US braces for more violence from anti-Muslim film

The Obama administration was caught by surprise by the ferocity of the Sept. 11 attack against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the ambassador and three other Americans. Now it is bracing for another potential eruption of violent demonstrations in parts of the Muslim world after Friday's weekly prayers — traditionally a time of protest in the Middle East and North Africa...

"The United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video," [Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton] said before a meeting with the foreign minister of Morocco at the State Department. "We absolutely reject its content and message." ...

"I want people around the world to hear me," [President Barack Obama] said. "To all those who would do us harm: No act of terror will go unpunished. I will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America." ...

Day of Rage

FYI

Evan Kohlmann ‏@IntelTweet

Messages have been posted on top-tier jihadi web forums declaring that Friday will be a “day of rage” against America in the Muslim world.

Are they still trying to spin this that it was the film’s fault? They had at a minimum a 48 hour notice something was up and did nothing!

They are absolutely on-track for their real agenda. Unlike our side, they stay focused on the important things, no matter what, to achieve their real goals. In this case, they know that if they keep blaming the use of FREE SPEECH in and "abusive and hateful manner", for long enough and for enough acts of violence, they will be on the way to stifling FREE SPEECH. They have no real problem with what they have wrought and I would posit that they consider the violence a plus because it allows them to stay on track with destroying our FREEDOMs.

If she wasn't behind the film, she wouldn't have had any reason to make that statement. There is no reason to go there. There is no reason to deny any connection when the meme from the first that it was made by an independant film maker. Hill slipped up big time on this.

It's like if you tell somebody "Don't think about pink elephants".....well guess what they're going to be thinking about?

Carefully crafted phrasing, the attack wasn't a surprise, only the ferocity.

I reject everything to do with the muzzys and their practices. There has been some miscommunication regarding this. Am I to believe Hillary is supporting the video and denouncing Islam? I’m supporting the person or persons who made it, not what it depicts

Can't be too careful here ~ trust me, there's no BS in that movie ~ all of it is readily backed up from contemporary Islamic sources.

The movie proves why Moslems don't want people to see Mohammad depicted in his own words ~ he's pretty crude.
