I might just cry. I'm American and I'm Muslim. Why are they burning my country's stuff?? Why are they punishing all of us?? What good is this doing? Have they taught us Americans a lesson? If they have, its not a good one.

Some days I am ashamed to be called a human. The stuff I see from both sides is making this whole week one of those days.

very sad

I think the biggest thing that is bothering me is the censorship for whatever reason of what really happened to the ambassador. I saw the pictures of his body being drug through the streets and apparently he was sodomised as well as reported by the lebanese papers. I saw the pictures that for whatever reason, the lebanese press decided to publish. For whatever reason, the American press is keeping the details of his death a secret and I do not know if that is to somehow keep things calm or to protect his family but the true story of what happened to this poor man is beyond awful. Why the real story of what happened to this poor man and staff is not being told is beyond me. That being said, this movie was apparently made and financed by Coptic Egyptians and the man who arranged for it to be dubbed is very known in right wing circles as the coptic cowboy, Morris Sedak.

I have been to the Tunisian embassy and it has many layers of barricades and for these protesters to breach them would be quite a feat.

Oh and of course, Romney the twit is blaming Obama for the ambassadors murder.

Sigh...

Ooh, someone brought their Pamela Geller pompoms to the conversation. Completely unsubstantiated reports that only the scummiest of scummy Islamophobe blogs and whatnot have been braying about are EXACTLY what this thread needed. Hat's off to you Kat, you never disappoint.
