Egyptian Protesters Scale US Embassy Walls, Tear Down US Flag

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Three months ago, the Muslim Bortherhood supported, US-endorsed and recommended candidate, Mohammed Mursi won the Egyptian presidential election. Fast forward to today, when we learn from Al Jazeera that the grateful Egyptian population has decided to conduct a little Arab Spring repeat rehearsal in the fall, as Egyptian protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and some pulled down the American flag during a protest over what they said was a film being produced in the United States that was insulting to the Prophet Mohammad, witnesses said.

From Al Jazeera:

“At least four of them climbed over the embassy walls and tore down the American flag,” a witness said, adding that the demonstrators were angered by a film produced by expatriate members of Egypt’s Christian minority resident in the United States.

 

In place of the U.S. flag, the protesters tried to raise a black flag with the words “There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger,” a Reuters reporter said.

 

Amil Ameen, a Coptic political commentator, told Al Arabiya that “there is a plot to divide Egypt,” and that the production of such anti-Islam film “hurt Coptic Egyptians before their Muslims brothers.”

 

About 20 people stood on top of the outer wall of the embassy in central Cairo, where about 2,000 protesters had gathered.

 

Al Arabiya correspondent said that no one was injured as embassy guards fired into the air to disperse the protesters

Luckily, there is nothing to fear here, or anywhere else for that matter: nothing can go wrong anywhere, ever again. The central planners have it all under control.

As for the Keynesian spin, that torn flag will contribute at least 0.0000001% in 2012 GDP as a replacement will surely have to be flown out (assuming one is made in the US and not in China of course).

They aren't any different from any other people who've adopted herd mentality (which is most of them). The only difference is the lies the group holds as "convetional wisdom."

The target of your disdain should be collectivism. Yet all you know to do is to choose one collective that you believe superior to the others, belittling the rest.

Meanwhile, your collective is the bunch of "fucking animals" they're protesting against, for the inhumane treatment your collective administers.

I'd say that only an "animal" can stoop so low as to dehumanize a population to the point where IT can call for the mass extermination of innocents.

Why is it that everyone who engages in this shit fails to see that it only applies to them?

Individuals like you are an insult to the human race. If you cannot fail to see the humanity in others, you'll never experience it yourself.

Real Muslims kill gays for being gay, women for adultery, infidels for blasphemy and Muslim who dare to convert for apostasy.

They will kill you for insulting or calling their prophet Muhammad a child molester whom married a 9 y/o girl. They dehumanize themselves. Islam is an insult to the human race.

Btw, Sufi and Alevi are not real Muslims. They reject sharia.

Islamists are challenging the once great U.S.A. on 911, attacking our embassies. Where is Obama hiding?

I have a friend over in Cairo. His reports are the place is seriously going to hell. Not only is it a police state, but it is morphing into an Islamic police state. He is confined to his compound outside of work as it is too dangerous to go out onto the streets: there is violence, gunshots and fighting all night in the city.

What are you trying to say about anti-semites? Your use of commas I find confusing and, as ol' Professor Larouche would say, VBE. 

Why don't you go to the University and find out what the acronym VBE means?

Muslims are so pathetic and dumb. The weakness of their shitball Allah Mohamad violence makes them a pathetic tool. If they think that Israel is not able to use Islam as a puppet as a result, you may be a Muppet. All this idiot religion does is make it easy to slaughter people like Christ. Storming an American Embassy on 911 2012, when Israel is about to take down Iran, only put's the Gay Pride of Rosemary's Baby in political position to enter the theatre and not object when Egypt get's hit, like Syria and Iran, when that time comes in the coming weeks. LMAO, all the Israelis need to do to vaporize the enemy that want's to destroy them is shit on a Koran and the weakness of Islam will shine like a laser on a Lybian in Spring Time.

 You must be talking about this guy and his book. http://www.prophecyinthenews.com/daily-update-september-3-2012-saudi-occupation/

...it's as if there is a counterintelligence, of occult nature, that inspired the weakness of dipshits; prone to violence through the pathetic call of Islam and the Jewish mark of the Jerusalem Temple beast, through the violent offer(s) of temptation. LMAO. Oh, but, there are no symbols, like the pyramid on the Dollar Bill, that would indicate anything like that. Blaa haaa haa. I mean come on, like the Dice Man, ''use yer head'', blick. Everytime some assholes react to a book burning by another asshole and they murder humans, the key to the bottomless pit is turned open and the gate of the black hole is open for more human slaughter. The people in the Middle East are getting played, just like Europe and the United States people have been captured by the Suicide Vampire Squids mark to myth beast, through the same spirit of temptation and the short term gain of corruption, and this will engulf the entire world with the cause for Great Trubulation, which will begin when the false peace is sealed. The Muslim morons are never going to stop being played and the Jews will continue to try to get the false peace of Jerusalem established through the slaughter of humans, all the way to the sea.

We are all about to see this pathetic violent weakness play out the prophetic Jerusalem script before 2013 ends. By the time 2015 rolls around, the nations will be at war, such as never before. Watch...  

This U.N. thing that Rosemary's Baby just did to Bibi Gun is all about pandering to the whole Arab Spring thing, just like the Nobel Prize for nuclear nonproLIEration is about not reacting to an Iran scapegoat WMD event going off in NYC by reacting in kind is. It provides the false Messiah mercy affect that people shall fall for, and the call to seal the prophetic false Jerusalem peace deal will be on the table as a result. That's called the Cremation of Care, Bohemian Grove Moloch sacrifice counterinteligemce claim of dominion. People will fall for this hook line and sinker. Their pride demands it, their weakness demands it and their fear demands it, but their ignorance assures it.

Jerusalem and Israel are equal with the reaction of a burning Koran, it means the weak bastards of these two brothers will try to kill themselves and everyone will be in the crossfire as a result, from Russia to China, to America and Europe and everyone in between.

There's a few ways to look at this, factually.

The Middle East is hot as hell even at this time of year, so its people are boiled alive, and their minds are too. Therefore, no rational thinking is possible.

The Middle East and some other places are dominated by fascist supremacist Islam whose own 'prophet' was a warmongering paedophile whose supplicants demand blind obedience likewise. This is the only major religion that has not amended its teaching since inception.

There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights that compels us to save foreigners from their own ways. Self-determination was a tenet of post WWI, the war to end all wars, so it was said.

Now, the West is mired in unending war by bankster backed politicos who never see the death and destruction they make. It's the Socialist Internationale, innit.

Stop it.

 

See this as the latest example of hateful Islam intimidating the West:

The Christian Copts are suffering immensely at the hand of Muslims. Crucifixions of Christian Copts are being reported. Christian girls are being abducted and forced to marry a Muslim man and convert to Islam. Churches are being burned. When will America say ENOUGH!, stop giving money to Egypt, and start helping the Christian Copts? When? How many have to die? When Muslims are killings Christians by the thousands? Millions? When? At what point do I turn against the West for watching and supporting such evil? I wonder, are you in the West just as evil as the Muslims?
