Iraqi militia threatens U.S. interests over film

(Reuters) - An Iraqi militia that carried out some of the most prominent attacks on foreigners during the Iraq war on Thursday threatened U.S. interests in the country over a film that has triggered protests in Libya, Egypt and Yemen.
 
"The offence caused to the messenger (Prophet Mohammad) will put all American interests in danger and we will not forgive them for that," said Qais al-Khazali, leader of the Asaib al-Haq militia.

The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other staff were killed overnight on Tuesday in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi over the film.

Protests against the film erupted in Baghdad on Thursday and in the city of Basra, 420 km (260 miles) southeast of the capital. Hundreds of followers of anti-U.S. Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr took to the streets calling on the Iraqi government to close the U.S. embassy.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki denounced the film as "insulting" and "racist" but called on Muslims not to react with violence.

"The natural response is to refrain from resorting to violence and demonstrate the principles of Islam and its civilized values," he said in a statement on Thursday.

CALLS TO FIRE U.S. AMBASSADOR

In Baghdad, hundreds of protesters gathered in Sadr's stronghold of Sadr City, holding up posters of Sadr, burning U.S. flags and chanting, "Death to America".

"How long will we stay in this coma where there is no real sanction?" Sheikh Riyadh al-Waeli, a Sadr aid, told protesters. "This demonstration is not enough unless there is a real sanction."

The crowd in Basra also numbered in the hundreds and both Sunni and Shi'ite clerics participated in the demonstration, which was organized by Sadr's office.

"We have to fire the U.S. ambassador because these things are carried out under U.S. supervision and are aimed at offending Islam and Muslims," protester Yaarab al-Mohammadawi told Reuters.

A smaller protest also took place in the city of Najaf, 160 km (100 miles) south of Baghdad.

Maybe because those three have every right to say what they want in this country, it's called freedom of speech, I know you don't understand that though.

[a_ahmed]

Do they have the right to deny the holocaust? Make pro-hitler movies? Pro-holocaust (make/cause a holocaust) movie? Anti-semetism movie shown in theaters?

Huh?

Huh?

Ever seen Passion of the Christ stupid?

[a_ahmed]

LOL that was not anti-semetic are you mentally retarded?

Showing what the Jews themselves claim is not anti-semetic. They pridefuly boast about tortuting and killing Jesus. So if anything he was representing the jewish view.

Ever heard of the talmud? It calls Jesus a bastard, calls marry a whore, and boasts about killing Jesus etc...

Mel Gibson just made a movie based on what they already claim however factual or non factual

[Shockwave]

Yes, of course they do. And there are people here that do. Thats what freedom of speech is.
Derp.

You probably don't even see the hypocrisy in your comments about censoring anti-Islam speech while your regularly denigrate Jews and Christians.

[a_ahmed]

So you are saying there is no problem to make a pro-hitler movie advocating holocaust and denying that an actual holocaust happened? Then broadcast this in theaters and chose a date relating to WW2 events when to show it advertise it etc...

[Shockwave]

Would I approve? No. Can they do it, of course. It's their right to free speech. Now, the Theaters could choose not to air it, and that is their right. But they still have the right to make the movie and show it if they want.

[a_ahmed]

Hehe, it's quite funny. You say its okay. While actually there are laws in place preventing that it's not 'free speech'. It's hate speech.

Jews went out of their way to south america to capture, torture and kill ex-nazis.

So yes they were killing 'someone' over their shit.



Btw, one fucking guy died. A cia spook 'ambassador'. Some made in china flags were burned. You mad?

[Shockwave]

Hehe, it's quite funny. You say its okay. While actually there are laws in place preventing that it's not 'free speech'. It's hate speech.

Really? So you're saying someone can't make a pro-hitler anti-holocaust movie because it's hate speech? Show me an example. Ill wait.

Might want to do some current reading on this "film", slick, as it appears to be fully funded by Coptic Christians. The pastor is just piling on for the publicity and Sam Bacile doesn't exist.

Do you know who Coptic Christians are? They're the native Egyptians whose land you imperialist Arab Muslims STOLE.

[a_ahmed]

lol 'doesn't exist'. Yet he had a phone interview with AP and a few jewish news sites

[Fury]

You're pretty dense. There is no record of a Sam Bacile anywhere.

You don't want to acknowledge that Coptic Christians are in no different a position than you with your cries about imperialism. Muslims stole their land and destroyed one of the most advanced civilizations in the world (at the time) in the process.

[a_ahmed]

Sam Bacile the israeli u mirin brah?

[Shockwave]

Go ahead then, make one to prove a point that its free speech. Lets see you do it

Uh, what? You told me there are hate speech laws, I asked you to prove it. How is the burden of proof on me to prove its free speech? It is free speech, people in this country have the right to say what they believe without fear of reprisal from the Government, your opions are just as protected as the person that idolizes Hitler. Laws in this country are set up to prevent censorship of opions, not to prevent "hate speech".

Hate CRIMES exist, but not "hate speech".

If you wanted to go make an anti-Israel pro-muslim flick, you can, and no one can stop you.

[a_ahmed]

 

Making a movie exposing Israeli and american crimes is politically based.

Making a movie targetting judaism and Jews is anti-semetism. Race based. Religion based.

The first is no problem, when we dont have free speech to criticize governments and expose their crimes then we have a police state. The second though is racism, biggotry, etc...

No one makes a pro-hitler anti-jew movie because they know its hate speech.

You are trying slide under the carpet your hate speech by calling it free speech. It's such a bullshit double standard hypocrite thing. I am loling.

Would someone get away with if he publicly endorsed segregation of blacks and whites in america today? Would he get the chance to put this in theaters?

What are you talking about? There are no laws telling people that they cannot use racial slurs, make hate filled movies, etc...

I may not agree with it but it's their right to their opinions, and it's their right to say it.

As far as the segregation movie, of course someone could make it if they wanted, but theaters dont HAVE to air it, its their right. If they don't like the movie, they don't have to show it in their theaters. However, if there WAS a theater that wanted to show it, its their right.

You're advocating censorship because you don't like others opinions, and it's bullshit. Sorry, I don't believe anyone should be censored just because their opinion may be offensive to someone, and the US Constitution agrees with me.
