This anti muhammad film that's causing the trouble

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I have seen the pathetic film. The fact that it has caused death is just plain crazy. But it proves the human race is totally insane. One has to be mad to exist in it.

Or one has to be overly interested in religion.

You'd have thought that following Salman Rushdie and the Danish cartoons ( which resulted in a number of journalists who worked at the newspaper which published them being killed ), that we in the West would have taken note that insulting the prophet Mohammed is just plain asking for trouble, like going up to a bullock in a field and punching it on the nose, for no good reason other than to provoke a reaction.

Well, guess what, we've got a reaction - qu'elle surprise. What's more, we don't seem to be learning from the 'error' of our ways.

You can say that the reaction is disproprtionate if you like, but the point is, that to a Muslim, it ISN'T. And until people get savvy to this, then they're just as much a problem, as an agent provocateur, to us as those they seek to provoke.

'Let sleeping dogs lie' was never a better epithet.

I think you mean "Peace for our time"................still 3rd time lucky.

So how far do you want us to bend over backwards to ensure we don't offend these primitive savages, till we collapse and smash our skulls?
One more heartening thing to come out of this barbarity has been the expression of regret and sympathy to the Americans from many Libyan Muslims. Sadly, I fear they'll soon be snuffed out by the dark forces of Islamic extremism.

Your right they are primitive savages. We also have some of these idiots in the UK with the same mindset. Luckily for us their ideas of protesting is still in the minority, so we wont get hundreds of thousands of people trying to burn flags and burn down buildings in this country. However the more I learn about this religion, the more I distrust it.

But, are we in the West savages too but with better weaponry ? When the US simply eradicates people in far away lands with bombs dropped by drones without trial because it is suspected they have anti US views ?

Muslims believe passionately in their religion but think back over the years and Christians would stand up for their religion too and gladly die for their beliefs. We have just become less vocal and less extreme compared to Muslims.

All the time families are wiped out by unseen bombs from the sky and the West's definitions of the rights to free speech overlap with the sensitivities of other religions, we are building a stockpile of hatred which will lead to worse atrocities on both sides. I can honestly see no end to this unless there are huge fundamental changes on both sides and frankly, that is not going to happen.

At least one good thing has come out of it. Romney made a claim that Obama apologized to Islamists on behalf of America. This ill judged comment has now been disproved, Obama never said anything of the sort, and Romney has been left looking a bit of a twat with some saying he has done a lot of damage to his Presidential chances. The Republicans are just not used to a President who can read and think critically compared with the last one who was only able to look at the pictures!

Watching the repatriation in America very moving.

Today has been insane in the middle east, i just dont get it i really dnt its a f***ing film ffs made by some wanker, no more.

I hope the creator gets strung up

i gather the violence has been widely condemed in the muslim world, not least because they can see that its orchestrated by groups they'd rather not have claiming to speak for them. one commentor i read more or less said its time Muslims grew up a bit and stop being so sensitive, that its a mark of advancement in society to take on board criticism and tackle it intellectually not with petty violence.

i understand that he's also broken an etiquette that you do not speak against the command-in-chief when being attacked - leave any critisim until later - and the republican press have slated Romney for this. interesting little insight to the US psyche.

Is it possible that the video could have been made and posted online by the very people who are up in arms about it? If they had pre-planned an attack on the US Embassy for the annaversry of 9/11, the video could have been made as to give them a 'motive'?

Interesting point that seems to have a decent amount of support.

Why? I have not seen it, and do not agree with it. But defend his right to say what he likes. What about The Life of Brian? Should we kick-off over that?

As according to most experts in the field this was made by someone that must have known religion inside out as this video was created no more than to offend.

Life of Brian was a comedy that was to do no more than make people laugh
