31. #6&10 What you imply
Noa   (09.12.12)
What you imply is that it is obvious that Moslems (some at least) behave violently when provoced and therefore the violent situation is the Jew's or the provocer's fault. In short, they have the right for their behaviour and the provocer has not. But exactly the opposite is true, and this is also what we all teach our children in order to live in peace. Now what does that say about these Moslems?
32. Gaddafi's curse
Moise   (09.12.12)
Ambassador Stevens was a vey active member of anti Gaddafis revolution who bring to power those savages. He died the same way as gaddaifis: linched by a hysteric mob he funded and armed and to make it worse it happened on the 9/11 anniversary. Congratulation Obama and Ameica , you did good!!
33. US ambassador to Libya,3 staff killed in rocket attack
Elsie. ,   Gush Halav   (09.12.12)
I think we should step back and think about what is happening, its no good blaming this or other, already the damage has been, 4 Americans lost their lives, lets hope that nobody els loses their lives ,because of one stupid fool who knew what he was doing and got the reaction he wanted
34. Christopher Stevens is a victim
7azon Yesha3ya   (09.12.12)
Christopher Stevens is a victim of 'tag mechir' now gone 'worldwide', to spew poison overseas too. Does it register in Bivi's and Gideon Saar's mind? This is no different than Latrun except that here there is no argument on who wrote what. The wicked idiot even 'signed' his work.
35. An Academy Award winner if I ever saw one
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.12.12)
And based on historical fact to boot. I can't see what these kockamamie Muslims are so upset about.
36. Prosecute Sam Bacile under "fighting words doctrine"
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.12.12)
"The fighting words doctrine, in United States constitutional law, is a limitation to freedom of speech as protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. In 1942, the U.S. Supreme Court established the doctrine by a 9-0 decision in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire. It held that "insulting or 'fighting words,' those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace" are among the "well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech the prevention and punishment of [which] ... have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem.""
37. #6- Blame the Jews, you moron!!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (09.12.12)
You and the entire civilized world should blame the racist muslims for their bigotry, wars, treatment of women. They believe in death and dictatorship. More films and media should be devoted to criticizing these barbarian ingrates. And racists, like you should go to Hell with all the racist christians in the world. " kish mein tuchus" moron!!
38. Moslem states are #1 producers of hate movies against Jews
and others   (09.12.12)
I thought they didn't see any problem of making fun of other people's religions and provoking their people to baseless hatred against them. finally one Egyptian Christian is showing the pain he suffered from Moslem culture and made this film. by killing Americans, Moslems show no matter how much you help them they will still kill you to show their supermacy.
39. Oh, I guess there isn't freedom of speech in Egypt?
(09.12.12)
the beauti of freedom of speech!!
40. Why was this movie made in US ??? ,...
split ,   US   (09.12.12)
The two-hour film, "Innocence of Muslims'' was made by an Israeli filmmaker, Sam Bacile, who has gone into hiding. Speaking by phone to the Associated Press from an undisclosed location, writer and director Bacile remained defiant, maintaining that he intended his film to be a provocative political statement. The movie cost $5 million to make and was financed with the help of more than 100 Jewish donors, said Bacile.
41. @ Tarzan
Aharon ,   Holon, Israel   (09.12.12)
Last I checked, if a non-Jew were to make a movie about how Jews went around killing, rapping and stealing, wouldn't that be called Anti-Semitic? Yet, this piece of filth is some how justified because the ignorant sand people did what most other people would do when they have absolutely nothing left? I don't know if Sam Bacile is Jewish. I'm disinclined to believe that he is. After all, if you saw that shit, most of the 'protagonists' were wearing crosses (i.e.- once again showing the x-ian viewpoint that christians are the persecuted and not jews or muslims, though this is in stark contrast to reality). It is a shame that a U.S. statesman had to die because some religious asshole felt the need to provoke a holy war. So, don't go around blaming Obama, he didn't make the film. Sam Bacile did. Blame him for instigating this horrible event. he knew what he was doing. That's why he did it. The crusades are back in full swing. Assholes. the lot of you!
42. Egypt and Turkey make those BLOOD and Matza films about Jews
Alan ,   SA   (09.12.12)
But NO rioting... Only the Peaceful Ones must have their religion respected!!
43. If he is a Solar Cycle worshiper does it make rioting/mur OK
(09.12.12)
44. #9 I must say George Washington was last honest/true POTUS
Alan ,   SA   (09.12.12)
45. #6 Bill, you are so right
Isac   (09.12.12)
and all Canadians have to be blamed for all the evil deeds in this world. Have a nice day.
46. Sam Bacile
(09.12.12)
Has anybody every heard of this guy, verified he is really an Israeli Jew before the accusing starts? Sounds to me it's an anagram of some sorts for "imbecile". Five million for such an amateur childish movie? They make such shitty movies in the Arab world all the time about the Jews and than nobody cares?
47. #28 Small Guy: answer the question
Old Guy ,   tel aviv   (09.12.12)
Should the Monty Python cast have been executed for making the "Life of Brian"? What punishment should Mahmoud Abbas receive for saying that the Temple did not exist?
48. #36 Benassi
(09.12.12)
Do you think people should be prosecuted for burning an American flag? Those are fighting words.
49. I don't approve of the film, but unacceptable
Henry from New York ,   Under the Tuscan Clouds   (09.12.12)
As a US citizen, I find the murder of our ambassador and diplomatic personnel to be inexcusable. Nations have gone to war for less than this. The Libyan regime owes the US some manner of compensation for this at the very least. It is inexcusable for innocent people to be killed just because someone dislikes a film - however offensive it may be - and invading an embassy and killing an ambassador are even worse. Yes the film is offensive, but there is plenty of material offensive to people of different faiths. In fact, there's plenty of stuff offensive to Muslims that has gone unnoticed like the displaying of their prophet on South Park's opening credits in the 90s. Being offended is never a reason for violence though. You discuss, you do not kill.
50. America abandons free speech under Obama
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.12.12)
Those who vote for Obama are blind, unpatriotic, traitors to America. Talk about going overboard to prove they don't vote for Israel's good.
51. #41 -Aharon
Ram ,   London   (09.12.12)
Hold your horses for one moment. Let's be logical here. You can offend Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and what have you and you would be rebuked and dubbed a phobic of one sort or another. Fair enough!! But you can't do that to Islam, why? Is it because they react murderously that it gives them special status? Do you realize that you are condoning the murderous perpetrators rather than expressing outrage at their barbaric reactions?
52. Gaza Iran Egypt Turkey etc maketh Jew Hate movies every day
(09.12.12)
53. Only Israeli Bacille I heard of was T B Bacille of South T A
(09.12.12)
54. #47 Old Guy
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (09.12.12)
The cast and writers of The Life of Brian were excommunicated from he Catholic Church. There is a law in the United States which was passed in 1942 which states that if you say or do anything that incites violence you can be prosecuted. So again I'll ask you if you deliberately say or do something to provoke a violent reaction, should ypu answer for the consequences?
55. Everyone blames the Jews and Obama denounces the film....
Dan ,   Tel-Aviv   (09.12.12)
But doesn't anyone find it shocking that we just accept that Muslims have the right to kill over a film???? I mean, don't these people have any self-control. Are they that insecure? By denouncing the film in the same breath as condemning the attack, Obama gives creedence to these lunatics with no future because they have no accountability.
56. To Islam Lover, Freedom Hater - #10 Ivor
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (09.12.12)
Your HATRED for FREEDOM of speech and your eagerness to impose extremely barbaric Islamic sharia law on NON-Muslims is despicable. It is evil for you to suggest that anyone should be severely punished for exercising their freedom of speech. YES to Human Rights! NO to cruel Islamic sharia law! ALL people must have human rights! ALL people must have equality before the law! LONG LIVE FREEDOM!
57. #10 Evenbiggerputz, ever heard of the First Amendment?
Jake   (09.12.12)
Ever heard of freedom of speech and religion? Guess not. And where is the incitement in the film? And what is the US law that allows individuals to be deported or extradited for making movies that some people disagree with? And where is your condemnation of the Islamic terrorists who have just murdered 4 American diplomats, and your demand that they be brought to justice?
58. current world
ITSME75 ,   ELKHART USA   (09.12.12)
Just one question, why did the US have sufficient guards on watch? ITSME75
59. It's NOT about the film.
Ezra ,   San Diego USA   (09.12.12)
This story is giving WAY too much credit to the film maker. These issues have been in place for a long time.
60. The Film, "Innocence of Muslims"
ltrail ,   United States   (09.12.12)
In honor of the USofA Ambassador to Libya and those who gave their lives with him, I intend to go a see the film. These murderers will not be victorious by threats, intimidation, and murder.
