Anti-American Protests Over Film Expand to Nearly 20 Countries

The violently anti-American rallies that have roiled the Islamic world over a video denigrating the Prophet Muhammad expanded on Friday to nearly 20 countries, with demonstrators storming the American Embassy in Tunisia in a deadly clash and protesters in Sudan’s capital broadening the targets to include Germany and Britain.

The broadening of the protests reflected what appeared to be a catharsis of rage at the Western powers and was unabated despite calls for restraint from world leaders including the new Islamist president of Egypt, where the demonstrations first erupted four days ago on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

In Washington, the Pentagon announced that it was dispatching 50 Marines to Sana, Yemen, to secure the American diplomatic compound, which was partly defiled by enraged protesters on Thursday. At a bazaar about 30 miles east of Jalalabad, Afghanistan, protesters burned an effigy of President Obama.

The breaching of the American Embassy in Tunis, the birthplace of the Arab Spring revolutions, was at least the fourth time that an American diplomatic facility in the Middle East had been violated since the protests began. The Tunisian police said at least three protesters were killed and 28 people were wounded.

"over the video"

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth - this strategy is straight out of the Commie playbook.

It’s a feint, for sure. Reports are coming about various US agencies “Green-lighting” the release of this video.

Obama has given a signal to America’s enemies, and we are about to see how a Communist thug takes over an entire country. Count on it.

The film DOES NOT CAUSE murderous hate in the wicked ignorant Muslims - IT REVEALS IT.

Islamonazis don’t need a reason to seethe and fume. They just need a convenient excuse to make it look legitimate.

I am getting concerned about traveling to Turkey next week. At least, the PM there has denounced the violence. Can’t cancel the trip, as my daughter is having a baby any day now. At least, they are in Istanbul, which has a diverse culture.

Karl Deninger has what may be the answer...

Want To Know Why The Muzzies Are Sacking Embassies? By Karl Deninger
http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=211509

It’s pretty simple, really.

There is a long history in Presidential elections, and the Muslims are not stupid — The American people typically will not change a President during a significant armed conflict or other time of material international disruption.

Think about it.

And then consider this — Obama is as about as friendly to radical Muslims as a US President could ever be without inviting them to the White House for his daily security briefings and giving them the keys to our arms depots.

So we have escalation now, with the intent of drawing in the United States and driving outrage here at home.

If that is achieved, the bet is, the American people will not “take a risk” with Romney.

I’m willing to bet the Muslims are scared to death that Romney’s first act will likely be to pull a Reagan as he is rumored to have done with Iran when he won election, telling the Iranians that if the hostages were still being held when his hand went on the Bible they were going to find out about the truth of that 72 virgins in paradise schtick roughly 15 minutes later.

We must do everything we can to make sure that no body in our population every says anything disrespectful about Islam ever again. If they do, we’ll just see more of this.
