WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is sharpening her criticism of an anti-Islam video that provoked protests in the Arab world.
Clinton says the film is "disgusting and reprehensible." She calls it a cynical attempt to offend people for their religious beliefs.

Egypt, Libya and Yemen cannot even pretend to have a free press.
The Egyptian President, who was quick to tell us that WE needed to do something about some nut making a glorified home movie about Muhammad quite infamously cracked down on any semblance of independent media in Egypt.
There is a reason why this obscure movie became MUCH MORE FAMOUS in the Middle East than it would have otherwise EVER have been in America (where we at least value good production professionalism) - and that is because the governments in Egypt, Libya and Yemen WANTED it to be famous.
They acted as the publicity agents for this obscure home movie - then tell US that we have to do something about it.
How about if WE tell THEM to shut the hell up about what some obscure nutbag does in America?
They incite a riot on 9-11 using this obscure home movie as the flimsiest of pretexts - and our media plays along either blithely unaware of or entirely uninterested in the fact that nobody in the Middle East (or anywhere else for that matter) would have ever heard of the ‘film’ if not for the publicity given to it via full and direct approval of the governments of Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
The rumors are everywhere that this movie was made by supporters of Muslim terrorism to whip up the masses. Who in their right mind would produce this poorly made crap?
Perhaps we should burn down British embassies and half of Hollywood for the “Life of Brian”?
Hillary has always been a Muslim lover, but I’m beginning to wonder if Hillary, like Obama, is not actually a Muslim. She clearly enjoyed kissing Suha Arafat after she finished cursing the Jews.
Here’s a question for the Muslim experts. If a woman marries a Muslim, she automatically becomes a Muslim, and is not permitted to leave. Since hillary is married, in practice, to Huma Abedin, and (who knows) may even have covertly formalized the wedding in some state like Massachusetts, doesn’t that make Hillary a Muslim?

I call hillary a disgusting whore for satan.
LLS
Doesn’t matter if it was made under false pretenses or not. That is completely beside the point.
The reason there were riots in Egypt, Libya and Yemen is because the powers that be in those places WANTED there to be riots against America on 9-11. They control the press there.
It was they who made an obscure video famous - to serve their own purposes. It doesn’t really matter if the video itself is ‘legitimate’ or not - what matters is that they made it famous because they wanted riots.
If not for their desire to make this weird low quality video famous - and the resulting riots they wanted - nobody would have ever heard of it.
yep... I have seen equally offensive anti religious things on South Park, as well.
strangely enough, it didn’t incite me to riot.
The movie is being used as a scapegoat by the Obama Regime to deflect focus on our failed Middle East policy.
The movie is being used by Islamic extremists to give justification for a strategy aimed at pushing the United States out of the Middle East. Once that happens, Israel will be vulnerable as well as Saudi Arabia.
Did this administration have no trouble whatsoever going after Cathoics and their doctrine and enforcing it? Do Obama or Clinton EVER issue a statement about the persecution of Christians by Muslims (which are occurring frequently in ME countries)?
Both Obama and Clinton have acted on behalf of Muslims time and again. A lot of good it's done them (sarcasm).
Sorry, mispelled Catholics.
These 12th century barbarians should be bombarded with mockery until they fall panting in the street.
The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s “Awards in the Visual Arts” competition,[1] which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Hillary is starting to look a lot like Helen Thomas?
This fits with Madame Clinton’s admission yesterday that she hasn’t a clue about this.
What is really disgusting is that marines charged with protecting the Egyptian embassy were not allowed to have ammunition to defend personnel. It’s so comforting to know that this pos, poseur president does not believe in saving American lives. No wonder he is doing everything he can to stop the military from voting.
Wouldn’t it be likely that fundamentalist Muslims find government support for legalized gay marriage and the killing of popular Islamic radical leaders and their family members by rockets fired from American drones more upsetting than a movie?
