Ditto and shame on him especially since it had nothing to do with the movie and more to do with a coordinated 9-11 event with the movie a throwaway to their sheepies.

A society that can be this easily inflamed by words or pictures of their "prophet", or "desecration of their holy book", or a movie is easily manipulated.

Terrorists, like the ones who are perpetrating these latest events should be hunted down and killed. Those who harbor them should be similarly dispatched. Governments who support them in any way should be destroyed. It might be time to drastically rearrange portions of the middle east in a way that is more advantageous to the west.

Historically, the US has not been shy about restricting state religions. Note the following exerpt:

Shinto Directive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

After the Second World War during the Occupation of Japan by the United States Military it was generally understood by allied students of Japanese culture and religion that Shinto in the form it took leading up to and during the war was social propaganda and was being used as a tool of ultra-nationalism and a disguise for militarism. Thus, it was US policy regarding post-surrender Japan to abolish State Shinto (Kokka Shinto). The directive, SCAPIN 448, was drafted by the US Military’s expert on Japanese culture and religion, Lieut. William K. Bunce, U.S.N.R.[1] and was issued on December 15, 1945 with the full title of “ABOLITION OF GOVERNMENTAL SPONSORSHIP, SUPPORT, PERPETUATION, CONTROL AND DISSEMINATION OF STATE SHINTO (KOKKA SHINTO, JINJA SHINTO)”

The directive was based in part on the United States Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of religion. According to the directive, State Shinto was to be stripped of public support and of its “ultra-nationalistic and militaristic” trappings. The remnants were to be permitted to exist as part of sectarian Shinto, an unprivileged equal among other faiths, supported only by voluntary offerings.

No public funds could be used to support Shinto shrines or priests. The Emperor could no longer report on public matters to his ancestors in official visits to the shrines. But he and other officials could worship as private individuals. Shinto doctrine would be deleted from text books. “Militaristic and ultranationalistic ideology” could not be promoted or encouraged in connection with Shinto or any other creed. These doctrines were specifically banned: that the Emperor is superior to other rulers because he descends from the sun; that the Japanese people are superior to other peoples, or the Japanese islands superior to other lands, because Amaterasu so willed.

Thus, the directive was more than formal separation of Church and State. It was an attempt by U.S. officials to draw the line between genuine religious doctrine and harmful social propaganda. [2]

This is the MOST distressing part - that a man of this age, with this position, with years of experience, with inside intelligence information - would fall for such a STUPID ruse.....Does he have a calendar - does he KNOW what 9/11 MEANS????

Just imagine if we could turn back time to 9/11/01 and ask Americans if the events of 9/11/12 took place would you think it was because of a two-bit video on YouTube or the anniversary of 9/11/01?????
