USA today

Egyptian demonstrators climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo today
and pulled down the American flag to protest a film they say is insulting to the prophet Mohammad.

 

After the protest, the U.S. Embassy issued this statement on its website:

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. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of other

 

[SNIP] This is how the religion of peace reacts to a FILM.

    Sad and troubling events, especially the death of Christopher Stevens in Libya. I have no confidence in our current government to respond productively.

    “…..The AP says the protesters were largely ultra-conservative Islamists…..”

    Yeaahh, those peace-loving muzzslime bruddahooders would NEVER condone that kind of action. Thanks AP, for pointing that out. oh, and also for the “ultra-conservative” label. I’m hearing code words and dog whistles.

    What will you say when they storm your Benghazi press office?

    Ummmm…isn’t an embassy considered American “soil” in that country?

    Why are we allowing them to scale a wall and desicrate our flag? And then allowing them to put up their own flag?

    Holy crap! All who climbed the wall should have been shot to death. No warning shots. That’s a clear act of war.

    “Oh, but Muddy, they are not soldiers.”

    BULL. They have never worn “uniforms”. They hide behind women and children. They have no honor.

    If you want to scale the wall of a US Embassy, you should expect and deserve to be shot to DEATH…..

    I can’t take this anymore. Can we skip the rest of Sept and Oct and vote now? Can we impeach him now, please?

    Arrrggggg!!!!!!!

    Remember when Reagan sent the F111′s to Libya?
    I think it’s time for another object lesson.

    The U.S. did not apologize.

    Only Obama and the Democrats apologized.

    Time to bolster the Marines at the embassy. Let’s start by sending the entire Marine Second Division along with sufficient Marine air squadrons.
