It seems to me that this stupid "little" film has created such a hornets nest and undoing of relations between countries and religion.
The people who came to America who made this film really should be kicked out, no matter of freedom of speech. They are domestic terrorists in my eyes.

Reports have linked people from three major religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity with the film, and members of each say they fear repercussions against their own people and their relationships to other religions groups.
There have been more than a dozen deaths of Americans and Middle Eastern nationals during protests; the most high-profile victim was U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens, though U.S. officials have said the attack on the Benghazi consulate where he and other Americans were killed may have been planned. Protesters in front of Yemen's U.S. Embassy died in clashes with police Thursday, while in Cairo demonstrators jumped over the wall of the U.S. embassy to tear down the American flag. Foxman called the film, which depicts the Islamic prophet Muhammad as a womanizer, a child molester and a gay man, "juvenile, simplistic and ugly," and said its maker "knew it would push buttons, knew there were consequences."

(18,184 posts)but if you look into some of the Old Testament prophets they weren't exactly squeaky clean by modern standards.
But I don't feel the need to make a video about it.

How about the inquisition? and the crusades and the burning at the stake of "witches"?.
Many in religion are not good people.
My own friend was molested by the catholic brothers in the orphanage he was in as a child.
I am sick of hateful acts in the name of religion.
The movie was used to incite violence, knowing that those in other countries are easily excitable and prodded..
I do find the timing of Cheney coming out and saying Obama is not at all the meetings on security just days before all this happened as not really a coincidence.. And the big to do of Obama not meeting up with Netanyaho.
It all seems fishy to me

Coordinated attacks on two embassies on 9/11. This movie is in the mix only to prop up this BS about "they hate us for our freedoms" (again).
