I wonder what would happen if people in the west now went out on the streets and protested against these protests, burning down the embassies of these countries.

It would be like a protest paradox. Like a black hole of protests.

[Yoritomo]

A few dozen terrorists fly planes into our buildings, we start 2 wars 1 of which is invading an unrelated arab nation.

Some dumbass makes a video. Violent islamic fundamentalists burn some embassies.

I vote we invade Iran.

Can we burn their flag first?

[Heysoos]

Question about this. Don't most embassies have marines protecting them?

I'd hate to see the backlash if the one of the marines decided to start shooting to protect the people in the embassy.

[Hari Seldon]

Should send these scumbags some youtube links of some hot chick workout videos to distract them since they seem to be new to youtube.

Just watched the whole thing! Where are my gifs at?

Why are the German and UK embassies attacked in Sudan?

I don't think the protests are about the movie anymore (if they ever were). It's about salafists/islamists firing up religious fervor and destabilizing countries.

Muslim GAF would set fire to Evilore's home?

[carfo]

Jesus is fair game but better not insult Mohammad! Seeing as Islam is the biggest religion in the world, more people will be upset about it. I really think Islam is the most violent religion in the world today though, some seem to think that violence fixes everything.

i don't think this film qualifies as a shark, more like a guppy. if i was feeling polite, i'd call this a mass failing of people's critical faculties.

But you get my point?

"if we can't get that american, any american will do"

[DXB-KNIGHT]

It sad that no body protested the killing of children in Syria in front of the Syrian, Russian, Chineese and Iranian embassies in the Muslim World.

[ReBurn]

Can we burn their flag first?

Or get blame space to pee on it?

That's right. I don't even understand why people are still talking about the movie and not the root causes of all of this. The movie is just being used as a vehicle to incite the people.

Afghanistan really isn't an Arab country. Muslim country, yes. Arab country, no. Much like Iran.

Seeing as Islam is the biggest religion in the world, more people will be upset about it.

Christianity is still the biggest religion in the world. Islam is closing in, though.

[Furio53]

This is so ridiculous.

I don't know what else to say. We can't explain our freedom of speech, because they won't understand.

One guy creates a video and now how much damage and death will be the result of it....
Bunch of fucking morons.

Why not, though I think the disciples are much funnier

[Napoleonthechimp]

Pull out the embassy staff from each country and leave the entire region to themselves. If they want to live in their own dark age then let them.

A peaceful protest would have been ok but this shit is completely ridiculous. Way to leave it to a small portion to ruin it for everyone else. It's a shame shit like this happens because people start to believe that what they see is the true religion.

"Islam is a peaceful religion" loses all meaning when all we see is looting, rioting and murder.

Idiocy on both sides. People seem to forget that the US has accounted for thousands and thousands of civilian lives with these wars and the missile strikes in Pakistan. It's oversimplifying to say that this unrest is simply due to a Youtube video.

Certainly, the uneducated and extremist could be swayed by whatever their religious leader tells them (like in the US with our fair amount of whackjob radio hosts) but the violence must stem from something deeper.

These calls for war, and dismissal of entire countries/religions based on the acts of a select few...it's using culture clash as a basis for war. Either you value human life, or you don't. There are no winners here. RIP Chris

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

Just saw the flash on Reuters that a US ambassador in Benghazi is among the dead. This is fucking absolutely insane.

I think something deeper is going on. Have they disclosed who dubbed the movie?

Seriously, I am flabbergasted by this whole event. If I hadn't heard/seen of all the crazy violent shit that happens regularly over there I would be surprised, but it saddens me that this isn't really surprising at all.

They have all this pent up rage and anger that is just waiting to be released for any reason whatsoever. Fuck.

[Enco]

"Islam is a peaceful religion" loses all meaning when all we see is looting, rioting and murder.

Exactly. It's sad because it's not true.

The hate is understandable when people look no further than the idiots who make the most noise. Shame that the idiots who pull shit like this don't understand that. They think they're doing 'what God wants' or what the prophet wants or some stupid crap like that. They're not educated and ruin the image of every single sane Muslim out there.

This whole situation is stupid.

A racist fucking dumbass makes an insulting childish video. He knows idiots are going to fall for the bait and the idiots come out in full force. The idiots then go on to kill people and make everyone else look bad. Idiots all around.

[Salvor.Hardin]

It's ridiculous how alarmist some people are being over these protests. Libya and Tunisia are on the right track, a healthy situation to grow their parliamentary democracies. There will be hiccups to come, especially from the Salafist Islamists that can feel any control they once had quickly fading. These countries have for the most part overwhelmingly rejected fundamental Islamists.

Some bonehead on NPR just called it the greatest film ever made because "art provokes". Yet, he hasn't seen it.

[LegendofJoe]

I'd like to hold a protest against religious indoctrination and burn a bunch of bibles, qurans, and tanakhs in front of some embassies in DC one day. Anyone with me?

[Perspicacity]

That's a reasonable solution, maybe you should go there first.
