CNN German embassy in Sudan

 

This is crazy stuff, protest by all means, but such violence? I believe the original storming of the Benghazi Embassy had nothing to do with the film and was an orchestrated attack on the USA to coincide with 9/11 however the current violence is just an excuse to attack American interests. Interesting that it all takes place after Friday prays although I've heard reports of some Imans trying to hose down the hotheads.

 

Ya gotta love it when these violent primitives reinforce and perpetuate the negative stereotypes surrounding Muslims and Islam. For what it's worth, they might as well stand around and slap themselves in the face...

 

American deep fried Junk food - Lebanese can well do without.

Sorry Talon you got it all wrong, they are just embracing the democratic process. Embracing, strangling, beating abusing raping but mostly just embracing the democratic process.

 

IMO.. al Qaeda was out for blood .. but the film made it worse on the Arab street.

 

Slapping a superpower is more satisfying.


....

 

Come on Marlowe, you can do better than that. At least call it Zionist chicken or something.

The stupid thing is it was probably some poor hard working Lebanese businessman's franchise where he worked hard to provide for his family, employed locals and served tasty Halal chicken.
One man was killed by local police

 

I think your right but do you really think this stupid film justifies the reaction especially when 90% of these people probably didn't even see the trailors on youtube. Besides its not a rational or justified reaction there are plenty of anti christian/Hindu/Buddhist/Jewish films but no one else reacts this way. The Govts of these countries should have protected the embassies. I'm seeing film of violent protest outside the US embassy in Egypt happening right now. Signs calling for the release of Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman
9/11 planner. This isn't just about a film anymore this is blind hate.

 

And they're burning pics of the pope, g-d knows what hes got to do with it

 

The KFC franchise is probably owned by a Lebanese person..

God knows this is stupid.

 

not any more, its now a smoking mess. Some poor families dreams up in smoke.

 

There's far more anti-Muslim stuff flying around on these pages, right here (for years), than there is in any movie. Same with other computer forums.

 

Yep but they're not about to set their own computers alight now are they?

 

Well, that and you can make cartoons and films against us without worrying about us killing you.

 

They probably saw the John Goodman comedy sketch of "KFC Loves the Gays" and thought it was homosexual chicken.

 

I guess the Lebanese folks who are now out of work can do well without there jobs, too, Herr Food Nazi...

 

There's nothing worse than gay infidel chicken...

 

This was dubbed in Arabic and placed on YouTube.. Promoted by a guy named Steve Klein.

Its very vulgar and insulting..

So there's a bomb threat in Austin and 6 embassies have seen riots.

 

Yep... Did you know there's a bomb threat at the University in Austin?

 

Guess KFC's goose was cooked.

 

Yeah, burning down a chicken shack will show 'em!!

"This situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part..."

 

Weirdest title I've ever read. Do Muslims think the pope holds KFC shares?

 

Must be his funny kafir hat...
