U.S. Pastor Hangs Mohammed In Effigy And Posts Film Depicting Him As
Homosexual Child Molester. Says It Was To Show That Islam Is A Violent
Religion.
Back in 2010, one of the most virulent and
violence-prone pastors in the country, Terry Jones, caused an international
uproar in his threat to burn the Q'uran. Now again, the actions of Pastor Terry
Jones of Gainesville, Florida have led to riots on two U.S. Embassies, causing
the death of one U.S. State Department Employee in Libya.
"An American State
Department employee was killed in Benghazi, Libya, today, when Libyans stormed
the U.S. consulate, angry about a U.S. movie reportedly linked to controversial Pastor Terry Jones .
Anger over the film that some believe insults the Prophet Muhammad also led to protests in Cairo, where demonstrators climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy, took down the American flag and replaced it with a black flag."
Statesman
and politicians have been quick to respond to the attacks in their own ways:
while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the attacks on the
embassies, Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney condemned the Obama
Administration for sympathizing with the attackers:
"I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," he said. "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
That
statement was made after the U.S. Embassy in Cairo condemned "the
continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of
Muslims."
No official statements have been made concerning
Pastor Terry Jones.
"If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our
freedom of action."
- a recently scrawled graffiti on the side of the U.S. Embassy.
Sam Bacile, an American citizen who said he produced, directed and wrote t he two-hour film said he had not anticipated such a furious reaction. And while he's sorry for the death of the American diplomat, he blames lax embassy security.
As in the past, Pastor Jones disavows any responsibility for violence or death.
Lest We
Forget
The film (clip) and the video below were
produced for the 11th anniversary of 9/11 for the greatest Islamophobic effect
while playing upon fears for the safety of Coptic Christians in Egypt. They may
seem as incendiary as Jones' burning of the Q'uran since they focus not only on
Islam, but Christian persecution, pedophilia and homosexuality - all hot button
issues abroad as well as in the U.S. The ill-conceived investigation of
"Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators" by congresswoman Michele Bachmann
is still fresh in the minds of Americans.
