The U.S. has increased embassy security worldwide after the assault that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens and three other consular officials, and violent protests at U.S. embassies in Egypt and Yemen.

Protesters have been angered by a film that mocks Islam's Prophet Mohammed. The online film "Innocence of Muslims" has attracted widespread condemnation including remarks from Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy and Pakistan's foreign ministry.

Violent protests erupt at embassies as U.S. seeks killers

The tension has also provoked comment throughout the press in the Arab world. CNN samples some of the commentaries:

Lebanon Daily Star

In an editorial in the online English language version of the Lebanon Daily Star, the paper is critical of the violence but adds "... after a number of similar reactions in recent years to depictions of Prophet Mohammad far less offensive, it should no longer be a surprise.

"More efforts must urgently be made to contain the spread of such hateful media.

"While the violent outbursts were the work of a small group of religious extremists, the authorities in the United States must also bear some responsibility for what happened, and for the ability of the attackers to breach embassy security in both countries...

My response to these “offended” muslims is simple,
Is your prophet a pedophile or not?
Why should I recognize your religious sensitivities
When you don’t accept my right to free speech and
Expression and you kill when are offended?

Hey, 2ndDivisionVet, allow me to make it crystal clear: Any goat-humper who steps on my property and threatens my freedom of speech will leave my property in a body bag. And I’ll kill your 72 virgins as an afterthought.

Best wishes, buddy.

“Did you see the thread where the Muslim Brotherhood DEMANDED that the Pope apologize to them?”

If the Pope needs failed Catholics with swords to fight Satanic goat-humpers, I’ll enlist, as long as the Pope realizes that I’m not pure. I’ve always been curious how I would fare against a Mohammedan with a Saracen blade against my Tai Chi broadsword.

Take care, buddy.
