"Deter us from what?" Obama is a lot of talk, most of it erroneous or bluff.

Arabs aren't peaceful as they claim themselves. Very angy, wild people with two faces. Definitely.

I always find it unbelievable that we Americans keep pumping financial aid into these anti-American countries. $1.5 BILLION to Egypt??
The USA mission to liberate the Libyan people cost $1 BILLION plus the Humanitarian aid.

FACT: You can't just liberate people like this - it doesn't work - they need to have a Dictatorship to keep them under control because they are like wild animals that can't be domesticated. Why civilized nations think they can clone themselves in these countries is puzzling.

STOP THE AID NOW!!! Let them sink back into the quagmire we liberated them from. This is a can of worms!!

Islam is truth and eternal and Muhammad(PBUH) is the final prophet by Allah. Turning away from the truth and using dirty ways to insult Islam and demoralize Muslims is not the solution worlds problems. Lets everybody rethink and do your research and don't just believe the propaganda shared by media around the world.

But there is no such thing as a god. Gods are something that was created by people in the dark ages to provide answers to the unknown. There is no Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or any other god.
Prophets were people who were just smarter than the rest. They had better brains and could tell people things that amazed them and so they were revered as prophets - which ultimately turned them into "Profits". There were treated with respect and lived freely as the people fed them and gave them anything they wanted.
Religion is still the cause of much death and destruction. Imagine people fighting over whose god is more powerful, each claiming their god is the only true god - but all the while and throughout history there has never been any evidence of a god except the one that spews from the mouths of the people who believe there is a god. How ridiculous!! It is just an excuse for people who are inherently violent to proceed with violent acts upon people who are inherently peaceful.

Religion and Greed = Violence and Death

Obama really dropped the ball on this one. The Arab Spring is out of control and the first reaction is to apologize? This president's entire foreign policy is falling apart. It's time for a change in leadership. We tried Obama and it didn't work, not economically, not domestically, not diplomatically. It's been a disappointment.

Wh is it the Americans are choosing to prevoke the Muslim by publishing such movies or articles that are insulting their Religion & believes?


Prophet Mohamed is in Every true Muslim Mens heart.

Please stop insulting the Muslim people & the Muslim people will stop the outrage.

good and bad people are everywhere. problem is, these people dont understand difference between good and bad. they get outraged \ destroy other people's properties and even get out of control and kill other people.
I am a muslim and i believe doing all this is NOT going to change anything. a peaceful protest is a better answer than voilence.
on the other hand, people who made that video, they knew whats going to happen but they still did. didnt they provoked more hate towards our country? arent those people equally responsible for this disaster ?
i just dont know what to say. I always get disappointed when i see muslims doing this because they make us (normal muslim human beings) look bad. I condemn attacks on us embassy.

In our country, freedom of speech is protected under the constitution. We have fought wars to protect our freedom to think and say what we feel. Stop insulting our culture and freedom of speech and stop murdering us in the name of your outrage.

Sir, an American did this, not all Americans. Your comment is like saying all Muslims are violent. Clearly that is not the case, but obviously nations and religions are not to be blamed for the actions of individuals.

As far as I am concerned the Muslim "men" are ignorant barbaric savages who are cowards. They have slaughtered people who were in Libya helping the people of that country. We have freedom of speech in our country. You can say whatever you want to, because we are civilized and intelligent enough to know words do not hurt anyone. Our children even have a saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me," Even our children are smarter than Muslim "men". Why do you think most Muslim countries are still primitive and in poverty when their countries are over 2000 years old and the USA, only a little over 200 years old,is rich, educated, and advanced? It us because of the primitive religious beliefs Muslims have.

All Americans did not make the movie. A few people did. Should we be outraged at all Muslims for what a few Muslims did to us on 9/11?

People insult Christians, Jews, Buddhist, etc, all the time and they DON'T KILL in retaliation, because killing is a worse sin. So why do you excuse Muslims that kill when their faith is insulted? Why do you try to stop the insults, but not the killing? What is worse in Islam, insulting the prophet or taking a human life?

Please answer.

Kad, the United States is a country of 300 million people. A tiny tiny tiny percentage of those 300 million people choose to provoke you and your fellow Muslims. In our view, it is better to tolerate a few people with strange ideas than to start down the dangerous path of trying to decide which speech is allowed and which is not. We do not believe that any speech, article, movie, music, or any belief should result in violence. You can 100% disagree with someone, even to the point of HATING them, but you cannot commit violence against them simply because of that feeling or their beliefs. That is the way of barbarity.

I can understand that point entirely. That said, I am a christian. And the world is littered with videos that make a mockery of Christians and Jesus. But the Christians are not out doing these things.


I understand the Muslim world is offended but that is no reason to act out like this.

Because majority of us do not wars, we want peace. We do not want republican warmongers in the white house. No one has apologized about anything , just listen to what president says. And if you know all the answers then why aren't you running for president.
