Protestors stormed the US Embassy in Cairo
Guards fired warning shots to keep the crowd at bay...something to do with people getting jumpy over a 'controversial' film on the Prophet.
Not enough :facepalms: in the world could get close to describing how stupid these people are.
Reuters are reporting that an American has been killed at a protest at a Libyan consulate over the apparent insult of Mohammed.
The film looks fecking shocking tbf. In that, I can't believe anyone managed to get anyone to finance, shoot or act in it. It actually makes me incredibly annoyed. Especially since I cant get my Buddy Cop show "Schiz", about a psychiatric out patient cop whose his own buddy, off the ground.
It's deliberately provocative, incredibly offensive and appallingly made.
But so what? Anyone trying to kill people over it is a fecking moron and - ironically - bolstering precisely the kind of negative depictions of Islam promoted in this (not really a) film.
The whole thing is retarded from start to finish. I hate people.
Imbeciles.
According to NYT
"The Wall Street Journal reported that the drama, titled “Innocence of Muslims,” was produced and directed by an Israeli-American, Sam Bacile, a California real-estate developer who called Islam “a cancer,” in an interview. Mr. Bacile told The Journal that he raised $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors and shot the two-hour movie in California last year.
Last week, an Egyptian-American Copt known for his broadsides against Muslims drew attention to the trailer in an Arabic-language blog post and an e-mail newsletter in English publicizing the latest publicity stunt of the Florida pastor Terry Jones, reviled in the Muslim world for burning copies of the Koran."
Everyone from the film makers and those offended are retarded.
Wait a second, they're wearing V for Vendetta masks and have sprayed All Coppers are Bastards on the wall? That's a rather anachronistic protest.
way to over react about a movie. feel bad that the US Ambassador and others were killed and I doubt that's the end of it. hope that guy that made the movie and his backers are happy. I'm sure they're revelling in the chaos this has caused.
To the west , Take your money and your technology out from this fecked up region and leave us to rot in our dark prehistoric times until may be one day we fecking wake up from this fecking pathetic state.

What are those black flags they're holding there? Do they have Arab Spring written on them above that sword?
Indeed Sults. This is the offending film btw. Needless to say it's incredibly offensive to Muslims, so I'd advise not watching it if you're so inclined. But it's also bat shit stupid, and comically amateur.
It's laughingly appalling. And obviously, deliberately incendiary. It's very likely it was made to incite just a reaction. Rising to it is the dumbest thing anyone could do.
NOTE: $5m!!!...fecking hell. That's just a criminal waste of film production budgets. We could get at least another 3 Mockbuster CGI Dinosaur films out of that.
How did the protestors not watch that and just laugh at the ridiculousness of it?!

My guess is the vast majority have not watched it.
