I think so. Monty Python redux, in my opinion. Current admin is showing the emperor has no clothes. | ||

Am I the only one who thinks Sam Bacile is a play on "C'est Imbecile?" | ||

Apparently, there is no sense of humor in the middle east...? | ||

The video did not cause the attacks. | ||

The video was an excuse. | ||

The funny thing is, how may people would have ever even heard of that video if not for them attacking our embassies and killing our people? | ||

It's not funny, but point taken. | ||

A video didn't cause anything, unless there are some serious subliminal messages buried in it. | ||

I shudder to think what might happen if Islam wasn't a religion of peace! | ||

If anyone is attacked it could simply because it was just so bad. The writing, acting, and video quality makes Sharktapus look like The Godfather. I honestly couldn't last more than a couple minutes. It is painfully bad. Can someone sum it up? Seems like the main jist is Muhammed and Islam are terrible and evil, was that basically it? | ||

Ben Afflac plays a cool Jesus. | ||

Here is an idea... how about they put the movie on dvd before youtube removes it and sell it for $9.11 and use proceeds to pay for all the damages and for the innocent victims and families. Before the incident is forgotten. | ||

THANK YOU, Union man! I need a Monty Python fix... BTW, didja know that "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" was a "Python" film? Same peeps, anyhoo- one of my alltime faves. Back OT: I remember when "The Last Temptation of Christ" hit the theaters- all these churchy people went out and protested, because Scorsese took just a few artistic liberties... I eventually rented it on VHS, and really appreciated the whole thing. I thought it did a very decent job of depicting Jesus' life and times... I was kinda befuddled when Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ" was released, and churches across the country BUSSED their congregations and everyone else to see it- audio in Aramaic no less- and the whole thing grossed well over half a BILLION dollars. I did eventually also watch it, but the anti-semitic flavor came through loud and clear- and I really have NO IDEA how churchgoing folks allowed CHILDREN to watch what was essentially an over the top, blood drenched "snuff film" about Jesus. My time will come- until then, I live in peace, UNLESS someone directly causes me harm. | ||

"anti-semitic flavor came through loud and clear" I didn't get that at all. It sure made the Romans look bad though. | ||

Better...  | ||

At worst the video is a straw on a camels back. Belief in a ridiculous religion (redundant I realize), constant western presence in their area, and food inflation imported from the west (see Ben Bernanke's $40billion a month bar tab today) are the real reasons. | ||
| Oldog |
beyond dumb. The rioters getting bent over this dumber... | ||

Straw on the camels back? What did our Embassy have to do with any of it? This is pure evil, and to say that there were "reasons" behind it is folly IMHO. Evil people do evil things and will find a justification, "reasons" don't matter. | ||

how much to recruit Buffalax to really offend them ? or maybe another Sasha Cohen movie | ||

There is an aspect of this violence that should be examined, but I haven't heard any mention of yet. Anywhere. What to the "moderate Muslims" have to say about this. Call them moderate, mainstream, majority, what ever, have they been speaking up on this? I certainly hear their spokespeople when airport security gives then the slightest extra look. I've certainly heard them complain about the unfair treatment they have gotten since 9/11/01. I haven't heard them about 9/11/12 however. They should be begging to get on any news source that will have them to denounce this sort of violence in the name of such a peaceful religion. To me their silence is deafening. Have I just missed it? | ||

They're denouncing the attacks and killings and are worried about retaliatory attacks against muslims in the US. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/12/1383146 9-us-muslims-wary-of-possible-retaliatory-attacks? lite | ||

They worried about the same thing after 9/11. Unlike most of the middle east, the US isn't a tribal/sectarian society, so reprisals are unlikely beyond the odd nut case here and there. There will most certainly not be mobs of anti-Muslim idiots barging into mosques and murdering people. Perhaps they should try being more like us, instead of trying to make us be more like them. Freedom is better than Sharia. | ||
