Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate Benghazi leaves 4 dead, inc. U.S. Ambassador[W:939]

Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

The film is offensive to the muslims. The director of the film has gone into hiding and he remains defiant. He describes islam as 'a cancer'. He said he had intended his film to be a provocative political statement condemning the religion.
:yawn: and? I don't recall anyone expecting Christians to go nuts over the LooseChange video floating around the internet. Heck, religion gets described as a "cancer" or worse here on a daily basis.

So you are seriously claiming that the people behind this movie which states Mohammed as a homosexual paedophile lying mass murderer were anywhere near rational when they one day woke up and said.. Hey lets make such a movie, it could be fun!? Screw the facts! That is like saying Adolf Hitler was rational when wrote Mien Kampf which did not exactly portray Jews in a positive light...

I forget the British politician who said this, but it has always struck me as an excellent point, that people's decisions are almost always rational, and it is intellectual laziness to ascribe to them irrationality when it is simply a way of covering for the fact that you do not understand or wish to acknowledge their actual motives.

No today's lesson is DO NOT be surprised if you reap what you sew

I doubt anyone is surprised anymore by the actions of Muslims.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

That is a complete straw man, and very dishonest. Repeating traditional canards about Jewish people and applying them to Israel as a whole is NOT the same as taking exception to an administration.


Of course you did. You legitimized the murders as the inevitable byproduct of the exercize of free speech and indicated that unless we allow Islamists to dictate what we can and cannot say, we should expect more of the same. How is that NOT justification?

Just because you have been deluded into thinking that if you feed the crocodile it will eat you last, all you are accomplishing by feeding it is to make it stronger.


NOBODY has legitimized the murders.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

Is anyone but me sick of Obama and Hillary apologizing to his muslim friends?
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

By whom?


.

Evil 'not-"jews"-mind-you,-that-would-be-racist-but-"Israelies"'. You know, the ones who secretly control all the banks, US Foreign policy, and were responsible for 9/11?
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

There is that. I was leaning more towards John Stuart Mill,

That would be a first.

Mill saw Liberal principles as universal and aplied to every individual equally. Not one single British poster here is the least bit like Mill in that regard, as the hypocritical double standards demanded by your dogmatic multiculturalist viewpoints are in direct opposition to those principles.

His response was kickass, and he slammed the current administration well (~"this indecision [the white house statement being retracted] represents the larger indecision of his foreign policy" = burn). He will move up in the polls.

...Not.....He should not have politicized this situation. He was a bit too gleeful in his attack on the current administration...:no:

Let me understand you...In your mind this murder is are own fault???
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

NOBODY has legitimized the murders.

Or you could tell the truth, instead.

Indicating that they are the expected outcome of the exercize of free speech and laying the blame on that free speech such as you have dome is most certainly legitimizing those murders.

I doubt anyone is surprised anymore by the actions of the US Government

Nah, he was right on. The white house retracting their apology is a circus and an embarrassment, and we've every right to criticize it.

As an agriculturalist, I feel compelled to note that the saying has nothing to do with sewing.

We all do....this stunt did not get Romney any closer to my vote. That is what he wants from me. I would be happy to give it to him, this just does not get it there.

I've never been much of a supporter of democrat foreign policy (for lack of better label, but we could say 'dove' foreign policy), yet I've supported Obama in his decisions regarding Libya and Kenya (among other foreign policy decisions he's made). I would say that Obama (probably thanks to Hillary, who is a hawk) has done pretty well, except for Syria and Iran.

It's quite unlikely that I'll be voting for Romney.

That said, I fully support both Romney's position on the event and his criticism of the embarrassment and indecision that was illustrated by the white house retracting an apology.

Good.....:) Like I said we all have a right to say what we need to about this situation.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

The news of the killings and the way the body of US Ambassador Chris Stevens was dragged through the streets of Libya by blood-crazed Islamists fundamentalists yesterday is beyond shocking.

This is the reality that the present Obama administration has created in the Middle East. This is the true face of the "Arab Spring".
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

I believe that you have. And so has this:

Not a chance.. I know Libya pretty well and I have known many, many embassy people.

The US had NOTHING to do with the Arab Spring and would have been thrilled if it had NEVER happened at all.

I get so weary of ridiculous, unfounded conspiracy theories.

The White House and the entire US Government is an apology waiting to happen, they are both a huge embarrassment

That doesn't mean crap to me. I'm not a believer of "tourist assessment".
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

This is a sad and disturbing day. On the anniversary of 9/11, America is once again under assault by the Muslim jihad. U.S. embassies were attacked and our citizens killed by radical Islamic extremists while our own Embassy in Egypt apologized for any offense a private movie may have caused to Muslims.

And where was our President?

He was silent. All yesterday. Nothing.

And I get so weary of people defending blood-crazed Islamic Fundamentalists!
