Errr... This type of attitude is the cause of all these problems.

It's really not. That's a stupid comment.

A violent, fanatic mentality and their disastrous social conditions are the causes of this problem, not a hipster on NPR.

Movie claims that Islam is rooted in violence, Fundy Muslims protest by being violent.

...

I get it, this isn't what most muslims do, but where are the people withing the muslim community openly condemning this behavior? Haven't seen any of that.

[Clay Davis]

I wouldn't be surprised if a group like al qaeda sponsored such a video.

you might be on to something. in an interview with someone who was connected to the movie in its early stage, it is claimed the man behind the movie went to Egypt to raise money.

Something I don’t quite understand is that you said there’s a possibility that some extremists got ahold of the film when he was trying to get financing and dubbed it. Is that hearsay? Is it just a hunch you have? That’s just my, you know, story of, you know, my fiction. I created that. I don’t know anything about that. He didn’t tell me that. He just told me he was in Egypt trying to raise money. So if you’re trying to raise money, you usually show part of the picture and then people say, “Oh yeah, we’ll give you what you want.” So I guess that’s—my guess is, that’s just a guess, that’s all it is.

Most Muslim Scholars on Arabian Media are condemning both the Movie and Violence some even used some of the Prophet sayings to show that killing diplomats is a Sin but most of Muslims don't know these things especially the Arabic Spring Countries.

That's because you haven't been looking for it. There were a large amount of peaceful protests in the wake of the initial attacks, and they've been covered on all the news outlets.

Furthermore, I don't know why Muslims, as part of one of the largest religions in the world, should be expected to apologize everytime a fuckwit uses their religion as a springboard for violence. People are stupid and gullible worldwide, but I don't have time to apologize for my species.

They are being ignored as usual.

Nice gesture . . . But you know there will be people asking "Where are the Muslims who condemn this?!?!"

[michaelius]

why isn't the US military doing anything to protect these embassies? or are they? i have no idea honestly.

Have you thought for a moment what would happen if US troops started killing agressive protesters?

Anyway cases like this or Fitna or dutch caricatures show the real face of Islam.

It seems like we're going to lose an embassy a day if something isn't done. Send in troops and have them evacuate our diplomats in every Middle Eastern country. Stop dicking around.

More like the face of idiots easy to offend and who lives in third world countries of Middle East and North Africa.

I have yet to see any sort of violent protest here on Canada, and there is plenty of muslims living here.

Wait...
THIS is what people are all upset over? (Or at least, is the cover for said unrest.)

HOT Protests with a Religious subtext NOW

[marrec]

Are... What.... I.... No words. These people are completely losing their minds.

Again, these attacks probably aren't connected with any protests despite what officials say. The Sinai has been under almost constant bombardment for months.

[DanteFox]

I don't get it. This is over some jackass who made a bad youtube video. Why are they directing their anger towards folks who have absolutely NOTHING to do with the video? I could understand if they were going after the guy who made it. But they're killing innocent people. They're destroying property of folks who again, had nothing to do with it. *sigh* Two different worlds. I don't understand it at all. And this is coming from someone who was born into islam.

but the guy is a meanie for making the video in the first place! Let's focus our attention on him and not the people murdering innocents and burning schools!

[YoungHav]

[les papillons sexuels]

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.

i actually think burning down their churches in the us would be more effective as a message to them.

Because he wasn't.

[Baraka in the White House]

I acknowledge that the film is trash and serves no other purpose than to cause trouble but got fucking damn talk about overreacting. Someone's gonna have to point out the passage in the Quran that condones raising this kind of hell over being offended.

I don't understand, are you saying we should burn down the mosques as retribution?

[Prost]

So when is someone going to get around to linking the other thousands of anti-Islam and anti-Mohammed videos from Youtube? Let alone the hundreds of thousands of websites and forums. Maybe the Middle East will just implode at that point.

It's selective. The extremists are only offended when they're told to be offended.

[coldvein]

i'm not saying they should, i guess i'm surprised that they haven't.

i mean.. if you're storming embassies and burning shit, killing people, doesn't that equate to an attack on that country?

Very good.

I really don't think this is ALL coming from a youtube video. This has to be some irrational pent up hatred. Otherwise if they explored the rest of the internet, they would be declaring wars.

This might be an over reaction at this point. Increase security and if things don't cool down then go ahead and pull out. Though it might be a great idea to evacuate the diplomats discretely but still keep the embassies "open" so as not to show any sign of giving in to extremist demands.

[saladine1]

This 'film' is full of lies, slander and hate. An obvious attempt and at sowing sedition among people. I am absolutely against this rubbish. It serves no purpose other than trouble. As a Muslim I stand against any offense to The Prophet.

Having said that, killing innocent people half way across the world who had absolutely nothing to do with the film is absolutely atrocious and unacceptable. Setting fire to embassies and establishments is idiotic. Burning flags and effigies is ignorance.

There is a minority of hardcore extremists who keep fucking things up for everyone else. It's up to the leaders to put a stop to these mad men and bring back a sense of rationality to the world..

[les papillons sexuels]

I don't understand, are you saying we should burn down the mosques as retribution?

I'm saying it'd be more effective then their embassies, i would never condone violence. I also think burning down american fast food chains would be more effective then american embassies. Again, i dont condone it, and I think the grease fires would probably be pretty dangerous.

Anyways, I'm starting to think that muslims are the hipsters of the religious world.

They say that no one understands them, calls themselves a religion of peace, then acts violent.

Now hipster, they say no one understands them, claims to be original, then goes out and buys the exact same thing everyone else buys.

And yes I get that there are moderates in the muslim world, but the fundies are the ones who are most vocal, and if the moderates do nothing to exile/dissociate these fundamentalists then they're just as bad. Just like in bullying, if you watch and do nothing you're just as bad as the bully right? It's sad that the muslim world keeps trying to inject their values on the west with notions of sharia law, but why aren't these murders being punished by the religious leaders? Where is the justice of their law system?

Are you trying to be funny?

Non-violent Muslims have done plenty to disassociate themselves. Your point is tired and suggests that you don't pay much attention to the Muslim world outside of when they entire the "US Agenda" (as in, when violence occurs).

And the hipster/muslim connection...smh

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

Speaking as someone who has seen it (and wholeheartedly favors blasphemy in all its forms), I can safely say that this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. We're talking "The Room"-bad.

Obviously doesn't justify violent reactions, but let's be reasonable here.


Edit: But Muhammad is definitely the role of a lifetime for Ashton Kutcher.
