The official government-media complex excuse for unrest and embassy attacks in North Africa and West Asia is that an obscure film insulting the Muslims’ prophet caused all the violence and unrest.
That reasoning exempts drone strikes that led to unrest as well as free speech.

I’ve often said those who follow a rigid Islamic doctrine will never accept the concept of freedom of expression Westerners cherish. For instance, if I saw someone burn a holy Bible, I would be furious. But I would not attack the person; nor would I expect my government to prosecute the person.
As a Christian, I’ve become accustomed to all manner of ridicule and hate speech leveled at my faith, not just from a sector of the political class in the U.S. but also from large sectors of the general public in countries around the world.
The recent alleged burning of copies of the Koran in Afghanistan and the violence that followed demonstrate irreconcilable differences between Muslims in theocratic regimes and the West.

National Public Radio featured a story about a Muslim homeland security official who was fired after a photo showing him with members of the Council on American-Islamic Relations was featured in an anti-terrorism seminar.
The official in the photo, Omar Alomari, a 60-year-old Jordanian-American, served as a multicultural relations officer for the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 11:33AM A U.S. Muslim group is planning a demonstration featuring controversial British imams who are advocating for the implementation of Sharia law in the United States.
Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 11:07AM Michael Scheuer, former chief of Alec Station for the CIA, has written a new bio of the FBI’s number one most wanted fugitive. Osama bin Laden was penned by the man who was tracking Osama bin Laden from the early 1990s—the station, according to Lawrence Wright, was listed as “Terrorist Financial Links” on the organizational chart for the agency.
Scheuer comes off as a libertarian of sorts; his website is titled Non-Intervention. He blogs there and he is openly critical of those he calls “Israel First” types as well as US officials who have cartoonized bin Laden, rendering a super demon from the man who was a key player in the deaths of approximately 3,000 innocents on September 11, 2001, in New York and numerous more in other places.
Scheuer believes US foreign policy has more or less been manipulated by terrorists. After all, bin Laden wanted us to attack Afghanistan. Wright, in his excellent work The Looming Tower, explains: “Bin Laden wanted to lure the United States into Afghanistan, which was already being called the graveyard of empires. The usual object of terror is to draw one’s opponent into repressive blunders, and bin Laden caught America at a vulnerable and unfortunate moment in its history.” [pg. 272]
Friday, February 4, 2011 at 4:17PM The Muslim Brotherhood, originally referred as The Muslim Brothers, impacted the politics of various countries in the Middle East since the group’s founding in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna. Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower, said Banna’s goal was “turning Egypt into an Islamic state.” Wright credits the Brotherhood for “planting the seeds of the coming Islamic insurgence.” [pg. 16]
Banna was assassinated in 1949.
At the moment Democrat policy towards the civil unrest in Egypt can be described as Déjà vu.
Monday, November 22, 2010 at 2:45PM During the national debate over the wisdom of developers locating a mosque near Ground Zero, proponents of the mosque kept calling it a community center. I thought that was to soften the impact of the term ‘mosque’ when it was used in conjunction with a site attacked by Islamists who killed thousands of innocent civilians. But that was before I after read about a grant application and a White House executive order.
