...............”About 20 people stood on top of the embassy wall, while about 2,000 protesters gathered outside. The demonstrators were mainly supporters of Islamist groups or “ultras” youths.
Rafik Farouk, 38, an Egyptian Christian, also took part. “I am here because I am Egyptian and reject anything that insults Islam or anything that sparks division in Egypt,” he said.
Washington has a big mission in Egypt, partly because of a huge aid programme that followed Egypt’s signing of a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. The United States gives $1.3 billion to Egypt’s military each year and offers the nation other aid.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland in Washington said the wall was breached and the flag removed.
“We are obviously working with Egyptian security to try to restore order at the embassy and to work with them to try to get the situation under control,” she said.
Following the protest, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said it was committed to giving all embassies the necessary protection.

Then the answer is no. Why am I not surprised?
We have over 10% real unemployment, 16 trillion dollars in debt, 1+ trillion dollar annual deficits, families struggling to put gas in their car to drive to the grocery store to buy food they can't afford and we give these a$$-wipes, enemies of freedom and everything we hold dear, $1.3 billion a year?! Tell me why the federal government should not be considered a domestic enemy.
“We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others,” the U.S. embassy said in its statement.”................”
Whoa Nellie! I hadn’t seen that. Might as well say, “America, as represented by this Administration, wholeheartedly condemns freedom of speech.” Obama and SOS Hillary are taking notes on techniques to stifle dissent from China and Russia.
Absolutely amazing!
He sounds exactly like the Democrat seminar callers who call up talk radio and preface everyting they have to say with "I am a Republican ..." and then proceed to spew liberal talking points memos word-for-word. Maybe they are liberals, they even have drums. Iwonder if they have the standard occupy type puppets too?
Maybe Obama's folks think that rioting around our embassies would make voters think he is a good American president because he catches just as much flak as the previous American presidents did. Obama: "don't change this old horse in mid stream-- see, they don't love me after all!"
