As you say the video was hardly inflammatory. I didn’t see it until sometime later but some FReeper who did says it had no more than 100 hits at the time. His handle slips my mind. Did you notice how many hits it had when you watched it?
The most ridiculous thing about it is that there are (and were) literally hundreds, if not thousands, of Youtube videos that are incredibly derogatory about Islam. That fact is what got my attention from the start, and undoubtedly the attention of many others, that the excuse was some extremely smelly BS.
It sits squarely in the realm of insanity to think that video got muslims killing mad and the thousands of worse videos do not.
When I saw the video there were not a lot of hits, I don’t remember the number but it made me go hmmmmmmmm...
There was one video posted to the net around the same time whose release was expected to raise hell, but that one was buried by this video meme “Innocence of Muslims”- the other video was totally different, and it was not brought up again. IIRC, it was mentioned the day of the attacks concerning the Egypt riot before Benghazi.
