This is a 13 minute trailer of the offending video. It’s probably the worst produced attempt at a movie that I’ve ever seen. It’s so bad it’s funny. Any Muslim that gets upset with this is dumber as dirt.
They are. The vast majority are dirt farmers with minimal education and probably have limited if any reading skills.
Exactly, my take when I saw it,idiotic. Supposedly there is a two minute translation into Arabic which I have not seen.
I will give you an example. In 1980, there was a rumor that circulated in Pakistan that the US had taken over the Kaaba (the black cube)in Mecca. Although totally untrue, this prompted a crowd in Islamabad to burn down our Embassy and other buildings on the compound killing two Americans (including a Marine Security Guard) and two local nationals.
Most of the American staff took refuge in the Communications vault awaiting help from the host government. The rug in the Commo center was literally melting under their feet. The demonstrators, some of them armed, were on the roof firing into air vents. It was only the intense heat from the fire that forced them from the roof or the death toll could have been much higher. It was learned later how well planned this was. The demonstrators had been transported there by bus. They brought along tire jacks to pry the grills from windows to allow them to enter through the basement of the Chancery building. I saw the aftermath firsthand as part of the negoitiations we had with the Pakistani government to pay for the rebuilding of our Embassy, which they eventually did.
The bottomline is that the mob doesn't need any real reason to commit such acts. They can use anything as a pretext to gin up the crowds and tap into their hatred of the US and the West. And their governments condone it because it diverts attention away from their own failures. Rumors, videos, cartoons, etc. that serve as catalysts for these attacks and demonstrations are really symptoms of the hatred and volitility of these societies. It is a tinderbox that needs only a spark to set things alight. It is the reason why democracy will have a very hard time taking root in societies that are riven with tribalism, religious hatred, and poverty. It is why eventually a strong man or despot emerges. It is the only way to restore any kind of civil order to what is chaos.
Radical Islam is at war with the West. Until we identify the enemy, it will be very difficult to defeat.
I guess I have to agree with the Jarret administration that this "movie" was an offensive piece of trash...NOT FOR ITS CONTENT mind you:
I was reading where the man responsible for this "work" was being carted off by the police. He should be put in jail NOT for "hurting the widdle moslems' feelings" but rather because the production of that thing is CRIMINAL!
The "actors" MURDERED their parts, and the background is an obvious cheezy computer generated projection...the voices all have the same big-room echo, regardless of where the actor is speaking.
It was KILLING me just to watch the 13 minutes.
Here's the link again if you think you can stomach it:
Ughhhh...
