Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and hauled down the American flag, replacing it with a black standard with Islamic emblems, apparently in protest of the production of a film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed.

The incident prompted a volley of warning shots to be fired as a large crowd gathered outside, said CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene.

The replacement flag read, "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger."

Others expressed more general grievances about U.S. policy, chanting anti-American slogans and holding up bits of a shredded American flag to television camera crews in front of the embassy.

An embassy operator told CNN that the facility had been cleared of diplomatic personnel earlier Tuesday, ahead of the apparent threat, while Egyptian riot police were called to help secure the area.

...more at source...

This better not mean we got another Iran on our hands.

Allah means God. So they're saying there is no God but there is God. Smart people! All I can do is laugh... at Mohammed. He must be very insecure.

The bible pretty much says the same thing. "No god but God." It's just semantics. Doesn't make them stupid either, just misdirected. It's like people voting for Obama to Ford.

Hence, the difference between god and God.

Chevalr1c · 09-11-2012, 08:37 PM

The phrase only means that Allah is the only god they are allowed to pray to. It is related to the fact that Christianity/Islam, as monotheist religions, have had a past of "struggling" against polytheist religions that had to make way in order to let the first two mentioned succeed at spreading widely.

It's written in the article incorrectly. Just sayin'.

It gets worse...
Protesters attack U.S. diplomatic compounds in Egypt, Libya

One confirmed dead (Libya makes it sound like there's non-US casualties too), fires started.

Yup the US ambassador.

FordGT90Concept · 09-12-2012, 11:45 AM

It's official:
Obama condemns killing of U.S. ambassador to Libya

"rocket attack"

That sounds an awful like a declaration of war.

"Libyans were also killed, the contractor said, saying the victims were shot on the spot."

mtosev · 09-12-2012, 12:04 PM

Death

Stevens was killed on September 11, 2012 by Libyan militiamen in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The attackers were reportedly enraged over the film Innocence of Muslims which may have insulted the Prophet Muhammad.[1][3] Stevens was the first sitting U.S. Ambassador to be killed in office since Adolph Dubs in Afghanistan in 1979.[4]

He died of smoke inhalation after the Benghazi consulate was set on fire by the mob.[3] Two US Marines who were sent to the area when the disturbance began were also shot dead.[5]

Sounds an awful lot like a bunch of ill-informed undereducated nut jobs more like.

Could be, but still, not US Ambassodor has been killed since 1979. Retribution should be in order.

Quite untrue, Paul (in the bible) used the many gods and the idol to the unknown gods as an example.

There are many Gods, for some its money, food, drink, sex, pleasures.

What is your god?

In the rest of the situations, we just move out of their country, stop trading with them, or with any one who trades with them, and attack will be responded to with mid-size nukes in major population centers. Its their problem, let them deal with it.

The irony of this? When I first saw the link to this on CNN, it wasn't "breaking news" or anything. It was very low key. You know what the headline was? Apple. Fucking Apple. Everyone in the press wants to make love to the iPhone 5 so it took them a few hours to figure out their obsession wasn't actually "news." Anyway, they didn't elevate it to headline status until the presidential campaigns commented on it (Romney's campaign was sparring with Obama's campaign as usual). They didn't throw "breaking news" on it until it was confirmed by the White House that a US ambassador was killed. Now, it remains in the top spot due to the Al Queda link. Thank god the Apple shit vanished to the tech section where it belongs.

...priorities, someone lacks them.

DannibusX · 09-12-2012, 09:31 PM

I don't know who I'm more pissed at. The terrorists that carried out the attack, or Fox News for publishing a photo of Ambassador Stevens' corpse being dragged on their front page.
