View Full Version : American Embassy and Consulate invaded

Im surprised there isnt a thread on the violence of the past 24 hrs.
The American Embassy in Egypt was invaded by rioters. They burned the American flag. There was discussion of possibly hostages, but I dont think there were any taken. Atleast not the last time I checked.
An American Consulate in Libya was attacked by gunfire. At least one was killed. The building was set on fire.
All because someone made an unflattering film about Mohammad.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/american-shot-to-death-in-us-consulate-attack-libyan-security-official-says/
The Embassy had apologized to the rioters. It looks like the White House was smart enough to repudiate it. Probably after they got some backlash about it.
These are acts of war. I seriously dont want to go to war. We need to get our house in order. But these are clearly acts of war, and i dont think this is the last of it.

I'm surprised there isn't a bunch of threads on this and opinions flying all over the place.
The ambassador to lybia was killed and 3 others were killed as well. All because of a movie posted on the internet. Raging barbarians are at it again. They have found an excuse to go into a murderous rage. The Cairo embassy was attacked as well. This is an act of war and if we had a real president there would be serious action taken.
Damn, talk about carter 2, this is unreal.

I've said before that our presence in the ME should be a large air base in Iraq far away from the urban areas and protected by a ten-mile deep kill zone. We'd fly all our supplies in and don't need to interact with the folks there at all. It's main purpose would be to protect our few allies in the region by providing air support.
Now I'm thinking that we no longer need embassies in these countries that are hostile to us. The historical reason for embassies is to foster trade with the host country, and we have no need to trade with them except for oil, and we can do that with OPEC at the UAE. Remove the staff at these locations. We technically own the land parcels so we'll retain ownership and rent them, or have local groups use them as orphanages or schools.

Violent, and deadly, retaliation against an insult to Islam is part of Islamic culture. Is every Muslim in the world at this moment a criminal?
No, but they have a much higher propensity for becoming violent due to the demands of Islamic culture.
As I said before, radicalized Islam cannot peacefully co-exist with the values of free speech. It simply cannot tolerate an insult to the prophet Muhammad or Allah with a turn of the cheek. Death must be the indemnity.

I dislike condemning all muslims as insane and fanatic murderers when the evidence plainly shows the ones committing the acts are a criminal minority. Attempting to put and end to these attacks by attacking an entire religion and it's adherents is bound to backfire and cause more criminal acts than we can even imagine. Arrest and convict the guilty. Stop the criminal gangs, enforce the law but condemning millions of people for nothing more than association? No thanks. Hitler tried that .

BTW, technically they did not commit "crimes", which are civil matters. They committed acts of war by forcibly invading sovereign U.S. territory (the U.S. consulates and embassies in Egypt and Libya), and committed war crimes by killing the ambassador to Egypt and civilian personnel.
We may give that a miss, depending on how quickly the Libyan and Egyptian governments collar, prosecute, and punish the ones who did these things, and let it go as simple civil "crimes".
But if those governments don't get their acts together REAL quick, we must retain the option of regarding them as the acts of war and war crimes they are, and using whatever means we find necessary (including military means followed by U.S. military tribunals) to redress them.

I managed to out-do Gabby, Dorothy, and others with four little words! Talk about impact. I just decided to repeat something I have heard preached from the pulpit from time to time. What is posted here about Islam has the same tone what I hear about Catholicism. Where I come from Catholicism is just as errant as Islam. I don't generally talk about it. However, it's interesting to see Islam so fiercely attacked have such a different reaction to attacks on Catholicism. I have heard both attacked so much that it becomes background noise. I don't care; I don't believe in either one.

You are correct. I have very different view of Islam than you do.
Well said. Over the years I have heard Imams urging those who want to protest to do it in the Mosque in prayer and supplication to God because protesting to a mortal human is akin to using intermediaries which is a Christian concept.
However there is less patient group among us. The Wahhabi/Salafi group (which is a creation of British Intelligence but that's another story) tend to rise up in a more violent way.
With all the insults, persecution, invasions etc... that Muslims have had to endure over recent years, I guess this movie just pushed some over the edge. The maker (who strangely doesn't seem to exist) should be prosecuted for inciting violence. He knew damn well what the reaction would be.
BTW, technically they did not commit "crimes", which are civil matters. They committed acts of war by forcibly invading sovereign U.S. territory (the U.S. consulates and embassies in Egypt and Libya), and committed war crimes by killing the ambassador to Egypt and civilian personnel.

Hmmm, though that wouldn't make sense in the PC world. Unlike the bible thumpers, Catholicism tends to emphasize the logical, with recognition that besides the gospels, the bible is lesson based, not literal. On the point of liberalism though, the Catholic teachings are extreme 'social justice' based.

English speaking ? LOL The Spanish Inquisition was the Christian persecution of muslims, jews etc. They didn't give a shit what language they spoke.
It was some members of the Christian religion committing the same acts of violence as some members of Islam are doing today.
The Inquisition isnt as bad as the Protestants painted it. They were mainly glorified Church courts, which were much more humane than the state courts of the day. It was the states that caused most of the problems.
Even so. It was Catholics, not all Christians.

Attempting to put and end to these attacks by attacking an entire religion and it's adherents is bound to backfire and cause more criminal acts than we can even imagine. Arrest and convict the guilty. Stop the criminal gangs, enforce the law but condemning millions of people for nothing more than association? No thanks. Hitler tried that .

And not the fact that place has been royally ffed up for well over a thousand years now!
Should we not even consider that the Islamists have never had: a Renaissance, a sustained period of Enlightenment, a Magna Carta, a Reformation or a Bill of Rights. That their fanatical rulers still live in the age of the Crusades and Ali Babi. That their Intolerance is on an epic scale: Sunni vs Shia vs Christian vs Alawite vs Jew vs Infidel. That they murder those that disagree and any that even look like they may ever disagree.. That they blow up ancient religious sites which have no relevance to their troubles today. That they are consumed by a crazed religious ideology that will take another century or two to find any kind of true enlightenment. That their Jihadi warriors must be killed or locked away for life.

Dillo, how many thousands of people rioting and killing in how many countries, will it take for you to see these acts as committed by an extremely large group of people, rather than "a minority"? I think scale matters more than percentages in life and death situations.

[I]f you haven’t noticed a pattern, let me illustrate this sadistic re-run. First, anti-Islam propagandists create and promote anti-Islam propaganda under the guise of free speech—knowing it will incite extremists to violence. Second, extremists react to the propaganda, resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians including U.N. aid workers, American citizens, and what we often callously refer to as “collateral damage,”—i.e. innocent women and children. Third, anti-Islam propagandists sit safely in their abodes, thousands of miles away and innocently shrug, “Too bad. This offensive speech is my right.” Finally, Muslims worldwide are put on trial to again condemn the violence—failure to do so is perceived as implicit approval. Yet, Islam remains maligned and, most importantly, innocent people continue to suffer.

Here's what I see:
1. The fact that it is happening outside America (for now, anyway) does not negate the facts of what is happening. And what is happening is big, and is in the name of Islam.
2. It is beyond tiresome to see some of you bring up Christianity again and again whenever "murderous Islamists" stories are posted.

2. It is beyond tiresome to see some of you bring up Christianity again and again whenever "murderous Islamists" stories are posted. At some point you need to address the issues at hand, instead of resorting to some sort of relative morality. Especially one based on things that happened centuries ago.
I never denied anything was happening. Yes---violence is happening IN THE NAME of Islam which isn't the same as Islam is violent. Want a recent example? Westboro baptist Church. Naturally you are aware of what THEY are doing in the name of Christianity.
It's a perfect and current example of what can happen when some asshole highjacks a religion.

Obama did not have any opposition and Mitt outclassed what opponents he had. With the selection of Ryan, Mitt is a little better
But if you want 4 more years of "hope and change" then the choice is clear for you

With all due respect Dillo there is only one way to deal with these bastards. In the movie "The Untouchables" there was a scene where Ness wanted to know "how to get Capone"
he was told
If he pulls a knife - you pull a gun
If he sends one of your men to the hospital - you send two of his to the morgue
These terrorists are no different then Capone. All they understand is force, violence, and strength
That is the way we should be reacting to the murder of US citizens
ideoloical constructs dont always pan out in practice. Even a liberal like me gets that. So let's analyze the
How many American deaths have occurred at the hand of terrorists -10,000? But let's just double that for the sake of argument. Now compare that conservative estimate of the number of Muslims killed combatting the world on terror?
In Iraq alone, better than 100,000 we're killed. Mission accomplished, Iraq is free of terrorists... Right?

We don't care if Iran is free of terrorists as long as they are contained. Like bees in a bottle, they will eventually tire out.

If you are asking what Mitt and Paul would do DIFFERENTLY from Obozo with a straight face then you are either
A) not paying attention
B) PO'd your candidate (if you ahd one) did not win the nomination
C) Uninformed and not wanting to learn
As I am confident C does not apply to you; it must be a toss up between A and B

OK.....
Repeal Obamacare, reduce the rate of growth of spending, offer reforms of the social programs that are bankrupting us, tas reform where deductions are closed but rates are lowered, and treating the private sector as a partner and not an enemy
I would prefer to have a BALANCED budget TODAY since sooner or later the bad medicine will have to be taken - but the Ryan budget is a step in the right direction
Tell me Dillo was Ron Paul your guy? You sound like one of his supporters

Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
By STEVEN A. HOLMES
Published: September 30, 1999
In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.
The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.
In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers. These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and savings are not good enough to qualify for conventional loans, can only get loans from finance companies that charge much higher interest rates -- anywhere from three to four percentage points higher than conventional loans.

Dillo, I work in the mortgage industry. I know what happened. Bill clinton and the Dems believed home ownershipo was a RIGHT and not something poeople had to work and save for
Now we are getting off topic here
If a mod could break these posts off I would enjoy debating this issue wioth you Dillo.
It was the Dems who started this mess and when Pres Bush wanted to reform Fannies and Freddie the Dems balked and of course, played the race card as they opposed any attemot to rein in the bad loans
Remember Barney frank saying there was no problem with Fannie and Freddie?

BAnsks extend unsecured credit on those credit cards Dillo and have to make a profit so they can pay therir employees and extend credit on secured loans
I do not recall anyone from the banks holdig a gun to someones head and making them take a credit card or buy a house
Try living your life without credit and without the banks. I see this attitude everyday as more and more people think they are entitled to freebies and balme others for the debt they took on

That which we call radical Islam is actually fully justified within Islam. We term Islam's Jihadi actions as radical when Jihad is a well established part of Islam !
If we are ever to defeat the radical Islamic movement we must first survive long enough to do so.
The huge problem is that it will take a great many years of blood and treasure to force these folks to give up their agenda to impose Sharia law on the entire world.
My understanding is that it takes about 2 or 3 generations to turn around mindsets witthe possibility that religous mindsets may take even longer! That is a long road, we must not only stay alive that long but also be powerful enough during that long peroid of time to do the job successfully. We are only just starting and yet we face huge opposition from those within this nation for even daring to fight back! Such "useful idiots" could possibly seal our destruction if not stopped themselves ! I vigorously oppose them and their insanity too. --Tyr
