Protests Get Violent Across the Middle East Over Anti-Muslim Film: Should the Film Have Been Made?

As if the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other U.S. officials wasn't enough, violence continues in the Middle East in protest of an American-made, anti-Muslim film that portrays Prophet Mohammed as a womanizer, killer and child molester.

Clashes between protesters and security forces outside the U.S. Embassies in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Sudan have resulted in a handful of deaths so far. Protesters continue to burn U.S. flags and attempt to storm U.S. Embassies across the Middle East.

Do you think the controversial film should have been made in the first place? Or was it a poor move considering the hyper-sensitive relationship between the East and West right now?

    1. It was not an 'anti-Muslim' film. It was a youtube clip critical of Mohammed.

    2. The murders and riots are not anti-film, they are anti-US

    3. The liberal narrative is to blame the movie because if they did not, it would lead them to the obvious conclusion: Obama's foreign policy of bow and scrape generates more violence against Americans.

    The film had nothing to do whith the rioting, killing, as nearly all of them had never seen the film any way. It was just an excuse. They were rioting because they want the release of the mastermind of the twin towers. muslims incite violence and hatred with their placards, 'behead those who say islam is not a religion of peace,' and others of equal violence, whilst lampooning and insulting Christians and burning flags, poppies and bibles.

    Far too much free speech is being lumped in under the heading of "hate speech", IMO.

    If I say that you're a horrible, horrible person and that any right-thinking individual would see to it that you die a horrible death, that's inciting hatred and violence.

    If I say that you're a horrible, horrible person and you respond by going out and killing everyone whose name starts with 'w' because you're upset by what I said, that's not me inciting violence; that's you proving I was right.

    We all have to use common sense in our free speech. our actions have consequences and those are things we have to consider before doing anything else. But these riots were planned to occure and that video was used to just fuel the fire; we have no backbone in DC these days and this is just the sort of thing that proves it

    If you fart in that part of the world it causes mass panic and hysteria, you can't back down or you will loose your rights. They will NEVER back away until they take away your rights. This is not something that is going away. If you try to be nice and understanding you will get your head chopped off. Its going to be mother of all battles let's pray we don't puss out.

    I'm sorry, but if you're going to reduce yourself to "name calling," then you're going start "to sell yourself short." When you can start acting like an Adult, let me know. I don't play those kind of games & I'm pretty sure that this conversation is at an end! Have A Nice Day!

    lol I really think you just described yourself now. Grow up "loose" boy. You try to sound so mature, so serious, then you (I meant you type, but I bet you also write) "loose"! hahaha you're a joke

    Are you still on a typo thing? Wow..lose..are you satisfied? Please stop it, your only exhibiting the tool you are. I would normally go back and fix it, but your keeping me well enertained with your obvious immaturity. Ya know you do seem a bit closeted. Are you sure theirs not something you like to tell us all regarding your sexuality? Not that theirs anything wrong with that.
  • DnB Babe aRcaNum69 2012/09/21 03:01:56

    Closeted about what? I'm a bisexual girl and it's in my profile, duh! And what sexuality have to do with that? Are you on drugs, baby? I'm starting to think I'm arguing with a retarded. lol And again you try to sound so mature, but you type "Ya"! lol
  • aRcaNum69 DnB Babe 2012/09/21 03:25:10 (edited)
    aRcaNum69
    Wow, I didn't read your profile, but I smelled gay all over you. Now I'm strangely attracted to you and jealous of your boyfriend. And "Ya" is cute slang. What are you an English teacher? I like to play with grammar. What does that have to do with intelligent concepts? All you do is harp on spelling. Really get over it and get on topic. I'm not that bad and it pisses you off. Kiss kiss. P.S. my iPad skips letters, the touch screen is wearing out in one area, so I'm constantly going back to correct. I'm human and sometimes I miss, really again so sorry for such horrible grammar atrocities. Off with my head...lol...oops is "lol" ok with you? I don't "try" to do anything, I'm fully self realized darling.
  • DnB Babe aRcaNum69 2012/09/22 00:01:38

    No, I'm just a Brazilian spoiled brat. I know Ya is a slang (like Yo) and I think it's a immature slang since I don't hear any adult speaking Ya or Yo (except for ghetto people and rappers). Alright, I'm sorry. I'm just tired of seeing everywhere kids typing 'loose' when they meant 'lose', and I thought you purposely mispelled it.

    You brought up sexuality by suggesting a boyfriend of mine. Did you forget that? Are you on drugs love? It was a gay negative comment, oddly though you being bi. And what does spelling have to do with Islam?
  • DnB Babe aRcaNum69 2012/09/22 00:09:17

    I wasn't serious, duh. He just seemed so pissed off because I told you to grow up, like a protective boyfriend :P

    aRcaNum69
    Did you just say, "And what sexuality have to do with that?"..lol now that's ironic. Did you miss a little word called "does" in-between "what" and "sexuality". I'm starting to think I'm arguing with a retard. Now would you call your own words mature based on your own failure to the perfection of spelling and your na na na na na itinerary? Stop trolling me babe. Were done.

    Perhaps they should pick up the quran and hadiths and get a real education on islam. I know I did, and it makes for scary reading, though confusing as the twisted, sick, hate-filled verses are.
