Deadly protests turn on American fast-food chains in Middle East as KFC is ransacked in Lebanon
Daily Mail ^ | Sep 14 2012 | Matt Blake

The unrest over an amateur anti-Islam film made in America spread to Lebanon today as an angry mob set fire to a Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Hardee's...

The KFC was set alight after the mob - many wearing face masks- ransacked the interior.

The American embassy in Tunisa is also under attack with protesters setting fire to trees inside the compound.

It adds to unrest in Sudan where an angry mob attacked the British and German embassies, Bangladesh where tens of thousands have taken to the streets, and India - where there are widespread protests in Muslim Kashmir.

Sudanese police were reportedly fighting back up to five thousand protesters who had gathered outside the building in the North African country's capital Khartoum. It is unclear how many staff were inside the mission, or whether they are all accounted for.

The same group have already stormed inside and set fire to the German embassy next door, before tearing down its national flag and hoisting the Islamic banner...

Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak appealed for calm on live television, a day after Barack Obama issued a veiled warning to the region's leaders to quell the violence and protect America's embassies.

The Egyptian authorities had erected large concrete blocks to block the route to the embassy and deployed hundreds of police.

'Before the police, we were attacked by Obama,' shouted one demonstrator, blaming U.S. President Barack Obama and the U.S. government for insulting the Prophet.

One banner held aloft by demonstrators read: 'It is the duty of all Muslims and Christians to kill Morris Sadek and Sam Bacile and everyone who participated in the film.'...

Does Obama understand what is happening in that part of the world?

Do Obama and liberals understand that we can’t appease these people? I’m sure liberals are stunned at the anti-American violence. Liberals told us that America was disliked and resented in the world because of Bush. All that would change with Obama.

Obama did his outreach to the Muslim world, and supported Arab spring. Against this backdrop, we see all of this anti-American violence. We’ve even heard some mobs shout death to 0bama. How can this happen when America was supposed to be honored and admired in the age of 0bama???

I thought we were going to be loved by those vermin after Obama got elected in 2008.

Not only does he understand it, he's the one who orchestrated it. This is precisely what he wanted.

more evidence that the “Arab Spring” is aligned with communists/anarchists. In Cairo protestors were wearing Fawkes masks.

No telling what those animals will try to do. They are dangerous. A very dangerous people. Give nukes they'll end the world today. They live to die and the sooner they die and take others the better - that's how they think.

Sooner or later we're going to have to nuke those bastards.

I suggest reading Caliphate by Tom Kratman, at Baen Free Books, to see a possible future scenario.

They’ve been saying for years that we just need to put a McDonald’s/&c. on every corner and they’ll stop being animals.

I submit, Exhibit A.

This stuff happens sometimes in the US. BUT this stuff happens monthyl in these s$%^holes.

I wonder if they tried to rape that big bucket atop the sign?
