Tripoli, Libya – Dozens of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have burned American flags and chanted “Death to America,” protesting an American film that mocks the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

The protest Wednesday in Gaza City was sponsored by supporters of the Popular Resistance Committees, a militant group aligned with the ruling Hamas movement.
Some protesters carried swords, axes and black flags. They also used knives to cut posters of Morris Sadek, the Egyptian-born Christian who has promoted the film.
They chanted, “Shame on everyone who insults the prophet.”
Hamas, the larger militant group that governs Gaza, also condemned the film.
Its religious affairs minister, Ismail Radwan, called it an “insult to the millions of Muslims all over the world.”
You know, I’m not sure if making such a film is the smartest idea, however I can certainly sympathize with the filmaker, people are totally fed up with these islamists for making our planet a far more dangerous place than it ever was.
If they expressed their rage toward the filmmaker, I might understand. But the rage at the United States government together with the violence and the attacks that are happening around the world just broadcasts what these people really are. Subhuman savages, just looking for an excuse to commit murder, destruction, and mayhem, all designed to dominate the world through terror. There is no political or diplomatic answer to this. Just השכם והרגו. The best radical islamist is a dead one. Will Obama and his co-conspirators recognize this? Or will they continue to shove money at them, provide them with military assistance, and “humanitarian aid”?
Well said, rebeli, well said.
I’ve just attempted to view the 12 minute excerpt of the film available on the internet. I say ‘attempted’ not because it failed to play, but because I couldn’t bear to watch/listen to more than one or two minutes. Those first few minutes of the film are crass, vile, disgusting and borderline-pornographic. They have no educational value to adults, and absolutely are inappropriate for children. I’m agitated and maybe slightly traumatized by the experience. While I don’t think I have a tevih to mahn the producers in besdin, I certainly am carrying one angry hakpada and taromet against them for putting out such a film in reshut harabbim with a claim that it was kosher/positive. It is evil and sick.
I hope this warning will protect you all from falling in the trap I just did.
For those of you falling prey to the excuses put out for the violence, they have just announced that these attacks have been pre-coordinated, were sophisticated and pre-planned, and were not a grassroots outrage over videos . It was as ‘spontaneous’ as the Temple Mount Riots, which were planned well in advance, though the media portrayed it as a backlash to Ariel Sharon’s touring the Temple Mount.
That being said, the Arabs continually vilify us with stories about blood in matzah and ritual murder in movies. These are shown across the Arab world; they portray Jewish doctors as inventing AIDS and giving cancer to Arabs over and over again in movies and books.So when it comes to outrageous movies, they take the cake. So all this righteous indignation is lost on me.
All that aside, did you see the photo of that poor Ambassador being dragged, half-naked, through the streets? Are you really excusing these people? Please do not defend these horrendous murders, because that is exactly what you are doing, and that is more despicable than anything.
