(Reuters) - Egyptian protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy on Tuesday, tore down the American flag and burned it during a protest over what they said was a film being produced in the United States that insulted Prophet Mohammad.Freedom of speech really has these people stymied, doesn't it? It's as if they really don't understand that in the United States we're free to insult anyone, including their pedophile prophet. Personally, I think that Mohammed was simply a conquerer, a pedophile, and used religion to maintain his position among backwards people.
The problem, as I see it, is that followers of Mohammed are still backwards people. Their religion is a sham and they worship a rock.
Many Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet to be offensive.Not a problem, as I consider the entire faith to be offensive. Their list of human rights violations are legion, they treat women like chattel, and their prophet had sex with children. Go figure that they're a screwed-up religion.
If we had a real President, he would have ordered the Marines at the embassy to shoot anyone who tried to come over the wall, and he would have had carrier jets level the area around the embassy. But, we don't have a real President. Simply a sham-man who bows to foreign leaders. Today of all times would have been the perfect time to level a couple of square miles of downtown Cairo, then ask the leadership there if they're capable of controlling their people.
Any religion that can't take a little critical analysis, or even a bit of ridicule, is no religion worth the time of day, much less actual followers.
ReplyDeleteYep, they should NEVER have been allowed to penetrate US property!!!
ReplyDeleteI always laughed at those old fogeys in church that would recite Revelations; the last book of the Bible......Now I wish I would have been listening more closely.

Don't know where the marines were in the Cairo embassy, but the strike in Benghazi was apparently done with those artillery missiles the Administration refused to worry about when evidence surfaced during that civil War that maybe they had gone over to radicals...
ReplyDeleteIn Cairo, had there been adequate security, they could have held out until an Alpha strike from the Sixth Fleet arrived with enough cluster bombs to clear the area of militants.
The security in Cairo was clearly inadequate, or at least inadequately led.
So the same people who burn an American Flag, who trash Bibles, who call for the death of Americans (rejoicing after 9/11 even) are upset that someone bad mouthed their religious leader?
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else scratching their heads at the obvious double standard?
And to top it off, the media fails to highlight the planned nature of these attacks -- that video has been out for a while.
