American Killed In Libya Prophet Protest
Source: Sky News
An American is reported killed in an attack on the US consulate in Libya over a film that is said to insult the Prophet Mohammed.
-snip-
The protest was sparked by outrage over a video being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the US.
The film apparently depicts Mohammed as a fraud, showing him having sex and calling for massacres.
Many Muslims consider any depiction of the prophet to be offensive

The film that sparked the protest is said to have been produced by US pastor Terry Jones and co-produced by some Egyptian Copt expatriates.

(6,045 posts)And the Egyptian authorities allowed folks to climb the wall but not go over it...Although a few did get inside the wall but that was it. Libya was a different story one American was killed!
The film that caused all this was made by a Sam Bacile, a Jewish American with a $5 Million budget...It was made to do exactly what it is doing! The film maker is a pig but the folks acting a FOOL & rioting over this are not very bright either.
