US Bases In Afghanistan And Pakistan Hit With Anti-American Protests

US Bases In Afghanistan and Pakistan Hit With Violent ANti American Protests

Despite the fact that most Afghans are unable to see the offensive movie about Islam some are blaming for the outbreak of violence in the Middle East, protests have been launched against U.S. bases and offices in Afghanistan. The Associated Press reports:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Hundreds of Afghans burned cars and threw rocks at a U.S. military base as a demonstration against an anti-Islam film that ridicules the Prophet Muhammad turned violent in the Afghan capital early Monday. And in Jakarta, Indonesians angered over the film clashed with police outside the U.S. Embassy, hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails and burning tires outside the mission. At least one police officer was seen bleeding from the head and being carried to safety by fellow officers.

The full AP report on the Kabul violence from Amir Shah and Rahim Fairz is available HERE.

In Pakistan, Hezbollah leaders are revving up the violence against the U.S. More from the Associated Press:

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of Pakistanis protesting an anti-Islam film broke through a barricade near the U.S. Consulate in the southern city of Karachi on Sunday, sparking clashes with police in which one demonstrator was killed and more than a dozen injured.

In a move that could escalate tensions around the Arab world, the leader of the Hezbollah militant group called for protests against the movie, saying protesters should not only ‘express our anger’ at U.S. embassies but urge leaders to act.

The film, which denigrates Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, has sparked violent protests in many Muslim countries in recent days, including one in Libya in which the U.S. ambassador was killed. The U.S. has responded by deploying additional military forces to increase security in certain hotspots.

In a televised speech, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said the U.S. must be held accountable for the film, which was produced in the United States. The U.S. government has condemned the film.

“The ones who should be held accountable and boycotted are those who support and protect the producers, namely the U.S. administration,” Nasrallah said. He called for protests on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

He urged protesters to call on their leaders to express their anger too.

“We should not only express our anger at an American embassy here or there. We should tell our rulers in the Arab and Muslim world that it is ‘your responsibility in the first place’ and since you officially represent the governments and states of the Muslim world you should impose on the United States, Europe and the whole world that our prophet, our Quran and our holy places and honor of our Prophet be respected,” he told his followers in a televised speech.

Nasrallah said he waited to speak out about the film until Sunday, when Pope Benedict XVI ended his three-day trip to Lebanon.

In Pakistan, police fired tear gas and water cannons at the protesters in Karachi after they broke through the barricade and reached the outer wall of the U.S. Consulate, police officer Mohammad Ranjha said. The protesters threw stones and bricks, prompting the police to beat back the crowd with their batons. The police and private security guards outside the consulate also fired in the air to disperse the crowd.

One protester was killed during the clash, said Ali Ahmar, spokesman for the Shiite Muslim group that organized the rally.

An official with the main ambulance service in the city, Khurram Ahmad, confirmed they carried away one dead protester and 18 others who were injured.

All Americans who work at the consulate, which is located in the heart of Karachi, were safe, Rian Harris, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, said.

Thousands more held peaceful demonstrations against the film in other parts of the country, including the eastern city of Lahore and the northwest city of Dera Ismail Khan.

The demonstration in Lahore was organized by Jamaat-ud-Dawa, believed to be a front organization for a powerful militant group blamed for attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008 that killed over 160 people. The protesters shouted anti-U.S. slogans and burned an American flag.

“Our war will continue until America is destroyed!” shouted some of the protesters. “Dog, dog, America is a dog!” chanted others.

“The film, which denigrates Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, has sparked violent protests in many Muslim countries in recent days, including one in Libya in which the U.S. ambassador was killed..”

The big lie continues. Forget 9/11. Everything is our fault and we sincerely apologize.

the caliphte is forming right before your eyes, and yet you do not see. the muslim countries touched by obama are the ones on fire. he set up the caliphate for them. appeasement. the big push is coming. they will take their caliphate, destroy Israel, then come for us. perhaps, all at once. beware of the muslims here. never forget…convert or die.

  When we elect Romney he needs to bring all of our troops home and let them rest up so we can gear up for the defense of our own country we are going to need it. Drill our own massive supply of oil and put the middle east out of business. This is all just so nuts man our military is dying for people that don’t want freedom. God save us all.

Personally I have not seen the movie which is getting blamed for this, but let me make this one point. In these Arab countries, if you say the wrong thing…you get killed.

In America, we believe that you are allowed to say idiotic things, even if you are wrong. You have a right to Freedom of Speech. As Americans we have a choice in this situation….we can back down, arrest the maker of the movie, and apologize to the Arab countries…..OR…..we can stand behind these rights, we can take no opinion one way or another of their correctness, but defend their right to say them. If we back down now…forget free speech….it will be OVER!

How many of you have listened to Barry’s interview where he says the Muslim tensions toward America will ‘ease when I am inaugurated…’? If you believe anything this educated nitwit has to say, you need your head examined. Charisma does NOT equal SMART OR CAPABLE!!

Okay two options:

1. The Muslims were not reacting to the movie, but using it as a cover for the Muslim Harvest of Hate from the Seeds of their Arab spring, which means that the Obama’s administration foreign policy failed since he was the cheerleader for the Arab Spring.

OR

2. The Muslims were reacting to the movie, and they see us as so weak due to the Obama apology tour. This means that they were empowered to attack a weakened USA which means that Obama foreign policy created a brittle diabetic’s peace so fragile that a lousy movie can put the region in flames. Thus, Obama foreign policy failed.

Wow. It took a long time for the Afgans to hear about the video. A little slow in their communications with the Obama administration. Most of those people do not even have electricity much less computers.

Easy answer get our people out of that region,pull all federal unconstitutional tax payer aid from the entire area,drill,liquify coal,and build better alternative energy systems here in the U.S. Put special tarriffs on all energy sources imported into our country including mexico and canada. Basicly make our energy policys one of self substinance.

Those people didn’t even know the film existed, until the Gaybama administration started using it as an excuse for Gaybama’s friends’ riotous behavior!

We ought to be kicking his arse out of the WH NOW!!

Over fifty American soldiers have been murdered this year by trainees, as this administration has mentally disarmed and disengaged before the current wave of jihadists, in order to achieve political goals.

Speaking of Muslim and Anti- American. I was surfing on the tv last night and
‘starz on demand’ had a ‘new release movie’ ,that just came out .I‘m not entirely
sure what to make ,why this garbage is even being aired. I skimmed through this
show to see what they were pedaling .and I found the substance some what disturbing .

I felt like I was watching a propaganda/indoctrination cartoon-flick .and what I determined
about this show was :
2007 directed by Victor Parraonaud ,French, Animated and Subtitled in English ,
anti-capitalist ,Anti- American, ‘Evil America’,Pro – communism Pro-moderate muslim.
There was at different times to real quick references to :Che , Stalin ,Mao.

The name of this movie was “PERSEPOLIS”.

Why is this being showed .? This clearly has motive behind it.
Just maybe we should start to protest too.

  wouldn’t it be nice to fly a banner over all Islamic countries depicting Mohammed’s head on a pig….Stir up the rats and call in pest removal to end the problem. Eventually, through attrition they would learn the proper way to express their outrage.

  You will soon have your chance to open fire on our US Open Borders – Thank you Obama. Get ready. Soros has taken down 9 Country. Everyone one fail in an election year. You can claim a movie, Bush or a hang nail; none the less, it is coming to America and Emperor Obama and his lap dog media are the only ones that can fix it. And all the useful idiots say Yes!

What did Jay Carney say? “This is not anti American protesters.” Bull! It may have been triggered by a anti-Muslim video but it has grown.

  Stop Drinking the tea – it was not caused by a stupid video or movie. This has been by design just like the Occupied Wall Street. Next will be Muslim attacks in America coming soon. If American’s believes that a Movie caused this, then the solution will be easy for Emperor Obama, just get rid of the Constitution.

This has NOTHING to do with that movie (which is only a preview on youtube) … if it weren’t that they would have another excuse. This has been building up for the 4 years of the Obama regime … you show weakness and bow down to terrorists and this is what you reap. Pray for our military. Pray for new leadership … PRAY FOR AMERICA.

  In the case of these protests and soon to be full scale battles; look to the Haqqani network of the Taliban for their source, supported and coordinated with Iran and Al’Quedas various groups.
  
  According to Voice to America podcast, one of the recent attacks was an effort to take Prince Harry prisoner or execute him; I am expecting before much longer the protests will turn into a full scale Tet Offensive within the cities and areas of the country not locked down by the pending winter months.
  
  No thanks to the failures of Obama our enemies are emboldened; and he still refuses to take any bit of responsibility for his failures.

  Awww but there is the rub … Obama didn’t grow up in America (his formative years were in Muslim countries) .. while we were watching John Wayne and Clint Eastwood … he was being influenced by the other side.
