'Killing people is forbidden, and so those that do it violate Islam'

EUGENE, Ore. - The attack on the United States Embassy in Libya is said to be motivated by a controversial movie portraying the prophet Muhammad in a negative way.
A mob of protesters stormed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, killing the Ambassador and three other Americans.
KVAL News spoke with a local business owner who practices the Muslim religion. Ibrahim Hamide said he's not surprised about the reaction to the movie - but also said the people who attacked the consulate and killed people are murderers.
Hamide said the Muslim religion is often misunderstood. "Islam has nuts just like any other religion and they are not the majority."
Hamide said attacks like Sept. 11, 2001, and the most recent one in Libya make people around the world fearful of Muslims.
"Killing people is forbidden, and so those that do it violate Islam," he said. "They are ones that need help. They need to understand their own religion better."
The controversial movie was made in the United States. The film depicts the prophet Muhammad as a womanizer, a pedophile and someone who encourages killing.
"What good is it to insult someone's faith? I would like to ask that question," Hamide said. "Was it a debate where you were bringing facts out or allegations for your own agenda?"
Hamide encouraged everyone to think about before groups of any religion tear the fabric of society and divide a world that he said needs to come together more than ever.
The Islam-defaming, âdisgustingâ (per Hillary Clinton) video was, as others have observed, simply a trigger. But the explosives ignited, which our influence shapers are afraid to acknowledge, have been planted by the massive murder and destruction spree the US has unleashed upon the Muslim world for the last decade. Does Obama envision no blowback from over 4,000 drone assassinations of other peopleâs loved ones in Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere? No outrage over Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and a network of other US torture sites worldwide? No resentment and alarm over suffocating sanctions and threats to attack Iran? No fury that the US relentlessly and remorselessly supports Israeli atrocities against Palestinians and has shielded Israel from international justice through 43 UN Security Council vetoes? Do we expect no repercussions from wholesale destruction of stable and functional economies in Iraq and Libya in addition to mass murder of their people, justified by egregious propaganda that most of their own populations know to be untrue?Â

But letâs ignore the herd of US elephants trampling the Muslim world and focus upon one clumsy, minor filmmaker in California.
 @HumanRightsDefender The Muslim world brought it on themselves. Do you remember. 9/11 I just regret we didn't kill more in Afghanistan. We should have leveled everything and killed everyone.
Atrocities against the Palestinians? The original terrorist. You have it all backwards. We are not the evil ones. The United States is the best thing to ever happen to the human race.
The people that say this film  caused this situation are the same people that blame a woman's clothing for her rape. I blame the violent psychos.
I view these islamic attacks on our interests (in retaliation  to ANYTHING critical of islam) as worse threat to us and our world than nazi Germany. The truth is islam is a religion of violence, it was founded with violence (do your own research!) and is perpetuated by violence or threats of violence. Now there are muslims that don't engage in violence, but they are really not practicing true islam. Remember how these same people celebrated 9/11. Instead of honest, peaceful debate to try and find out the truth about islam, when someone publishes the truth about it they are "insulting someone's faith" and murdering mobs take to the streets. So do you believe your own eyes and thousands of examples of terror and evil or  or the lame lie of "islam is a religion of peace"?
@seaview Which of 57 Islamic majority countries are invading and occupying other peoples' lands as do the US and Israel? (answer: zero). How are people expected to fight back against massive, high-tech colonial aggression except through the low-tech violence called "terrorism"? "Attacks on our interests" is a telling choice of words. Our "interests" include some 800 military bases in other peoples' countries and the self-proclaimed right to invade, seize, torture and commit drone assassinations against anyone who objects to our political domination and corporate resource extraction. Over a million Iraqis died as a consequence of our invasion, after a half million Iraqi children died as a result of our sanctions. Israel has killed 1,472 Palestinian children in the past 12 years, documented by the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem (see www.rememberthesechildren.org). The fact is that these actions by the US, NATO and Israel are entirely illegal under international law. Our "interests" are not sovereign rights justifying international criminality. We are an outlaw state, as is Israel, and these attacks however tragic represent primitive efforts at retaliatory justice we have brought upon ourselves. The clumsy video was merely a trigger to ignite explosive anger for our terrible crimes, and in fact the video rather accurately reflects the complete contempt and disregard for them expressed by our actions. Â
 @HumanRightsDefender  @seaview Iraq was sanctioned after invading Kuwait. And then attacked because Saddam made it appear he had wmd's. So Iran would not invade. Israel has taken no ones land. Palestinians put bombs on their kids and blow up innocent Jewish children. The Jews won their independence after most of the Muslim world attacked them for no reason. And Israel kicked their butts. The civilized people won.You for some reason believe the big lie that we are evil. We saved the world twice. We promote freedom and prosperity. Muslims promote poverty torture and government control.
Liar! Muslims are allowed to kill anyone who does not believe in Islam. Drawing a picture of Muhammad death.Burning a Quran death. Killing if necessary to spread sharia law. It is not a religion of peace. They believe peace will happen when every nation on earth is under sharia law. That is why they call it a religion of peace. Bunch of 7th century barbarians.
He doesn't like the Prophet depicted as a pedophile. What other word would he prefer to describe a man in his fifties with a six year old bride?
Â
Yeah. "Religion Of Peace." If you buy that, then I have a bridge to sell you in the Sahara. Thanks Bush and Obama for that lie. Sarc
The reason Muslims get away with lying like this, is because the West refuses to call them out on their lies. Well this man is lying and anyone who is educated knows it. No one is insulting the Muslim faith, they are merely pointing out the truth about it. There may be nuts in every religion, but none kill more than Muslims (19592 deadly attacks in the name of Allah since Sept 11 2001). What he really means is it's forbidden for Muslims to kill Muslims. Anyone else is fair game unless they convert. But even that is a lie, because they kill one another more than they kill anyone else. If it was the movie that motivated the killings, why was Obama warned on Sept 4th by Egypt that talk of the attacks was credible? What did Obama do when he got this news? He played GOLF!
and yet lots of muslims do it on a daily basis,how about the punishment rapes that happen to very pretty young girls when say a family member(brother?)does something slightly wrong how does the homomuhhmad handle that one?oh thats right he is the one that said do it
@Iam1woody "homomuhhmad"? You'll be censored...grin...
@OregonOrator that would be a first oh wait no it wouldnt
