GostHacked Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Now this is an interesting turn of events. Apparently a film shown in Egypt and Libya was directed and produced by the Quran Burner himself Pastor Terry Jones. http://abcnews.go.com/International/egyptians-flood-us-embassy-protest-anti-islam-film/story?id=17211455#.UFB6U1Fpk99 An American State Department employee was killed in Benghazi, Libya, today, when Libyans stormed the U.S. consulate, angry about a U.S. movie reportedly linked to controversial Pastor Terry Jones.Anger over the film that some believe insults the Prophet Muhammad also led to protests in Cairo, where demonstrators climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy, took down the American flag and replaced it with a black flag. This was an obvious move to politically motivate and stir the pot overseas. I mean we know Pastor Jones created a stink in Florida with the Quran burning, but now showing a film with what it seems are depictions of Quran burning. I am guessing there is something more to these events ... also that black flag they are raising is possibly the flag of Al-Queda. So NATO helps the rebels in both Egypt and Libya, which have elements of Al-queda. Jones is not taking any blame or responsibility for his obvious provocation actions. So, if he wants to take a serious look at violent Islam, maybe he should try a different approach. Now because of the showing, two embassies were attacked, one in Cairo and the other in Benghazi and one US citizen was killed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19570254 www.cnn.com/2012/09/12/world/africa/libya-us-ambassador-killed/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/12/world/africa/libya-us-ambassador-killed/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Jones says he is not responsible for their actions, but yet making a film critical of Islam provoking the unstable conditions in both Egypt and Libya got Americans killed. WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Jones says he is not responsible for their actions, but yet making a film critical of Islam provoking the unstable conditions in both Egypt and Libya got Americans killed. That's on the people that did the killing not the film mater. No matter how reprehensible this film was, it doesn't justify this. People make insulting "art" directed at Christians and Jews all the time but this never happens. I bet a great majority of the people in these protests have never even seen the video. They just hear "Insulting Mohamed" and the riot switch turns on. Edited September 12, 2012 by Boges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I guess it shows one can't trust anyone any more but then the US only went in there because of the problems Libya was going to cause for the price of oil. Here's some more pictures from the U.K. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2201780/US-ambassador-Christopher-Stevens-killed-attack-Libya.html?openGraphAuthor=%2Fhome%2Fsearch.html%3Fs%3D%26authornamef%3DLeon%2BWatson&videoPlayerURL=http%3A%2F%2Fc.brightcove.com%2Fservices%2Fviewer%2Ffederated_f9%3FisVid%3D1%26isUI%3D1%26publisherID%3D1418450360%26playerID%3D72484359001%26domain%3Dembed%26videoId%3D&hasBCVideo=true&BCVideoID=1834668365001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like how people hear 'Islam is bad' and act the way they do. What Jones is doing is enticing the violence. He knows that if he insults them they will start some violence. This is a deliberate attempt to stir the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should treat a large portion of the world like children that can't control their anger? I'm not defending what this guy did. All I'm saying is the blame for these deaths are the fault of the rioters and the rioters only. We saw this whole thing before with the Danish cartoons that caused similar reactions.

xul Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 It seems like that Americans has got their reward for supporting those "theocratic democracy" in Middle East. The "universal value" of democracy is a lie which is created by all sorts of political-correct books's writers and ammunition makers. Let's review how (or the sequence of) the modern democracy was established in Europe: Phase 1. At first, during known as the Mediaeval period, Europeans were no better than those head-hooding theocratics today---all of them had the tendency to burn anyone desecrating their holy books at the stake; Phase 2. then, the mundane autarchy rised and weakened the power of theocracy, and forced the theocrats to reform their holy stuff into moderate modern religions and away from politics for survival; Phase 3. and then the democrats kicked their kings's asses and established the modern democratic systems. The phase 2 is a vital premise to phase 3. Without weakening theocracy first, what would come out if those mediaeval Europeans went in polling boothes?

punked Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Know what President Romney's response to this would be? Well just like Bush. He would invade Iran trillion dollar war. Good thing there is still an adult in the Whitehouse. Sorry conservatives but Romney would be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) The Muslim Brotherhood isn't so-called western backed. I think he's referring to the likes of Ghadafi, Mumbarak, Assad etc. Also the west backed the Mujahadeen movement in Afghanistan when they were fighting the USSR. The thing about Secular dictators is that at least they don't persecute people based on their religious beliefs like the Mulsim Brotherhood types.

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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see one side acting lime you expect a president to act and the other side acting like children.

Happens in Pakistan, happens in Afghanistan, happens wherever religion is considered the central part of society and daily life at the expense of education. It's a big problem.

I am pointing out that Republican foreign policy is a failure and to pretend it isn't when Romney has all the same advisers as Bush is crazy. The democrats are doing the right thing here.

Say what? They persecute people for any and all reasons, including religious beliefs. Or are you forgetting about Saddam's persecution of Shiites or Assad's persecution of the Sunni majority.

Don't forget the Kurds Saddam hated those peoples to based on who they were and what religion they followed. Iran also persecute s based on religion.
