Tens of thousands of protesters are rallying against an anti-Islamic film in Beirut, Lebanon, following a call for mass demonstrations by Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

Most of the marchers are wearing green and yellow headbands, indicating membership in Hezbollah. The phrase “At your service God’s Prophet” was seen on the protesters’ headbands and banners.

“America, hear us – don’t insult our Prophet,” the protesters are chanting.

The rally is split into two columns, with women marching separately from men. Some are holding portraits of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.

Hassan Nasrallah personally addressed the rally in a rare public appearance. Nasrallah announced the beginning of a global campaign to halt the screening and sharing of the provocative film ‘Innocence of Muslims.’

“Prophet of God, we offer ourselves, our blood and our kin for the sake of your dignity and honor,” Reuters quoted Nasrallah as saying.

The Lebanese political leader called on the international community to criminalize insults to Islam, saying that the world does not understand Muslims’ deep reverence for the Prophet

The Lebanese political leader called on the international community to criminalize insults to Islam, saying that the world does not understand Muslims’ deep reverence for the Prophet Muhammad.

The US should know the film has dangerous repercussions,” Nasrallah said, according to Press-TV. He called for the movie’s creators to be punished appropriately.et Muhammad.

    Did Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah ask for this while offering to stop terrorist attacks and promote other radical Islamic groups to do the same?

    Seems very odd! No admission of obvious Genocide by Arab Muslims on Black Muslims & Christians in Sudan. I personally know Christian Arabs who left the Middle East more than 100 years ago because of Muslim persecution. I know many newer that have left Syria for the very same reason!

    Islam should be a crime and be outlawed. It is nothing but an evil, vicious, vile CULT that was started by a mad man, moehammad, the most evil man that ever lived for his own personal use. He was a murderer, a thief, a rapist, a child molesting pedophile etc.. He married a 6 year old little girl by the name of Aisha, when he was 54 years old.

    so apply that same standard to israel. its the only state that forbids free speech when its fairy tale is questioned. its bad enough its in europe but now its creeping into america!



    "Those who feel it right to question the very motives of the use of the holocaust to preserve Israel and protect it of all its crimes against humanity in Palestine and the occupied territories are condemned severely by the “freedom” lovers in America, Europe and Australia or New Zealand.



    The so called freedom of speech in the west is supposed to allow people to think freely and to act freely too according to their beliefs but the big question is why can’t they protest or question the holocaust. They can however question the deaths of 2 million Iraqis (corrected from 12 millions which was a typing error) – killed by the US and the EU and the UN – thanks to their sanctions against the tiny Arab country.



    They are however allowed to criticize Islam and the Muslims for whatever good or bad they represent and they are to get away if they call Muslim names or draw pictures, cartoons of Muslims and their Prophets and the companions of the Prophet. They are also given gold medals if necessary or big pay checques if they do write books against Muslims and against Islam.



    Yet if they do the sam...

    "California Passes Controversial Resolution Equating Criticism of Israel with Anti-Semiticism On College Campuses

    Published 1, September 6, 2012 Academics , Bizarre , Constitutional Law , Free Speech , Politics , Religion , Society 79 Comments



    Over objections over academic freedom and free speech, the California State Assembly passed a controversial resolution (HR 35) that calls on universities to crackdown on criticism of Israel. Passed by a voice vote, the resolution includes language that equates criticism of Israeli policies and actions as “anti-Semitism.” While the resolutions original purpose is laudatory and does include clear expression of anti-Semitism, its drafters decided to include criticism of Israel and its human rights record in a measure that at a minimum chills free speech by professor and students alike. Drafted by Republican Linda Halderman, there was no hearing or debate allowed on the resolution. Just a voice vote"

    sure you do!
    you need to look it up since it seems you are clueless . the israeli govt,which is who we criticize,is zionist. even biden said he was zionist and he is catholic.

    "Zionism and Anti-Semitism

    We implore and beseech our Jewish brethren to realize that the Zionists are not the saviors of the Jewish People and guarantors of their safety, but rather the instigators and original cause of Jewish suffering in the Holy Land and worldwide. The idea that Zionism and the State of “Israel” is the protector of Jews is probably the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the Jewish People. Indeed, where else since 1945 have Jews been in such physical danger as in the Zionist state?!

    Jews are enjoined by their religious laws to be loyal to the country of which they are citizens. Ever since the destruction of the holy Temple in Jerusalem and the exile of the Jewish People some two thousand years ago, we have been enjoined to be scrupulously loyal to the countries we reside in. One of the great biblical prophets, Jeremiah, in chapter 29 of his book proclaimed G-d's message to all the exiled; verse seven reads, "Seek out the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you and pray for it to the Almighty, for through its welfare will you have welfare." This has been a cornerstone of Jewish morality throughout our history to this very day."
