The US ambassador to Libya is among four Americans killed in an attack on the US consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, President Barack Obama has confirmed.

Unidentified armed men stormed the grounds on Tuesday night in a protest over a US-produced film that is said to insult the Prophet Muhammad.

They shot at buildings and threw handmade bombs into the compound.

Protesters also attacked the US embassy in Cairo over the film.

In a statement, President Obama condemned the "outrageous attack" on the facility in Benghazi.

This can be considered an act of war both in Libya and Egypt. The attack on the US Embassies comes on 9/11. I think this was planned

"The film that sparked the demonstration is said to have been produced by a 52-year-old US citizen from California named Sam Bacile, and promoted by an expatriate Egyptian Copt"

Could/should these two be charged with a hate crime?

Maybe I should have said 'racial', though I think 'hate' still fits their persona

"The two men are described as having anti-Islamic views"

I would call what the Muslims did in Cairo and Libya as anti American and anti Christian and worse and also an act of war

But, apparently, if it wasn't for what these two did, the Ambassador and others would still be alive.

THe answer is NO NO NO and I think Muslims just used this as an excuse to attack our Embassies on 9/11

So who do we go to war with over this? Libya and Egypt, or just Muslims in general?

Does not matter war is probably coming Iran says Israel should be wiped off the Earth, Israel asks why should they wait to take action, growing anti American protests and violence in the Muslim world such as Libya , Egypt, etc my guess is Obama will not support Israel after it attacks the Nuclear targets in Iran

I don't think we should be apologizing for acts of free speech.
But here is my take.
We are sending 3 billion respectively to Libya, Egypt, and Pakistan.
That is 9 billion just for these three countries that are laughing at us.
Think I would start shutting off all the aid we keep sending.

bobwg · Sep 12, 2012

By the way reports are when Muslims took down our flag and put up their flag it was a flag that resembles Bin Ladens Flag and they were chanting BIn Laden is one of us
