
"We consistently stand up for Muslims around the world and talk abt how Islam is a wonderful religion."
(EDIT and comment by kristinn: The embassy’s Tweet praising Islam as "wonderful" was taken down around 3 or 4 p.m. EDT. A screen grab was not made as far as I know, but someone on Twitter retweeted the message questioning the judgment of the embassy.)
(I personally saw the embassy’s statement before it was deleted. It was made in the context of a Twitter discussion between the embassy and an Arabic speaking Muslim who was saying violence was justified over the alleged anti-Islam film.)

An Appalling Statement from the President
Townhall.com ^ | September 11, 2012 | Carol Platt Liebau
Posted on September 11, 2012 9:08:55 PM EDT by Kaslin
On 9/11, a day devoted to remembering those killed at the hands of Islamofascist terrorists -- and this year, a day when a mob in Egypt attacks the US embassy and replaces the American flag with the Al Qaeda one -- here is the Obama administration's statement in full:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.
One would think this was a horrible, outrageous joke. But it's not. It's the actual statement. It's kind of reminiscent of Obama's response to 9/11 itself. Just a week after the collapse of the Twin Towers, them State Senator Obama published a piece in the Hyde Park Herald where he discussed
“the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness.”
“The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others,” he wrote. “Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity….”
“We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad,” he went on. “We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent."
(That rhetoric, was, of course, before his expanded use of drones meant more civilian deaths.)
Note his big concerns: "understanding" the attackers and the expected "bigotry or discrimination" against Middle Easterners -- bigotry that really never materialized. It is, however, revealing of his view of average Americans . . . just as his statement today likewise is dismayingly revealing of his concerns and priorities.

Was 9-11-12 the Day America Lost its Influence in the Middle East?
PJ Media ^ | September 11, 2012 | Bryan Preston
Posted on September 11, 2012 10:10:37 PM EDT by opentalk
In a pair of attacks more than 650 miles apart, Islamists stormed and seized two US embassies. In Cairo, Egypt, Islamists scaled the wall, tore down and desecrated the American flag, and hoisted their own Islamic flag which reads: “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger.”
In Benghazi, Libya, Islamists stormed the US consolae and nearly burned it to the ground. One American has reportedly been killed.
While Egypt has long enjoyed friendly relations with the United States, Libya and the US have been enemies since that country sponsored terrorist attacks on the West in the 1980s. Relations had thawed recently after the US helped oust strongman Muammar Gaddafi from power.
The US response to both attacks may go down as the weakest response to any international crisis in living memory.
....It isn’t difficult to read into the president’s lack of response to the attacks on our embassies, and his refusal to adjust his campaign schedule to meet with the leader of our strongest ally in the region, a shift in US policy. Recall that last week, his party attempted to remove language from its platform recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
...On page 261 of his book The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama declared that if the post 9-11 political winds shifted in an ugly direction against Muslims, he would stand with them. In the Middle East on September 11, 2012, the political winds shifted heavily against the United States. And Barack Obama did not say a thing.
Update: According to the US embassy in Cairo, Islam is a wonderful religion.

Islam’s Black Flag Flies Over U.S. Embassy in Egypt-appeasement spawns a devastating failure

Islam’s Black Flag Flies Over U.S. Embassy in Egypt
Posted By Raymond Ibrahim On September 12, 2012 @ 12:45 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 3 Comments
The United States embassy of Egypt is under siege. According to Fox News:
“Mainly ultraconservative Islamist protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Egypt’s capital Tuesday and brought down the flag, replacing it with a black flag with an Islamic inscription to protest a video attacking Islam’s prophet, Muhammad. Hundreds of protesters marched to the embassy in downtown Cairo …. Dozens of protesters then scaled the embassy walls, went into the courtyard and took down the flag from a pole. They brought it back to the crowd outside, which tried to burn it, but failing that, tore it apart. The protesters on the wall then raised on the flagpole a black flag with the Muslim declaration of faith on it, ‘There is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet.’ The flag, similar to the banner used by al-Qaida, is commonly used by ultraconservatives around the region…. By evening, the protest grew with thousands standing outside the embassy, chanting ‘Islamic, Islamic. The right of our prophet will not die.’ A group of women in black veils and robes that left only their eyes exposed chanted, ‘Worshippers of the Cross, leave the Prophet Muhammad alone.’”
Some clarifications for context: Islam’s black flag with the shehada and sword inscription is not an al-Qaeda banner but rather Islam’s most ancient banner, popularized by the Abbasid caliphs in the 800s. In other words, these protesters were not imitating al-Qaeda; rather they—and al-Qaeda—are imitating Islam’s heritage, replete with jihad against the infidel. Same with the phrase “worshippers of the cross”—Islam’s ancient appellation for the hated Christians.
The reason behind this latest rampage is Muslim outrage over the appearance of a film deemed offensive about the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Apparently it depicts him inciting jihads, deceiving people, and exercising his libido—not unlike what is recorded in Islam’s own authoritative biographies and hadiths of the prophet. It is not exactly clear who made the video, though Egyptian expatriates and Copts are being accused, possibly in conjunction with Pastor Terry Jones. In other words, the reason for this latest bit of Muslim outrage is once again the issue of free speech—in the same camp of Danish Muhammad cartoons, burned Korans, and any number of other freedoms of expression exercised by non-Muslims, and even Muslims.
The U.S.’s formal response to this terror campaign against its embassy and the desecration of the American flag has, once again, been to lay the blame on free speech. In a statement, the U.S. said, “The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals [film makers] to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”
Interestingly, while very concerned about the “religious feelings of Muslims,” the U.S. embassy in Egypt had nothing to say about the fact that, right before it was attacked, a Christian man in Egypt stood on trial for “insulting” Islam—even as a throng of Muslims besieged the court-house, interrupting the hearing and calling for the man’s death. Apparently appeasing thin skins is more important than speaking up for those whose lives are at stake—not just Christian Egyptians, but now U.S. employees—over issues of freedom.
Left unsaid and unknown in any Western media is the fact that the U.S. embassy has long been under threat, but for different reasons. Earlier, the Egyptian paper El Fagr reported that Jihadi groups in Egypt, including Islamic Jihad, the Sunni Group, and Al Gamaa Al Islamiyya had issued a statement threatening to burn the U.S. embassy in Cairo to the ground unless all the Islamic jihadis currently imprisonment and in detention centers in the U.S. including Guantanamo Bay were released:
“The group, which consists of many members from al-Qaeda, called [especially] for the quick release of the jihadi [mujahid] sheikh, Omar Abdul Rahman [the 'Blind Sheikh'], whom they described as a scholar and jihadi who sacrificed his life for the Egyptian Umma, who was ignored by the Mubarak regime, and [President] Morsi is refusing to intervene on his behalf and release him, despite promising that he would. The Islamic Group has threatened to burn the U.S. Embassy in Cairo with those in it, and taking hostage those who remain [alive], unless the Blind Sheikh is immediately released.”
Despite all this—despite longstanding threats to the U.S. embassy, followed by a real attack, culminating with the destruction of the American flag—Victoria Nuland, the U.S. State Department’s Spokesperson, speaking in response to this latest attack, said that “none of this suggests that there are hostile feelings for the U.S. in Egypt.”
In fact, none of this is surprising—neither the attack on the U.S. embassy, nor the U.S. government’s head-in-the-sand response, with strong words reserved only for those non-Muslims exercising their free speech rights. This event also explains the situation in a way that even a child can understand: the more you appease—as the Obama administration has been doing with the Islamic world in ways unprecedented—the more contempt you earn from those you appease, and the more demands will be made of you. Thus, today, far from being respected as a super-power, the U.S. is increasingly seen as a subdued, contemptuous dhimmi—who must say “how high?” whenever Muslims command “jump!”

The Obama Watch
A Black Flag Day for America
By Ross Kaminsky on 9.12.12 @ 6:10AM
Guaranteed to be so by the official U.S. response.
On a pretense of anger about an anti-Islamic film, "ultra-conservative" Muslim "protesters" attacked the U.S. embassies in Cairo, Egypt, and Benghazi, Libya, on Tuesday. (Short video of the Cairo mob here.)
In Egypt, some of the protesters scaled the embassy walls, went into a courtyard, and took down the American flag. They tried (and failed) to burn it, then tore it up, and then put up a black Islamic flag.
My immediate question is this: Why did the first terrorist to touch our flag not have his head blown off? Or perhaps: Why did the first terrorist to touch our flag not receive a "warning shot" to the arm or leg, and the second terrorist, who presumably was not impressed by the admonition, not then have his head blown off?
The AP reports that the attack in Libya was far worse:
In the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, a large mob stormed the U.S. Consulate, with gunmen firing their weapons, said Wanis al-Sharef, an Interior Ministry official in Benghazi. A witness said attackers fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades at the consulate as they clashed with Libyans hired to guard the facility.
Outnumbered by the crowd, Libyan security forces did little to stop them, al-Sharef said.
The crowd overwhelmed the facility and set fire to it, burning most of it and looting the contents, witnesses said.
One American was shot to death and a second was wounded in the hand, al-Sharef said. He did not give further details, and there was no immediate U.S. confirmation of the death.
And on Wednesday morning, we learned that US Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, along with three other embassy staff members were killed in the attack. President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton offered statements of outrage and condolence, but some of the blame can be found when they look in the mirror.
Again, I ask, why are there not dozens of dead Libyan radicals lying on the American sovereign territory they were invading?
The offending film, of which you can see a 14-minute clip here, is a pathetic farcical joke of a film which comes across as more like Monty Python than a serious critique of Islam or anything else. Furthermore, it was posted to the web two months ago.
Much as radicals used the Koran burning incident to justify murder in Afghanistan early this year, there can be no doubt that Tuesday's protest used this ridiculous movie as a pretext to attack America on September 11.
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo offered an apology for the film that it claims was issued before the protest started. Color me skeptical on that aspect, but even so the statement was a pathetic embarrassment -- and perfect reflection of the thinking of the blame-America-first Obama administration:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims -- as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.
This is, not surprisingly, a remarkable misstatement of the First Amendment. Saying something offensive is not "abusing" free speech. And what about the Islamic world, or even much of Europe, makes them claim that the right of free speech is "universal"? Perhaps they meant in theory rather than in practice, in which case our Founders might agree, but what is the point of making a statement like that to people who will never believe it, and who will take such a statement as incitement to further violence simply because it proves that we have decided on a suicidal strategy of Islamic rope-a-dope… from which we will never suddenly hit back.
Even if you take the embassy's word that it put this note out before the protest started, it restated its support for the statement well into the night, well after the protest began, and presumably before it ended.
On the Cairo embassy's Twitter feed were posted the following "tweets" which appear to be in response to others (numbers are part of the tweets, not added by me):
1) Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
2) Of course we condemn breaches of our compound, we're the ones actually living through this.
3) Sorry, but neither breaches of our compound or angry messages will dissuade us from defending freedom of speech AND criticizing bigotry.
And then they followed up with this gem:
This morning's condemnation (issued before protest began) still stands. As does our condemnation of unjustified breach of the Embassy.
Wow, the hateful, violent radicals must be shaking in terror at the fearsome response of the world's only superpower. An "unjustified breach"! Sounds like something that needs a little Preparation H.
But in fact, it needed a few U.S. Marines with HK416s and a set of rules of engagement designed to actually deter those who would do us harm.
These radicals are made that much braver by the obvious timidity and pro-Muslim bias of Barack Hussein Obama. Can you imagine what the Islamic world is thinking after we react to attacks on our embassies with soft words and apologies on the same day that it is reported that Barack Obama won't meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because it's just too inconvenient for Obama's campaign schedule? (I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that Obama's campaign advisers, desperate to win Florida in November, find a way to make the meeting happen.)
None of this is an accident or coincidence. It is our enemies testing us and finding us weak. And it is the surest way to embolden Islamofascists to test us further with more aggressive and more deadly attacks on American interests in the Islamic world, not least because the local police and military forces were unwilling or unable (most likely the former) to defend our embassy.
It is only the Obama administration that doesn't not realize that we are at war with "radical" Islam. Not only do the "protesters" know it, but the President of Egypt knows it; after all, he is just one of them in a more expensive suit.
Speaking of Islamic wolves in sheep's clothing: On Wednesday, the Afghani President Hamaid Karzai issued a statement denouncing the "inhuman and abusive act." But he was not talking about the killings in Libya. He was referencing the making of the anti-Islamic film. Karzai, whose rhetoric after the Koran burning incident in February probably led to some of the subsequent murder of Americans, added that "Such an obscene act of an extremist filmmaker should not be allowed to hurt the feelings of Islamic world." Apparently, if censorship isn't possible, the proper response to "hurt feelings" is murder; after all, what else does "should not be allowed" mean in a part of the world where the wrong haircut can earn you a severe beating?
The Obama team doesn't even recognize radical Islam. So here's an easy test that Hillary Clinton can order embassy staff to try: Say to someone that you are not sure that Mohammed is a prophet. If that someone responds by shooting you, you know he is a radical Islamist. But then, Hillary would say that the person shot deserved it for being so insensitive.
Tuesday's actions in Egypt and Libya were acts of war against the United States. By allowing the terrorist "protesters" to fly a black flag on our territory, the Muslim world and perhaps our allies elsewhere see us as waving the white flag of surrender. And who can blame them?

Krauthammer To Muslim Protestors In Egypt: “Go To Hell”
Tammy Bruce Live Wire ^ | September 11, 2012 | Tammy Bruce
Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 9:17:07 AM by el_texicano
Via Daily Caller:
“That statement is an embarrassment. That is a hostage statement. That’s a mob of al-Qaeda sympathizers in Egypt, forcing the United States make a statement essentially of apology, on 9/11 of all days, for something we’re not responsible. I would issue a statement saying to the mob, ‘go to hell.’
The way America works, the way democracy works is that everybody has a right to express themselves. We don’t police our speech. And you ought to apologize to the United States for storming the embassy and the violation of the ultimate sacred principle of democracy, which is protecting embassies and missions abroad.
For the U.S. to essentially issue a veiled apology, I think is disgraceful.”

Well done Barack, you have full filled Carters second term. By now we should know you don't apologize or appease these fuckers.

Egypt intelligence warns of attacks on Israel, US embassies
By JPOST.COM STAFF
09/11/2012 16:58
Egypt's General Intelligence Service warned that a jihadi group is planning to launch terrorist attacks against the US and Israeli embassies in Cairo, according to a report Tuesday by Egypt Independent, citing a secret letter obtained by Al-Masry Al-Youm.
According to the report, the attack is being planned by Global Jihad, the group suspected of killing 16 Egyptian border guards in Sinai on August 5.
Al-Masry Al-Youm reportedly obtained a copy of the September 4 letter, sent to all Egyptian security sectors, warning that Sinai- and Gaza-based Global Jihad cells were planning attacks on the two embassies.
Egypt's military is engaged in an ongoing campaign to root out Sinai-based terrorists.

11 Sep 2012
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/09/11/Hillary-Contradicts-Obama-on-Egypt-Apology
For the second time in as many weeks, the State Department has contradicted President Barack Obama, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton re-affirmed the apologetic stance disavowed earlier this evening by the White House in reacting to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Cairo by a mob of radical Egyptian Al Qaeda sympathizers on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Clinton's statements on the day's events, released through the State Department's website and Twitter feed, condemn "in the strongest possible terms" an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya in Benghazi that left one American dead, but offer no condemnation of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Cairo.
Instead, Clinton reiterates an apology issued earlier today by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo--now deleted--which said: "We condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims."
"The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," Clinton said. "Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation," she added.
However, the White House has distanced itself from such apologies, according to Politico, saying that they were not "cleared by Washington."
Evidently, there is some discord in Washington.
Last week, the State Department contradicted the President when it reiterated its position that the U.S. does not consider Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
President Obama was reported to have intervened with the Democratic Party leadership during the Democratic National Convention to re-insert language supporting Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
However, Politico reported--and then quietly scrubbed--the fact that President Obama had likely insisted on the change, after a controversy on his administration's evolving Jerusalem policy.
Regardless, at the end of the week the State Department and the White House found themselves at odds--just as they do today over the apology to Egypt for the attack on the U.S. embassy on 9/11.

The President and the Arab Fall
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 12th, 2012 at 03:30 AM | 27
RESIZE: AAA
Oh if only Islamic radicals would riot over the HHS contraception mandate and gay marriage. If they did, the Administration would fall all over themselves to apologize.
Don’t believe me? Consider yesterday’s events well chronicled by Jeff Emanuel.
A group in the United States exercised their first amendment rights, which set off rioting yet again among the religion of peace. Egyptians stormed the American Embassy, torn down the American flag, burned it, and replaced it with a black flag used by Al Qaeda. In Libya, our consulate was attacked and an Embassy employee killed.
The Obama Administration’s Egyptian Embassy responded by apologizing that someone somewhere exercised their first amendment rights and dared offend the religion of peace. In fact, the Embassy wants it known that no religion should ever ben offended ever. So you Christians who think Jesus is the only path to Heaven, don’t say it. It might offend someone. [UPDATE: The initial response happened before the walls were scaled, though afterwards the Embassy stood by that response on twitter.]
I guess now Barack Obama will abandon calls for gay marriage and Democrats everywhere will stop calling Christians “bigots” for standing up for their religion. After all, it appears now to be American policy to apologize for offending religious sensibilities.
But wait, overnight the White House distanced itself from the United States Embassy in Cairo. That’s right. The White House “disavowed” the statement. On Twitter, however, the Embassy was standing by its statement. A White House and its own Ambassador operating out of different play books is not good. Well, except, the Embassy deleted that tweet, but here it is:
Barack Obama embraced the Arab Spring. He encourage it. He encouraged the people of Egypt and the people of Libya. Now, to quote Jeremiah Wright, the chickens are coming home to roost. You lay down with the Muslim Brotherhood, you’re still the infidel swine.
This will not end well. Mordor is restless. Egypt and Iran are now collaborating. Mr. Romney may lack the foreign policy experience of a sitting President of the United States, but he would never apologize for Christians in exile making a movie. And he would never seek to put distance between his administration and Israel just as Egypt and Iran begin courting.
11 year later in the war on terror, Obama has turned ‘let’s roll’ into let’s apologize.
By the way, yesterday Barack Obama’s Party, done with booing God and Jerusalem, released a tribute to veterans that showcased Russian ships. Ahhh . . . Keystone Cops.

LOL, what law did he break

Well this will turn out sour.
The US does not follow any law when it comes to doing what it wants. Just like Israel.
Israel had literally thousands of UN resolutions against it. But the US veto'd every single one.
When the whole world was opposed to the unilateral invasion of iraq by the united states and the lies of Powell did not fly at the UN (those fake audio tapes and photoshopped bullshit photos circa 1990s hollywood).. the US said fuck it we dont care about the UN, we are going anyway.
As usual. The US an Israel do whatever they want. Law is only what the US decides to bomb with.

The most corrupt, incompetent and inept organization on the planet. You know it's a joke when you have some of the worst violators of human rights on the planet (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, North Sudan, etc, etc) serving on its human rights council (you know, the one that passes all those "resolutions").
Ahmad is a whiny little small-dicked bitch and a societal outcast. Not even a born Muslim but a little pussy convert who took the extremist angle to try to fit in. It's cute. ::)
By the way, Ahmed, the UN doesn't set any "laws" for the US. No one gives a fuck about a "resolution" passed by some third-world carpet-kisser. Hope this helps.

Former deputy national security adviser: US response to embassy attack ‘bizarre and unacceptable’
The Daily Caller ^ | September 12, 2012 | Jamie Weinstein, senior editor
Posted on September 12, 2012 2:21:16 AM EDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Former deputy national security adviser Elliot Abrams and renowned Middle East scholar Barry Rubin lambasted the U.S. Embassy in Cairo’s response to Tuesday’s attack on it by Egyptian protesters.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo was attacked by an Egyptian mob to protest an obscure and almost entirely unheard of American film being made that supposedly depicts the Muslim prophet Muhammad in a negative light. According to Reuters, some of the Egyptian vigilantes scaled the embassy walls, pulled down the American flag and burned it, and attempted to raise a black jihadi flag with the inscription, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”
In response to the brazen attack, the American embassy in Cairo released a statement to criticize the film — not the protesters committing violence.
“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions,” the embassy in Cairo said in a statement.
“Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”
Abrams, who advised President George W. Bush and is a senior fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, told The Daily Caller that he found the embassy’s statement “bizarre and unacceptable.”
“nstead of a protest the embassy has responded with a statement that says nothing about this failure by the government of Egypt to protect our people and property,” he wrote in an email. “Instead it criticized those who say mean things about Islam, when in fact in Egypt today it is non-Muslims, and Christians in particular, who feel threatened. So I find the embassy statement untimely on 9/11, bizarre and unacceptable.”
Rubin, who directs the The Global Research in International Affairs in Israel, found the embassy’s statement baffling.
“The response to an attack on the U.S. embassy by several revolutionary Islamist groups — one of which is the Egyptian affiliate of al-Qaida — is to apologize for hurting Muslim feelings!” he exclaimed in an email. “Yet the problem is not the production of some obscure film that no American knows anything about but the political program of the jihadists, Salafists, and Muslim Brotherhood to destroy U.S interests in the region.”
“And the administration doesn’t seem to notice that the new regime’s media and institutions are promoting anti-American incitement despite all the nice things Obama is doing for it,” Rubin added. “And all this on the anniversary of September 11!”
Abrams questioned why the Egyptian government didn’t do a better job protecting the embassy.
“On the anniversary of 9/11, thousands of Egyptians chose to protest at the U.S. Embassy, in essence making common cause not with the victims of 9/11 but with its perpetrators,” he said. “First, the United States embassy ought to be protesting the lack of police protection. The demonstration was planned, and known in advance. Why did police not protect the embassy? Why did they permit protesters to scale the walls?”
Late Tuesday evening, the Obama administration disavowed the embassy’s statement.
“The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” a senior White House official told Politico.
No embassy staff were reported to have been hurt in the attack in Cairo.
Two gunmen also attacked the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya Tuesday, killing one U.S. official.

Obama compares his campaign volunteers to embassy staff killed in Libya
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | Sept. 12, 2012 | Joel Gehrke
Posted on September 12, 2012 11:01:48 PM EDT by Free ThinkerNY
President Obama told his campaign volunteers in Nevada that he is “really proud” of them after comparing them to the U.S. ambassador and embassy staff murdered in Libya.
“And obviously [our] hearts are broken for the families but I wanted to encourage those folks at the State Dept. that they were making a difference,” Obama told volunteer leaders in Las Vegas, according to the pool report. “The sacrifices that our troops and our diplomats make are obviously very different from the challenges that we face here domestically but like them, you guys are Americans who sense that we can do better than we’re doing….I’m just really proud of you.”

One of Culprits behind Egyptian Embassy attack scheduled to visit U.S. next week
Shoebat ^ | 9/13/12 | Walid Shoebat
Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2012 8:41:23
The attacks on U.S. Embassies had very little to do with the latest film and much more to do with the old story of the Muhammad Cartoon and the failure of Muslims to prosecute internationally the culprits who drew the Muhammad cartoons. This will be another attempt to change the laws globally.
Wisam Abdul Waris of Dar Al-Hekma (House of Wisdom) – about whom the Nour Salafist party announced publicly that its call to demonstrate was in support of – began a call to push for the passage of laws to be placed in the Egyptian Constitution – as well as internationally – that would make it illegal to criticize Islam.
The evidence can be found on this video, where Wisam tells viewers, in Arabic about his plans:
Here is a translation of the relevant portion:
We have moved to review with Mr. Rifai all the legal procedures today by which we created The Voice of Wisdom Coalition (I’itilaf Sawt al-Hekma); it will hold accountable everyone who insults Islam locally and internationally, in accordance with every country’s laws. We all know the problems Yasser Al-Habib had in London and after that in Berlin… in Germany, an extremist group was allowed to publicize cartoons that insult the prophet in front of the Salafist Mosque in Berlin, through a legal decision. So what we did was to ask Sharabi Mahmoud to reject this legal decision on behalf of the Egyptian people who are Muslim; for this reason, we created this coalition. We also made an official request from the Church in Egypt to issue a public announcement, to state it has nothing to do with this deed.
Then you have the official statements from the Nour Salafist party, which announces an official partnering with this call.

REPORTS: Marines not permitted live ammo

http://freebeacon.com/reports-marines-not-permitted-live-ammo
U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo.
Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit US Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blog spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any US military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”
If true, the reports indicate that Patterson shirked her obligation to protect U.S. interests, Nightwatch states.
“She did not defend US sovereign territory and betrayed her oath of office,” the report states. “She neutered the Marines posted to defend the embassy, trusting the Egyptians over the Marines.”
While Marines are typically relied on to defend U.S. territory abroad, such as embassies, these reports indicate that the Obama administration was relying on Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood-backed government to ensure American security, a move observers are questioning as violence in Cairo continues to rage.

Thanks Obama –The Terrorists You Used To Topple Regimes Are Now Attacking Our Embassies
American Dream ^ | Septembe 12, 2012 | Michael Snyder
Posted on 09/13/2012 6:00:42 AM PDT by
Many of us tried to warn Barack Obama that using militants from al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations to overthrow governments in the Middle East would not end well.
The Obama administration has been so determined to get rid of some of these dictators in the Middle East that they have not even really stopped to think about who would be replacing them. Our leaders assured us that those opposed to Mubarak and Gaddafi were "freedom fighters" that just wanted "liberty" and "democracy" in those countries.
Well, of course it turns out that the folks that took control of both Egypt and Libya bear no resemblance to George Washington whatsoever. They have simply replaced one form of tyranny with an even worse form of tyranny.
Sadly, the last couple of days have been a huge wake up call for all of us. Radical Islamic militants stormed the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt and replaced the American flag with the al-Qaeda flag. In Benghazi, Libya the U.S. consulate was attacked by a crowd equipped with guns, homemade bombs and rocket-propelled grenades. They torched the consulate, looted it, and killed the U.S. ambassador and three other U.S. officials. Apparently they are not as grateful for our help in "liberating" their homelands as the Obama administration thought they would be.
Unfortunately, our politicians fundamentally misunderstand what is going on in the Middle East, and this is going to continue to lead to more policy errors.
For years, our politicians told us that "al-Qaeda" was the big enemy in the "War on Terror".
But then during the "Arab Spring" the U.S. government was openly working with "al-Qaeda" and a bunch of other similar organizations all over the Middle East to overthrow established governments. To say that our approach to the Middle East has been "inconsistent" would be a massive understatement.
After the protesters stormed the U.S. embassy in Cairo, they made it very clear who they are aligned with. They tore down the U.S. flag and desecrated it, and they put up a black Islamic flag in its place.

U.S. Embassy calls out Muslim Brotherhood for conflicting tweets
Yahoo News ^ | 13 Sep 2012 | Ron Recinto
Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2012 5:42:01 PM by mandaladon
The U.S. called out the Muslim Brotherhood for apparently tweeting a different set of messages—a kind one in English, and one in Arabic with a different tone—as demonstrators and security forces were battling outside the embassy in Cairo.
The Muslim Brotherhood's English-language Twitter account (@Ikhwanweb) retweeted a message from deputy head Khairat el-Shater saying he was "relieved none of @USEmbassyCairo staff was harmed" and hoped U.S.-Egypt relations "will sustain [the] turbulence of Tuesday's events."
However, according to ahramonline.com, the Brotherhood's Arabic-language Twitter account and its website were praising the protests staged against a U.S.-made film that some Muslims deem insulting to the Prophet Muhammad. The Brotherhood's messages also called for a million-man march on Friday.
That prompted an interesting response from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo: "Thanks. By the way, have you checked out your own Arabic feeds? I hope you know we read those too."
Later the Brotherhood responded, "we understand you're under a lot of stress, but it will be more helpful if you point out exactly the Arabic feed of concern." The exchange in cyberspace underscores the relationship between Egypt and the U.S.
President Barack Obama said in an interview with Spanish-language network Telemundo, "I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy."
Egypt is a "new government that is trying to find its way," Obama said. The president warned, however, that if the Egyptian government takes actions showing they're not taking responsibility, then it would "be a real big problem."

**UPDATE**
Further Marine spokesman at Pentagon Lt Col Chris Hughes says these reports are NOT true. This is on the record:
“The Ambassador and RSO have been completely and appropriately engaged with the security situation. No restrictions on weapons or weapons status have been imposed. This information comes from the Det Commander at AMEMB Cairo.”

2. EGYPT THREAT: President Mohammed Morsi and the Supreme Council of the Moslem Brothers planned and endorsed the demonstration in Cairo at least two weeks before the event. Morsi and Moslem Brothers continued to endorse it. The video provocation did not exist before September 10. The video is excuse. Morse wants $10 Billion from US. Latest information is that Morsi WILL NOT meet with Obama in NY during UN meetings.

Analysis: Film at heart of Libya attack may be Fake (Mystery Deepens)

Analysis: Film at heart of Libya attack may be fake By JPOST.COM STAFF
09/13/2012 03:57
Offensive references to Islam sloppily inserted in post-production; film's cast and crew say original plot unrelated to religion.
Details casting doubt on the authenticity of the controversial film Innocence of Muslims, which sparked protests in Cairo and spurred the Libya attack that killed US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, mounted on Wednesday. A series of facts brought to light by online media such as Gawker, Buzzfeed and blogs on CNN, The Atlantic, and The Christian Science Monitor paint the picture of a possible hoax.
In the film's 14-minute trailer (below), which set off the crisis after it was posted to YouTube, the name Muhammad and anti-Islam remarks are clearly dubbed over the original words, clashing with the film's visual cues. The sloppy editing calls into question whether the Hollywood film was, in fact, really created as an anti-Muslim screed, or simply edited to look that way. Despite an alleged $5 million budget, the production quality of the film is very low.
Those involved in making the film, originally entitled Desert Warrior instead of Innocence of Muslims, denied that the film was meant to have anything to do with Islam, saying they were unaware of any such intentions during the film's production. According to CNN, a statement released by the film's 80-strong cast and crew said they were "grossly misled about its intent and purpose," and were "shocked by the drastic re-writes of the script and lies that were told to all involved."
One of the film's actresses, Cindy Lee Garcia, told Gawker that, as far as she knew, the film was going to be "based on how things were 2,000 years ago," a time period that predates Islam by some 600 years.
"It wasn't based on anything to do with religion, it was just on how things were run in Egypt. There wasn't anything about Muhammed or Muslims or anything," Garcia told Gawker. According to Garcia, the character portrayed as Muhammed was called "Master George" in the script.
Then comes the identity of the allegedly Jewish, Israeli-born director/scriptwriter, Sam Bacile.
As The Jerusalem Post reported, a high-ranking Israeli official in Los Angeles said that after numerous inquiries, it appeared that no one in the Hollywood film industry or in the local Israeli community had ever heard of him.
Steve Klein, a "a self-described militant Christian activist in Riverside, California" who was involved with the film, told The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg that Bacile was not the director's real name, and that he was not Israeli and probably not Jewish either. "I would suspect this is a disinformation campaign," Klein said.
The mounting evidence seems to suggest that the trailer was either a poorly-edited, wild rewrite of the film's original script or a flat out hoax, though no evidence has yet emerged confirming the possibility

US-commanded MFO in Sinai under attack -- dead reported in compound
Caroline Glick ^ | September 14, 2012 | Caroline Glick
Posted on September 14, 2012 6:13:05 PM EDT by combat_boots
Israel media - Channel 2 - just reported that the US-commanded Multi-National Force Observors headquarters in the Sinai is under assault. Salafists laid seige to the building this afternoon and some 50 armed men stormed it. There is fighting going on in the building and there are dead inside. The MFO is the force that was established under the Israel-Egypt peace treaty. It is charged with guaranteeing the demilitarization of the Sinai.
The MFO has two bases. I believe that the one under attack is in northern Sinai, built on an old Israeli Air Force base.
The MFO has come under attack several times since the outset of the US-supported Islamic revolution there. The US approved and forced Israel to accept the deployment of Egyptian tanks in the Sinai some weeks ago as part of a much touted counterterror offensive of the Egyptian military. Its results were inconclusive but at Israel's insistence, the tanks were removed a couple weeks ago. Egyptian President Morsi supports the remilitarization of the Sinai. It is hard not to see the strategic implications of this attack on the MFO.
