The film that's caused anti-American sentiment to flare-up into violence in Egypt and Libya, depicts Mohammed as gay and a child molester. Pastor Terry Jones, who you might remember for recently burning the Koran, has been promoting and celebrating the film and shared the trailer online on Tuesday, 9/11, a day he calls "International Judge Mohammed Day."
The resulting backlash in the Middle East left four, including Ambassador Stevens, dead.
President Obama was quick to release a statement:
I strongly condemn the outrageous attack
on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four
Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American
people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers.
They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and
partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark
contrast to those who callously took their lives.
I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.
The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.
"We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act," said President Barack Obama. "And make no mistake, justice will be done."
Personally, I think a good place to start Mr. President is with the one responsible for using religious terrorism to openly/knowingly incite a violent, confrontational reaction from another religion, thus causing the death of other American citizens.
Hold Mr. Terry Jones accountable for his actions!

What ever happened to freedom of expression. As I write this I look at an essay critical of the Navy for discharging a man for doing Gay porn, the premise being that he should be free to express himself. and yet if someone you don't like is critical of the prophet he is someone wrong. You are truly a clueless twit.
Actually, the article on the Navy did no such thing, just merely reporting what was going on.
Might I add however, you obviously hate Muslims and should shut the fuck up and go somewhere else you loathsome piece of human filth.
