U.S. Envoy, 3 Consul Officials Killed in Benghazi
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, and three officials were killed when a mob attacked the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, the interior ministry said Wednesday.
"The ambassador was killed along with three other officials," said Wanis al-Sharif, the deputy minister of the interior. Stevens' death in Tuesday's attack was confirmed in a tweet by Mustafa Abu Shagur, the deputy prime minister.
Stevens, a career officer with the U.S. foreign service, had been in the country for less than four months after taking up his post in the capital Tripoli in May.
Fawzi Wanis, who heads the High Security Commission in Benghazi, confirmed that Stevens was at the consulate when it was attacked.
The ambassador was killed when an armed mob protesting against a film deemed offensive to Islam attacked the US mission, just hours after Islamists also stormed Washington's embassy in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
The film at the center of the anti-US protests was made by an Israeli-American who describes Islam as a "cancer" and depicts the Prophet Mohammed sleeping with women, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Before confirmation of Stevens' death, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that a State Department official had been killed in the attack on the consulate, saying: "We are heartbroken by this terrible loss."

of course what they've done is not acceptable by any means
no religion will accept that
and if some muslims do mistakes, nobody can blame Islam religion for the same.
in every religion you will find people who are shame on it
what happened is shame on them

This looks like Qaddafi saying to the US " I protected your interests in the past but you will be punished by those you helped overthrow me";
History repeats itself: Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, and very soon Syria.Never understood American foreign policy that sounds something like that: "Get rid of our friends and replace them with our enemies" Sad, sad, sad!

those people you are talking about in Syria are minor, and they will not take over anything in Syria.
the FSA is the majority (more then 80%) so don't worry about that.

Ya khanzeer, Islam will prevail , one day the non Muslims in Lebanon are going to have to pay the jizyah, Lebanon is Muslim land, whiter you like it or not, it was under muslim rule for thousand of years, enjoy the little bit you khanazeer have left, this is what happened when you get allele freedom, remember you dogs the crusaders when they came to Jerusalem they killed the Jews and Christians before the Muslims, Muslims always protected the two.

nothing unusual about the reactions , same religious racist fanatic reactions..the real player calculated all these "normal" reactions ,putin will never accept the loss of lybia , and iran will never accept the loss of bashar..
i am not lessening the CRIME of anybody,i am not a religious person ,i encourage every human being to have higher education and get rid of the virus called religion.
poor america,a big body with a small brain,the daily drones in pakistan , the hundred of thousands murdered in irak,afghanistan and its alliance with the sionist entity, will make putin's work succeed and enjoyable.
N.B. putin was raised by the KGB ,playing religion without being contaminated.

Those terrorists have again like in Afghanistan turned their guns against there lords. You wanted the "arab spring", and this is what you empowered, a bunch of extremist, lunatic psychopaths wahabists on a killing stray. Mabrouk yaa amrika.

How can you believe in God, yet appoint yourself a defender of God, kill innocent people under His name. No one is insulting to Muslims more than Muslims themselves ( their leadership does not denounce such acts) . No one is more disgraceful to God more than some Muslims who show God so weak, to require their assistanc.

Whats your point there BSThrower? I'm sensing you are probably enjoying this new you warped freak! I have to say an abuse of the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others is not right especially when it can put other innocent civilians at risk of harm BUT does not justify murder. Extremists...whether it be Islam, Jew, Christian and of course scums like HA should be targeted and removed from society - PERIOD!

The movie is definitely insulting and I condemn strongly. However by reacting like this, muslims are showing how intolerant and violent they can be. They should condemn it as firmly as possible and take legal action against the people who produced or who show this movie.

@pierro,
totally. I see Egypt condemning the movie, not the killings or the threats.. since when is a word, a book or movie worth more than a human life ? The arab world has ONE opportunity to react swiftly, now, and condemn in the harshest terms any savagery committed in the name of islam

Be ware guys some of the Israelis are posting on this site. Their words are very offensive cause their aim is to saw more animosity between Christians and Muslims; March 8 or 12 or FPM etc...Some of these postings are very very low and ignorant so try not to respond to them!!!!

Phoenix, but in Lybia the West acted quite swiftly in support of the rebels. the rebels have been fed and armed, and liberated themselves, and this was the nice outcome. In syria one and a half of atrocities passed, nobody intervened, Bashar killed 20.000 people, the revolution is perpetrating war crimes too, and things are the way they are. The big arabic country next to Lebanon is filled with salafists and jihadists, who remeber well that Damascus was the first capital of the Sunni Islamic Empire. You are Christian, and your correligionaries there are scared of the signs of what could happen there, and I have not so many evidence of the fact that as a community they are deeply involved in supporting the revolution, as you said. I don't understand yet if you want a negotiated solution for Syria, or a crushing military victory of the rebels against a regime who lost all legitimacy.

That's the difference between Muslims and christians, if you loved Jesus , the way Muslims loved mohammmed peace be upon both of them. We love them both, then maybe you could understand. America deserves this and more, when are the people going to wake up, everyday day they violate our holy books and prophets, and you want us to ignore.

Bistonie...point taken but let me say this: from the dawn of times, blasphemy is no surprise. The times of Jesus is a perfect example. People had no scruples, ethics and pretty much like animals. Did Jesus order his followers to kill/murder those who acted in this manner...would Mohammad if still alive and saw this video order revenge? ABSOLUTELY NOT! They would condemn retaliation and especially in the manner it was done. So my point is if you truly love these prophets....you would do as they would and NOT KILL in the name of God. It's called forgive my child as they do not know better.....

Forgive the Americans, I think not habibi, they killed one million Iraqi children, what about them, they are biggest ally to israel which a cancer in the middle east, I can keep naming until tomorrow the atrocities they ve commtitted and there only in Libya to plunder it's wealth and steal it's oil, they make plans and they backfire on them, not everybody is a sellout to the Americans, I know you need the help of the western nations to run a country but screw them I rather live like a cave man , then a man with no dignity and honor

The Israeli Mossad was behind 9 11, jetfuel doesn't melt steel beams you moron, believe everything CNN tells you, America is not arming Muslims or putting them in power, this is there plan backfiring, you think they support muni seen n Syria, but they support bashar, thats why they watch very closely, America will go into syri after bashar falls so they can protect Israel, they are a bunch of hypocrites. They don't care about Muslim blood being spilled. I hope there ambassador burns in he'll eternally

Sad...sad..sad to read this. Two wrongs don't make a right bistonie. The work/action of a few should not reflect those of the majority. Your views/approach to this unfortunately is the reason why peace will never be achieved on this planet. Forgive and forget. Play "Imagine" by John Lennon a few times and maybe that will tame your heart a bit....

Do you think will be free with peace, they tried for sixty years but to no avail, most palestinian Christians like Lebanese leave there lands, well let me tell you something, there's many wars to come, this is gods promise, so if you don't like go live in brazil or Argentina , there's

How is an insult to Islam, maybe you should comment on things your mind can comprehend you bunch of hypocrites, when 20 civilians get bombed by America in Pakistan or Yemen of afghnistan, I don't see any of bastards condoning there actions but all of sudden this attack on the holy ambassador, and you all are condemning and posting stupid comments.

Was one of the 7 shiites an ambassador of Iran ?
Or has the shiites supported financially and militarily the independence of Pakistan ?
If yes, the coverage would have been the same...

Who said it was our ambassadors, all of the Muslim country leaders are slaves to the Americans, theyndo as they are told, that's why there is so much poverty in the Muslim, world, so don't say they don't attack Muslims, the majority of innocent people are dying today in the world are Muslims, if you don't know by now, then wake up to reality, it's only a matter of time

The Hindus are occupying Kashmir and killing Muslims and raping there women there
According to UN the most persecuted minority in the world is arakan people in Burma who are Muslim and have population of 5 million and they are being slaughtered by the buddhist, not to forget chinas buddisht who also kill ing Muslims, the Shia in Iraq and Lebanon also killing Muslims, the west , I need not mention there crimes and all the blood on there hands. So what are you trying to say you imbecile can't you see that if Muslims unite then you guys are all finished , that's why they unite against Islam and anyone who actually is a practicing Muslims and follows his beliefs, which is basically praying five times a day fasting Ramadan giving zakat , doing pilgrimidge and testifying that there is only one god, then he is a terrorist and wahabi, Why, because hollywood been portraying us like that for the past 30 years,

Mansour and Bistonie, you are both complete lunatics. Bistonie thinks we use pages of the Koran for toilet paper in the West. Are you retarded? We get along very well here. Just because you see the filth coming from a few idiots in the southern US, you think we all do that? How foolish can you be? And then you speak of a tax on non-Muslims and you expect what? You are falling into a trap of blind religiosity. And mansour, shame on you. You are not behaving as Christian in the least.

i know christians who respect muslims,but i know in the west alot of people dont like muslims, i dont care care, its no surprise, thats why these acts of revenges shouldnt be a surprise, they didnt just create a film, they want to burn an effigy, and before they wanted to burn a qura, obviiously its not all non muslims who hate, but the ones who do have to be put in check, when are you going to realise that muslims are not going to tolerate these insults anymore

Prophet Muhammad peeace be upon him and jesus and moses, and all messengers of god, yeah well when his granfather used to take him to syria, a christian monk nameds Georges, told his grandfather, that he will be the next prophet, that he has all the signs of prophet hood, so in reality they are not just insulting islam, they are also insulting christianity, Muhammad PBUH is mentioned in the old testament, and he wasnt sent for arab people, he was sent for all mankind, the christians and muslims are very similar, except we beleive in jesus as a prophet, and we will defend him the same way we defend any other prophet,
13 September 2012, 10:07

i dont agree with the picture, they depict of jesus, with blonde hair and blue eyes, but just say somoneone went to the christian areas in lebanon and burn that picture and made a video to show the world, would you be happy, would you call that freedom of speech, or is that a crime that deserves punishment

BISTONIE you donkey you muslims are the only ones burning churches and where in the old testmeant does it mention that fake prophet of yours who was fooled by the devil himself????you amaze me with the fake facts you say....just remeber its was mohammed who said he was fooled by the devil many times and who saw the devil many times who married a 8 year old girl who took slaves and murdered and rapped and if you think that is all in the name of GOD then my dumb muslim sheep your religion is nothing but the devils own.this is he reason you cant question islam because its full of crap!
long Live The Syrian Civil War!
