So, this whole terrible ordeal with our American consulate in Libya and the other attacks on our embassies and outposts in a rising number of Middle East locations was because of a You Tube video that “insults” the murderous, megalomaniac, pedophile Mohammad by telling some truth about him? And, the attacks just happened to occur on the 11th anniversary of 9-11? Really? The very cheesy video was supposedly made last year and has apparently been out for months now (although we cannot be certain, because no one has heard of it before now), but all of a sudden it’s “the...

KABUL (Reuters) - Protesters enraged by a film mocking the Prophet Mohammad battled with police in several Asian cities on Monday and vented their fury against the United States, blaming it for what they see as an attack on the Muslim religion. Police fired in the air to break up a crowd marching on the U.S. consulate in the Pakistani city of Karachi while in Afghanistan and Indonesia people burnt U.S. flags and chanted "Death to America". Indonesian police fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse hundreds of demonstrators who massed outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, capital of...

Whenever he travels abroad, Pope Benedict delivers speeches that journalists scan for their relevance to the situation in the country he’s visiting. This aspect has been especially important here in Lebanon, a multi-faith country that suffered through a 15-year civil war (1975-90) fought along sectarian lines and watches nervously as Syria’s bloody civil war unfolds along sectarian lines only 50 km (30 miles) from Beirut. The majority of our stories have focused on his calls for an end to violence in Syria and efforts to promote peace and religious co-existence in the region. Another aspect is the enthusiastic welcome Christians...

Here's one of several statements Hillary Clinton made regarding the recent murder of four Americans. "To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and to provoke rage."

Congressman Keith Ellison warns Netanyahu to not insert himself in American elections

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A Channel 2 Action News investigation found that the State Department is sending millions of dollars to save mosques overseas. This investment has received criticism as the United States makes an effort to slash nearly $4 trillion in government spending.Plenty of outrage following the announcement made Thursday afternoon by a government commission that suggested huge cuts to the budget, including eliminating the interest education for home mortgage. This juxtaposed with the United States investing millions to refurbish mosques as a good-will effort in Muslim countries has upset many taxpayer groups.

Bill Maher made a comedy/documentary called "Religulous" that's most famous for mercilessly mocking Christianity. But what people forget is that the last twenty-minutes or so of the film make a damning case against Islam. Bill Maher made a film that mocked Islam. Oh, yes, he did. Bill Maher also contributed $1 million to a pro-Obama super PAC. And I'm sure that upon being reminded of this, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will tremble with self-righteous indignation and demand Maher take his money back. After all, if movies create the terrorists who in turn create the terrorism, what about Bill Maher?...

(CNSNews.com) – At an event officials say was planned before the attacks in Libya that killed four Americans on Sept. 11, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Libyan Ambassador to the U.S., Ali Aujali, celebrated the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the State Department on Thursday. The Eid ul-Fitr reception was held almost a month after the official end of the month on Aug. 19, delayed, officials say, because of Clinton’s travel schedule. “The date [of the reception] was set purely because of scheduling considerations, especially given lengthy travel abroad recently,” a State Department spokesman...

If there’s one consistent element in the media’s coverage of the Mohammed riots, it’s that Muslims are sensitive darlings who get very upset when religion is offended. All they really want is for everyone to respect religion… their religion. >>>Some 1,000 demonstrators marched from Tripoli’s Al-Mansouri Mosque to nearby Nour Square following Friday prayers, shouting slogans against the U.S. and Pope Benedict XVI, who began a three-day visit to Lebanon. They tore down posters and banners welcoming the pope that had been put in place by Saad Hariri’s Future Movement. The demonstrators ignored warning shots fired by police, and tried...

Analysis: Film at heart of Libya attack may be fake By JPOST.COM STAFF 09/13/2012 03:57 Offensive references to Islam sloppily inserted in post-production; film's cast and crew say original plot unrelated to religion. Details casting doubt on the authenticity of the controversial film Innocence of Muslims, which sparked protests in Cairo and spurred the Libya attack that killed US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, mounted on Wednesday. A series of facts brought to light by online media such as Gawker, Buzzfeed and blogs on CNN, The Atlantic, and The Christian Science Monitor paint the picture of a possible hoax. In the film's...

Israel media - Channel 2 - just reported that the US-commanded Multi-National Force Observors headquarters in the Sinai is under assault. Salafists laid seige to the building this afternoon and some 50 armed men stormed it. There is fighting going on in the building and there are dead inside. The MFO is the force that was established under the Israel-Egypt peace treaty. It is charged with guaranteeing the demilitarization of the Sinai. The MFO has two bases. I believe that the one under attack is in northern Sinai, built on an old Israeli Air Force base. The MFO has come...

Geneva, Switzerland - Minority religious communities in Pakistan are living in “fear and terror” of Islamic fundamentalists amid abductions and forced conversions that the government is helpless to stop, the World Council of Churches (WCC) said on Wednesday. A statement from the WCC’s ruling Central Committee declared that Pakistan’s small Hindu and Christian communities were increasingly subject to “persecution and discrimination”, with mounting Islamisation of a formerly more secular nation. “Today a significant number of young women of religious minorities ... face violence, including sexual assault, rape, threats and persecution,” said the WCC - an influential global organisation of all Christian faiths...

I did receive an email back from Facebook, after making my report regarding a “Credible Threat of Violence”.  According to Facebook, although this group does clearly call for the death of people – people like me for example, it oddly does not violate Facebook’s policies in any way.  Sometimes it just sucks being a white guy.

I listened with interest yesterday as representatives of several leading Muslim advocacy organizations here in the United States issued statements in which they condemned the murder of our U.S. diplomats in Libya. “We are outraged and shocked by the killings,” said Nihad Awad, National Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. His outrage and shock was echoed by representatives of the Islamic Circle of North America, Muslim American Society-Public Affairs and Civic Engagement, the Council of Muslim Organizations of the Greater Washington, D.C. Area, Libyan Emergency Task Force and Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center. Well, I’m grateful that these Muslim organizations...
