At around 6 a.m. on September 11th, well before any protests were launched, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued the following statement, now disavowed by the State Department:
“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”
They sent out supporting tweets at 5:53 and 6:10 a.m. stating, “Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy,” and “US Embassy condemns religious incitement.”

There were protests going on in Cairo on Sept 11th, CNN interviewed and had video of it. The protests were over The Blind Sheikh. There are signs, flags and banners to prove there was an organized protest for the release of the Blind Sheikh. CNN decided not to give us that proof and video but our Canadian neighbor gave it to us:

What happened in Libya had nothing to do with the video-NOTHING.
OUR GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA CAUSED MOST ALL OF THIS BY RUNNING WITH A KNOWN LIE. Embassies of ours and others were attacked, people hurt and killed, tons of property damage, shame brought to us— all over a stupid dam* lie.
