From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/2012\/09\/14\/violent-protests-across-middle-east-target-embassies-pope-visit-to-lebanon\/#ixzz26SN97V35\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Protesters reportedly broke into the German Embassy in Sudan &#8212; pulling down its emblem and raising the Islamic flag &#8212; and demonstrators in Lebanon burned Kentucky Fried Chicken and Arby&#8217;s restaurants while chanting against the pope&#8217;s visit to Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>At least one protester was killed and 25 were injured in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli after clashes between police and protesters over an anti-Islam film, security officials said.<\/p>\n<p>In Egypt, protesters in Ciaro&#8217;s Tahrir Square could be seen carrying a 4-foot-tall poster of Usama bin Laden, and graffiti reportedly found on the U.S. Embassy there read: &#8220;Take care America. We have 1.5 billion bin Ladens.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, we killed bin Laden, so, do you really want to make that comparison?<\/p>\n<p>The Germans, The Pope, Arby&#8217;s, KFC? They have even less to do with the stupid movie than anyone at the embassies. It&#8217;s like an entire area of the world are armed retarded children.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The protesters, who gathered after weekly Muslim Friday prayers, tore up an American flag and waved a black, Islamist flag through the streets. When protesters tried to move toward the embassy, they were confronted by lines of police who fired tear gas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With our soul, our blood, we will avenge you, our Prophet,&#8221; they chanted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess going to prayer had nothing to do with the protests, though. Anyone bother to ask what anyone has done that needs to be avenged, <em>per se<\/em>?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, a branch of the international network that advocates a worldwide Islamic state, on its website blamed the U.S. government for allowing the film to be produced and released, calling it &#8220;an act of barbarism that cannot go unpunished.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yup, allowing people their right to free expression is more barbaric than burning down your hometown and killing innocent people. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, it probably doesn&#8217;t help that the Obama Administration has focused more on apologizing for the film than the violence it has caused in their speeches. These dirt peddlers know what they can do to gain the sympathy of our government. It&#8217;s going to be a shock for them in January, I hope.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think those goat ropers in the Middle East are just running out of targets and &hellip; <a title=\"Protests grow more pointless by the minute\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=32007\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Protests grow more pointless by the minute<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32007\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
