| Al Qaeda in Yemen urges Muslims to kill U.S. diplomats over film |
| 2012-09-15 |
| DUBAI (Reuters) - The Yemen-based branch of al Qaeda urged Muslims to step up protests and kill more U.S. diplomats in Muslim countries after a U.S.-made film mocking the Prophet Mohammad which it said was another chapter in the "crusader wars" against Islam. Now they'll use the film as an excuse... "Whoever comes across America's ambassadors or emissaries should follow the example of Omar al-Mukhtar's descendants (Libyans), who killed the American ambassador," the group said, referring to Tuesday's attack on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi. "Let the step of kicking out the embassies be a step towards liberating Muslim countries from the American hegemony," a statement posted on an Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) website on Saturday said. "The film published in America which insults our Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, comes as part of the continuing crusader wars against Islam," AQAP's statement said, referring to European wars in the region some 1,000 years ago. Which happened just yesterday in their brains... "The incident is so huge that the resources of the nation should be pooled together to kick out the embassies of America from Muslim lands," it said. Praising the attacks by angry demonstrators in Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Sudan on U.S. and other Western missions as "natural responses to a huge insult", the statement said that American embassies should be burned and diplomats killed. It said defending the Prophet's honor was a "religious duty and obligation to the Muslim nation, each according to his ability". The group also said that Muslims living in the West have an extra duty to be involved in attacks on key targets. "They are more capable of doing harm and reaching the enemy is easier for them," it said. |

| #5 Were George S. Patton alive and running for president I'd vote for him. Next best alternative Mitt Romney. The present prez is heading us towards a world of $hit. |

| #4 This kind of behavior will continue until we utterly crush one of these little clusters of parasites. Then it will end for awhile. We will be forced to rinse and repeat as long as Islam exists. The Quran says that Islam will dominate the world, and they'll keep trying until they either succeed, or are totally eliminated from the population. THERE IS NO OTHER SOLUTION. Anything else is wishful thinking by idiots. |

| #3 Probably downloaded it on the way to Fryday Preyers and downloaded it, thinking it was just another bit of prawn. Bit turned on as well, until yman explained their marching orders and why, thus realizing that pleasured by a now illegal video, it is his necessity to over-denegrate the video...to hide his own naughtiness. "Look at this video, it is horrible, right?" "Right?" "Right?!" |

| #2 It's my understanding that it's been around for a few months at least, 49 Pan. The more interesting question is, how would these 3d world rioters - most of whom don't even have indoor plumbing or electricity - see the YouTube video in the first place? (Not that I believe the video is the "cause" of said riots and murder.) |

| #1 So exactly when did the video come out? I heard the attacks on the Ambo happened before the video was released... |
