Lybian Militias attack U.S. embassy in Benghazi

Obama condemns embassy attackers, critics of Islam in statement
9:14 AM 09/12/2012

 
President Barack Obama on Wednesday “strongly condemned” the Islamist attack that killed four American diplomats in Libya, but he also used the same statement to condemn Americans’ criticism of Islam.
 
“While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants,” he said in a 7:21 a.m. statement.
 
The attack in Libya came as Islamists also broke into the U.S. embassy in Egypt, and marks the growing clout of popular Islamist groups following the U.S.-backed removal of those countries’ authoritarian governments.
 
Obama’s two-sided message came only a few hours after Gov. Mitt Romney accused him of sympathizing with the Islamists who attacked the U.S diplomatic sites on the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2011 attack by other Islamists that killed 3,000 Americans.
 
“I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt,” Romney said. But, he added, it “is 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,” said his late-night Sept. 11 statement.
 
Romney’s sharp statement came after news reports revealed that the Cairo embassy tried to appease a planned Sept. 11 protest which was called by Islamists who oppose any criticism of Islam in any country.
 
The Islamist protestors occupied part of the embassy, and tore down the U.S. flag. They said they were angry about a movie being shot in California that highlights many damaging statements and actions attributed by orthodox Muslims to Islam’s 7th century prophet, Muhammad.
 
Shortly before the protest began, the embassy condemned the movie’s Californian producers for “abuse” of the United States Constitution’s First Amendment.
 
“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,” said the embassy statement.
 
That statement was reportedly repudiated late last night by a White House official. “The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” an administration official said, according to Politico.
 
However, Obama has previously condemned U.S. critics of Islam.
 
In 2011, Islamists in northern Afghanistan went on a rampage and murdered several locals and aid-workers after a U.S. pastor, Terry Jones, burned a copy of the Koran book.  Earlier, the President of the United States used the power of his office to deter the pastor of the little-known church in Florida from burning copies of the Koran book.
 
“The idea that we would burn the sacred texts of someone else’s religion… is contrary to what this nation is founded upon, and my hope is that this individual prays on its and refrains from doing it,” Obama said during a September 2010 press conference in the White House.
 
“We’ve got an obligation to send a very clear message [to Americans that this kind of behavior or threats of action put our young men and women in harms way,.. this is a way of endangering our troops, our sons and daughters, fathers, mothers, husbands and wives,” he insisted, without condemning people who threaten to kill Americans if their favored books are burned.
 
In recent years, Islamists have threatened and attacked numerous critics of Islam. For example, Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris went underground in 2010 after Islamists threatened her for urging cartoonists to defy Islamic objections to the ridicule of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad. In 2012, an American Muslim convert was sentenced to 11 years in jail for threatening to attack the producers of the “South Park” cartoon.
 
Around the Mediterranean, the growing role of popular Islamist movements is eclipsing the threat posed by the non-government Al Qaeda Islamist group, and seems set to spur many conflicts with the U.S.
 
However, the attacks on the embassies may also create difficulties for Obama’s reelection, just as the rise of Islamists in Iran during President Jimmy Carter’s term helped cause his loss in the 1980 election. Carter did not oppose the Iranian Islamists’ power grab, and they subsequently took hostage the staff of the U.S. embassy in Tehran.

The lybian security detail tol the mob of animals where he was. 

I thought these Embassies had a dozen Marines with M16s or so though?  Just seems like this kind of thing couldn't happen unless someone was completely negligent on security.

Until recently soldiers couldn't carry loaded weapons in FOB's, you think the ROE's are any better at an embassy?

That's fucked, are you serious?

[a_ahmed]

So looks  like your israeli friends are backstabbing Americans yet again and the idiot moron redneck pastor Terry Jones probably got a good bucket load of cash in spreading hate and misleading garbage against Muslims while he's at it.

American killed in Libya attack; Israeli filmmaker in hiding

Protesters angered over film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Mohammed shot dead an American official at US embassy in Benghazi; Jewish Israeli filmmaker goes into hiding

Associated Press
Published:    09.12.12, 08:43 / Israel News

Protesters in Egypt and Libya attacked US diplomatic missions on Tuesday in a spasm of violence that led to the death of a State Department officer at the consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi after fierce clashes at the compound.
 
The violence in Benghazi followed protests in neighboring Egypt where protesters scaled the walls of the Cairo embassy and tore down the American flag and burned it during protests over what demonstrators said was a US film that insulted the Prophet Mohammed.

Following the spasm of attacks, the filmmaker, who identifies himself as an Israeli Jew, has gone into hiding.
 
Writer and director Sam Bacile spoke on the phone Tuesday from an unidentified location. He remained defiant, saying Islam is "a cancer" and he wanted his film to make a political statement.

The 56-year-old says he believes his video will help his native land by exposing Islam's flaws to the world. Excerpts dubbed into Arabic were posted on YouTube.
 
Among other claims that have caused outrage, the film claims Mohammed was a philanderer who approved of child sexual abuse.
 
Bacile says he's sorry for the person who died, but blames lax embassy security.

The film that sparked riots
 
According to the Wall Street Journal, Bacile said he raised $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors, whom he declined to identify. Working with about 60 actors and 45 crew members, he said he made the two-hour movie in three months last year in California.
 
The film has been promoted by Dr. Terry Jones, the Florida pastor whose burning of Qurans previously sparked deadly riots around the world, who said Tuesday that he planned to show a 13-minute trailer that night at his church in Gainesville, Fla.
 
"It is an American production, not designed to attack Muslims but to show the destructive ideology of Islam," he said in a statement. "The movie further reveals in a satirical fashion the life of Muhammad."

Meanwhile, in wake of the attacks on US diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya, republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney harshly criticized the Obama administration for its response to the attacks.
 
In a statement Tuesday night, Romney says he's outraged by the attacks. But he calls it "disgraceful" that the Obama administration's first reaction wasn't to condemn the Tuesday attacks but, in Romney's words, "to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
 
Earlier in the day, the US Embassy in Cairo issued a statement condemning what it called "continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims," an apparent reference to the video.
 
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirmed the death of the US diplomat, who was not identified, and condemned the attack on the Benghazi consulate.

 
Clinton further expressed concern that the protests might spread to other countries. She said the US is working with "partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide."
 
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," Clinton said in a statement released by the State Department. "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."

Muslims are vile, despicable creatures and among the most primitive of the human race. While they are among the racist and intolerant group of people around, they are also at the same time the most insecure and bitter; hence their need to rape, pillage and murder anytime they feel slighted.

If Islam is so good then why do they all live in squalor and struggle with certain concepts like reading?

[a_ahmed]

Go and recall your diplomats from Israel.

An Israeli film maker in hiding a US/Israeli citizen, and Terry Pastor Jones a US citizen and that anti-islam extremist copt US Egyptian citizen are inciting hate, division, violence.

Why not deport the Israeli and Egyptian who claim to also have US citizenship?

Where is the outrage? If it was someone advocating hitler, the holocaust and denying the holocaust and making anti-semetic movies there would be an uproar, protests, sanctions, whatever.

Hypocricy.

Oh and Muslims wrote books while europeans burned them. Before you start talking about 'literacy'. America is barely baring for literacy. Being able to read and speak is hardly commendable when American children barely pass school and you have a pathetic weak education system compared to the rest of the world.

[Fury]

Why should we be outraged? There's this little thing called "freedom of speech" in the West. It's a concept that you Mohammedans are unfamiliar with. This stems from your sexual insecurities and your massive inferiority complexes. 

Islamic clerics routinely compare Christians and Jews to apes and pigs (among other things). No one riots or cries about it. You should try again with your next gimmick, SamsonJag.

[a_ahmed]

Actually its Jews who call christians apes. Haven't you watched Israeli tv? They call Jesus a monkey.

[Kazan]

That's fucked, are you serious?

Yep, with the rash of green on blue killings the ROE has been changed

[Fury]

Actually its Jews who call christians apes. Haven't you watched Israeli tv? They call Jesus a monkey.

It's in your holy books, pedo.

Muslims are insecure, small-dicked societal misfits. When the oil dries up, you will cease to be relevant.

[Fury]

This film was financed with the help of a Coptic Christian, who is a true Egyptian and not a foreign, imperialist Mohammedan that crawled out of Medina (where they should go back to).

[a_ahmed]

No, the qur'an does not call jews and christians apes and pigs. Jews do call Christians apes though.

What the qur'an actually says and means:

The Question: “Does the Qur’an call Jews pigs and apes? And it is allowed for Muslims to do so?”


Answer:

Thanks for your question.:

In the second chapter of the Qur’an there is the story of the people of the Sabbath who failed to abide by Allah’s commands. Thus, according to the Qur’an they were turned into pigs and apes. However, there are a few important points to this story:

1. It does not refer to all the people of the Jewish faith, but only a certain group of people from the followers of Musa.

2. It is not appropriate for one to call people of the Jewish tradition “pigs and apes” or “sons of pigs and apes” since, besides being extremely rude, it is not correct. All major commentators of Quran mention that these pigs and apes did not reproduce but died off. Sh. Yusuf al-Qaradwi noted this mentioning that one should not do so. Finally, Muslims are ordered by Allah to “Speak that which is best” and to “Call unto the way of your Lord with wisdom.” Thus, it is not befitting for a Muslim to be lowly in his discourse, rude in his manners and bigoted towards others. Allah says, “[you must] be just. It is closer to piety.”

We ask Allah to raise our stations and grant us noble characters.

Correction. An extremist copt that is a US citizen but of Egyptian origin.

Secondly Terry Jones who is a redneck pastor a US citizen of redneck origin.

And most importantly a Jewish US/Israeli dual citizenship moron who funded the whole thing and as interviewed he claims to have gotten funding from Israeli Jewish organizations

[Shockwave]

Islam was framed! It was teh JOOOOOZZZZ!!!!!

[Fury]

You should show that to your clerics as there are thousands of examples of them referring to ALL Christians and Jews as apes and pigs. Nice try, Mohammedan, but I couldn't care less about what the Muslim site you ripped that off says.

Muslims are the most bigoted, racist and intolerant group of people on the planet and they are incapable of assimilating into western society in large numbers.

Why is he an extremist for wanting his country back from imperialist Muslims? Interesting how you defend Muslims who want that.

Just another hypocritical Mohammedan.

[a_ahmed]

Yeah its pretty funny actually. The same people that run washington are causing problem for america and asking america to fight its wars. Pretty amusing indeed that its an israeli american that did this with jewish money. Its also funny that you are 16 trillion dollars in debt and you keep sending financial aid to israel.

The funniest part is, Jewish news outlets have no problem mentioning it.

Who did you shitheads blame before 1948?

[Fury]

It's funny as their actions have vindicated everything in the film. Far be it for Muslims to not be stupid enough to realize that , haha.

[a_ahmed]

The British, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch who at hte time colonized the lands of Muslims. Africa, middle-east.. and well not just lands of Muslims but other lands like asia, south america, various islands, etc...

You see... if you have a memory span of 24 hours you will not realize that. If you also believe "jesus died for our sins" and dont believe in accountability and consequence... you will not realize any of this.

What you do in the past shapes the future. Reap the consequences now.




Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Galatians 6:7

Oh I see so its always someone else's fault Muslims are so fucking gutless they can't even take responsibility for their own actions.

[a_ahmed]

Yea its our action when a bomb drops from an american made airplane. Its because it was OUR FAULT that our house got bombed.

If anything, Muslims are indeed faulted, for abandoning Islam and becoming weak of faith, and turning to materialism, nationalism, ethnic and tribal prides. Which is what the british at the time tried to deliberately instill to divide and conquer.

Muslims are returning to Islam and there is a backlash against this recent history of repression and oppression against the Muslim world. Eat it.

Blah blah blah, go fuck yourself, you can't stay on topic or condemn this bullshit. Why? Because your a Muslim and you think everything a Muslim does gets the A'OK from Allah.

[a_ahmed]

I could not give a damn about your petty flag of murder being ripped to pieces. You came and conquered another country for your petty interests under the guise of 'humanitarian help' (BULLSHIT). It's funny how 'sacred' it is to you. I feel no remorse. Why? Because you don't give a damn when you desecrate our holy book which is priceless, unlike your made in china flag. Your 'ambassador'/CIA stooge dying? You killed a hundred thousand Libyans. You are making one man's death a big deal? The hospitals you bombed? The children you killed or maimed?

Should I feel any remorse for you, when you even MOCK the death of Muslims, mock the mocking of our holy book? Act as hypocrites and snicker and laugh at the ridicule of our faith? You want others to respect you start by respecting OTHERS and their DIGNITY.

You are worthless.
