Every time the Muslims react this way, they just help the islamophobes make their case. Absolutely disgusting reaction from the muslims. No respect for freedom of speech or freedom of expression at all.

yea, it woulda been so much better to just let Ghaddafi kill thousands of his own people, most of whom just wanted democracy, and weren't islamic militants.

Supporting democracy doesn't mean you support everything that those groups believe. This is a Muslim problem all across the arab world, not just about the arab spring. Remebber the koran burning? remember the muhammed cartoons? This has nothing to do with the Libyan revolution or the arab spring. This is about Muslims everywhere thinking that violence is an appropriate response to free speech and free art.

And what about Rebel atrocities, what about the 300 bodies found in the mass grave by Sirte, what about all the black migrants in Libya shot or arrested for being "mercenaries" with no proof. Plus there's the fact the Rebels were completely fragmented, we had no idea about the nature of the opposition and since Gaddafi's death Libya has been in chaos with competing militias roaming around refusing to give up their weapons

Plus everyone talked about the threat if Gaddafi bombing Benghazi, well what the hell did NATO do to Sirte?

That Muslims seem to think that some idiot making a film in his basement, or drawing a cartoon is more offensive to God than MURDERING people. That's what i'm saying, and that's a huge problem.

This isn't just a few nut jobs, these are crowds of thousands of people all around the muslim world. So no one can use the excuse "well it's not all muslims, it's just a tiny minority" those crowds were not just a few Muslim nut jobs, they were huge masses of Muslims. And this isn't an isolated incident, it happens over and over and over again whenever they get "offended".

It's insanity and it's a very serious problem within the Muslim culture.

If everytime the Christians in the US and western Europe rose up and behaved like this any time something offensive about Christians was said, can you imagine it? i can't, because it's so ridiculous.

Why is it only Muslims that react this way? It must be something cultural, and it's not okay.

It doesn't matter if its 1 muslim or 1,000 muslims you can't just blame the whole entire religion. I literally know like 50 muslims who are ashamed by the actions of the extremist. My sep father is muslim he works as a journalist for the bbc so I don't really think he is against freedom of speech :idc:.

MTVN, I commend you on this thread. People need to realize, less than 5% of muslim, are belligerent, and would act violently, because they feel offended, or disrespected. Most will be offended, but shrug it off. The people that caused, know that there are that small percentage which will use it as an excuse to excercise their belligerent ways.

Why would you provoke these people at a time of unrest like right now? You putting innocent bystandards, in danger.
Its not about freedom of sppeech! I think you should always think of the impact, on others, not just you.
Anyone that does these kind of provocation, know exactly the impact, and are probably relishing in the chaos. Not outraged by the innocents, who got killed.

5% out of millions is A LOT of people though.

it is absolutely about freedom of speech. You don't have the right or the excuse to kill someone just because they say something offensive! No one should have to be afraid of being killed just for their speech or their ideas.

You should judge people based on what they DO, not what they say or think.

Speech and thought should never be illegal, no matter how offensive. and it's NEVER justified to take VIOLENT actions based on being offended.

Libyans in Benghazi took to the streets today to make it clear they do not condone the attack by militants on the U.S. consulate that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Their signs were full of apology and support: ”Benghazi is against terrorism”; “Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans”; and ”No No No to Al Qaeda.”

Mohammed Magarief, Libya’s interim leader, said that the National Congress and the transitional government “condemn the criminal aggression,” and will make sure justice is served.

I have watched the flim on YouTube and I do agree that it is offensive to Muslims. It does insult the Prophet Muhammad (PBOH) with remarks against the Islamic tradition. But the way the Middle East and North Africa is unacceptable too. If you are offended you should write to the producer/government in asking for the video to be banned. Or held PEACEFUL protest. Violence and damage to buildings is wrong.

I watched this film on You Tube and agree it was totally offensive to Muslims in fact the film was basically a piece of blatant anti Muslim propaganda. It set out to discredit the prophet Mohammed by depicting him as a murdering , womanising , thieving bandit. It suggests the followers of Islam have the right to rape pillage and murder anyone who does not believe in what they believe. It states their beliefs are the only true beliefs and they are empowered to convert or kill ALL non believers.

This is pretty inciteful to all Muslims but to react the way we have seen by killing these Embassy workers almost reinforces the message in the film. Thankfully only a minority of extremists think violence is the answer, the majority of the worlds 1.3 Billion Muslims live in peace and happily coexist with people of all faiths.

most libyans can't even read or write in their own language, but we are expected to believe that they can write such perfect english? give me a break. Obviously someone from the government handed out signs to those people as a media stunt trying to appease Americans.

get real. The Illiteracy rate in the muslim world is through the roof. Most muslim adults in the arab world have the educational level of an American 8 year old. The reason they use flags and effigies to burn is not because they appreciate symbolism, it's because most of them don't have enuf education to actually create signs and banners. They can't even write their own language. They are illiterate and uneducated.

We are dealing with people who literally have the education of 8 y/o's, but we keep being told that we should talk to them? that we should try to solve our differences? how do you solve major world issues when your dealing with adults with the intelligence of 8 year olds?

Oh dear, how ignorant can you be, Libya has one of the best literacy rates in the Arab world at 97.7%, they have a free education system even up to University level (unlike most Western countries) and it is compulsory for everyone to do at least 9 years of school
