September 21 Pakistan Diplomat to U.S.: "Lay Off Our Prophet"

Pamela Falk. Pakistan Ambassador to the United Nations Abdullah Hussain Haroon tells CBS News' Pamela Falk that if the U.S. wants to stop the attacks against American embassies, to "lay off our prophet, just lay off our prophet [Mohammed]. Is that asking too much?"

On a deadly day of violent protests in Pakistan, when thousands rampaged in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar, burned American flags. and condemned the anti-Muslim film, Pakistani U.N. Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon told CBS News' Pamela Falk that if the U.S. wants to stop the attacks against American embassies, "just lay off our Prophet, just lay off our Prophet. Is that too much to ask?"

Friday was declared an official holiday, a "Day of Love for the Prophet" and although officials urged non-violence in protests, some analysts in Pakistan and around the world, criticized the government for a day of killing and mob action that may have been, by design or by accident, seen as government support for the anger.

In one of the largest protests of those that have taken place recently around the world, at least 19 people died and dozens of business were torched, particularly Western restaurants and businesses.

In an attempt to prevent cellphone-detonated bombs, the government of Pakistan -- the nation with one of the largest Muslim populations in the world -- blocked cellphone service in over a dozen cities, a act that has widespread effect in a nation with 120 million cellphone subscribers over anti-Muslim film

Despite tear gas and live ammunition fired by Pakistani police to quell the violence, and TV ads purchased by the U.S. Embassy in an attempt to distance the U.S. government from the film, anger was in the streets throughout Pakistan.

why do we bother to have embassies in these stone age countries ?

So we'll have a reliable address to send the bribe money, to keep them bought off.

Honor Killings, where parents kill their daughters for adopting “western values” is justifiable homicide under Sharia Law. As residents of the US, these barbarians are using the US constitution to perpetrate their beliefs on all of west. Just ask the European countries. Western values are being mocked and we appear to take it on the chin. These bastards are aided and abetted by American politicians and interests groups.

Attention Muslims.

Come to Christ, Jesus loves you!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not parish but have eternal life.”

I know that this is, so, impolite but could Pakistan please run ads in the U. S. apologizing for shielding Bin Laden, oh, and for allowing Daniel Pearl's decapitation, filmed and run over and over on TV?

That, and can "we the people" tell Hillary to get her ugly, apologizing and lying mug the hell off TV?

Don’t see where in the Bible it states there is a higher standard for prophets than for patriarchs or kings.

Both David and Solomon are traditionally counted as being authors of significant parts of the Bible.

My point is that Mohammed’s polygamy was traditional to the middle east, particularly for kings, which he was. It was not at the time considered a moral failing.

Why not just blow their cities off the map?
