Someone break out the sound-bite shears! I found too much context in this one!

OK, cut it right after "U.S."

That's not what the derpers in the Al Jazeera FB threads were telling me, but okay then.

Watching the speeches at the hangar at Andrews AFB, I find Hillary Clinton 199 times more presidential. I suppose that isn't difficult by comparison.

Hey, they didn't say which America, now did they subby?

Than Romney? Me too.

Yeah, stupid Obama standing there, talking, being all serious. Psshh. That's not Presidenting.

I find political speeches in the presence of flag draped bodies vulgar. No matter who is making the speech.

Many Muslims living in the Middle East, Asia and Africa don't understand that America has freedom of the press and freedom of speech and that, UNLIKE in their countries, the American government does not control or approve films like this anti-Muslim film.

So when an anti-Muslim film gets made, they blame America.

Amateur Hour goes on and on

I thought it was a case of protest against an anti-Muslim movie.

It's also being portrayed to them as if this film is some big blockbuster movie that's being shown to audiences all around the world. I'm pretty sure that if they'd actually bothered to watch the damn thing, they'd be laughing at how comically cheesy it is just like I was.

You have to understand that in some parts of the world "Death to America" is sort of like "Aloha."

"Hey Ahmed, Death to America."

"Oh hey, buddy; Death to America to you to. Long time, no see."

***

"Now you kids drive safe and make sure you're in by ten. Have fun and Death to America."

"Okay mom, we will."

"What, are you too old to give your mother a Death to America before you leave?"

Do you remember all the riots and destruction of embassies on American soil when Valley of the Wolves came out?! Oh good times. I still have one of the jackets I looted off the bodies! It's a nice coat!

Have you ever seen an Egyptian movie?

Have you seen any of the 'blockbusters' that come out of Bollywood? I am sure Muslims have seen a lot of those than American films, and Bollywood films are usually not up to the production standards that Hollywood follows. So it is probably difficult for them to just look at a small part of the film and see the differences.

Elzar: Hopefully the Muslim world will fail to notice youtube videos of noted atheist comedian/pianist Tim Minchin

Point well taken.

Let the record show that I hereby rescind my last remark.

TappingTheVein: Only muslims are allowed to make derogatory films bashing other religions.

I recommend Rider Without a Horse, Saturday Hunter and the Syrian masterpiece Ash-Shatat.

Movies and TV-series officially broadcasted on arab countries' national TV of course, not some student film on YouTube.

Well, if Assad does it it must be totally cool.

SkinnyHead: Amateur Hour goes on and on

Yes, but Romney will be but a lanced boil on the ass of American politics in a couple of months, so hang in there. Please do keep thinking deep thoughts.

Just because other people are shiateheads doesn't make it right.

Liar. You'd be behind it if Romney were standing there. Stop lying.

I'm guilty of alot of things, but being a liar isn't one of them.

Meanwhile, 3 dead in a non-protest of the US in Tunis.

He should never have made that movie. Thanks, Obama!

"Death to XYZ" is a very common Arabic protest phrase in the Middle East. They often say it too domestically to whatever they are protesting locally. It's a figurative way of saying "Down With XYZ" at an American protest. It doesn't translate well. Of course, its still a protest and that should be noted. But protests are (or should be) free speech anyway and not automatically make you crap your pants.

vernonFL: Just because other people are shiateheads doesn't make it right.

Notice how there arnt any more of those?

NOT FARK WITH DISNEY'S LAWYERS!!!

TappingTheVein: Of all the apologetic crap I've heard about violent arab protests, this one is now my favorite.

I'm sure it is, but you're an inveterate hardcore apartheid-style racist to begin with (that's why I have your username in deep red) who has never cared for facts about the Arabic language, Palestinians or associated cultures, so I don't particularly care to pander to your ignorance.

St_Francis_P: He should never have made that movie. Thanks, Obama!

You're actually hitting on the one piece of the puzzle no one's talking about. In all these authoritarian or formerly authoritarian (and in fact pretty much all continental Asian) countries films can only be made with official government permits, monitoring and censoring. So people can and do rightly make the assumption that films carry some sort of government stamp everywhere. That's why Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom wasn't filmed in India--Lucas and Spielberg tried but the government found the script racist and incendiary and refused to allow production. They are as ignorant of American media culture as Americans are of theirs, and so they assume that Obama gave this a seal of approval to be made and shown.

The movie has been out for a while. It's a real coincidence that the riots waited until near 9/11, and that some of the protesters were saying "we're Osama".

One of the zillion redlit links.

Arabic translation version was posted the 4th.

and there was a planned demonstration at the embassy for Sept 11th

Found it. I'd post it here, but I think that's frowned on. It's an article at the Chicago Tribune entitled, "Three dead as protesters attack U.S. embassy in Tunisia". Hope that gets you there.

"Namaste! We would like to film our movie in your country. May we have your permission?"


What is the movie?





How about "no"

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your party platform...

In Tunisia. Today. Perhaps you're not familiar with the concepts of time and space...

I guess you think the events are unrelated. That could be, but I think there's a pattern.
