By obsessing over the 14-minute YouTube Muhammad video and its maker, the mainstream media ultimately exonerates the inexcusable and murderous response of the Islamic world.
There is only one question: did those who make this movie break any law? No, they did not—and so the matter should end there, and the media should move on. Focusing on those who did not break any American laws as a way to take the focus off those who murdered and initiated an act of war against the United States is not only misleading; it validates and gives Islamic blasphemy laws precedence over American freedoms.
Worse, even if making movies deemed offensive to Muslims was illegal in the U.S., the fact is, these embassy attacks, which “coincidentally” began on September 11, have nothing to do with the movie. On September 10, I wrote an article titled “Jihadis Threaten to Burn U.S. Embassy in Cairo.” The demand that the U.S. release its imprisoned jihadis, including the Blind Sheikh, was behind these threats. There was no mention of “offensive movies.” My source, El Fagr, an Arabic website, reported all this on September 8.
In other words, several days before Muslims were angry about this movie they were threatening to burn down the U.S. embassy in Cairo. I had even seen sporadic Arabic reports, from months back, talking about “extremist elements” threatening the embassy. The movie is just a pretext—aided and abetted by the media, not to mention the Obama administration: Hillary Clinton called the video “disgusting and reprehensible,” wording which is more befitting those who murdered (and possibly raped) Americans; the U.S. embassy itself apologized for those who “hurt the religious feelings of Muslims”; and the administration asked YouTube to remove the 14 minute trailer.
Thus the U.S. administration validates Islam’s blasphemy laws and, once again, aligns itself with America’s jihadi enemies.
Seventy-year-old, retiring Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) put it well, when he suggested that the administration’s response to the embassy attacks was akin to a court asking a rape victim for an apology, saying: “It’s like the judge telling the woman who got raped, ‘You asked for it because of the way you dressed.’”
Nor is the rape entirely allegorical. According to the Arabic website Tayyar, “the American ambassador in Libya [Christopher Stevens] was sexually raped before being killed by the gunmen who stormed the embassy building in Benghazi last night [Tuesday, September 11], in protestation of a film insulting to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him.”
Sexual abuse and degradation is a common tactic used against non-Muslims, especially women, as the repeatedly raped Lara Logan found. For example, a report in Arabic media that just appeared discusses how Christian women—identified by wearing crosses around their necks or simply not wearing a hijab—are subject to sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and even threats of rape on the streets of Egypt. This has only “become much more blatant and terrifying [after the embassy attacks]—and has even reached the point of threats of genocide and purging the land of Egypt of infidel Christians,” writes one female Christian in Egypt.
Nor are men immune from such rapes. In fact, the photos of Ambassador Stevens—stripped of clothes, bloodied and tortured right before he was killed—very much resemble the photos of Gaddafi right before he was killed. One U.S.-supported “freedom-fighter,” for example, can be seen sodomizing Gadaffi with a rod as others dragged him along.
The al-Qaeda affiliated men who sexually abused and killed Gaddafi are the same men who sexually abused and killed America’s ambassador. We were told that the late Libyan dictator was killed because he was an evil oppressor of his people. Why was the American ambassador killed, who had hailed the revolution and was there helping to “build a better Libya”?
These are the questions the media and the Obama administration need to be answering—not obsessing over a second-rate YouTube video and questioning hard-won American freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment. They should be explaining why it is that, after four years of appeasing the Islamic world in ways unprecedented, including by helping oust America’s longstanding allies like Egypt’s Mubarak to empower Islamists, all we have to show for it are dead and violated Americans, stormed embassies, burned U.S. flags, and greater anti-American sentiment than ever before.

I AM an AMERICAN Citizen, Patriot, Veteran and Father.
These are the reason’s I share the information that
regards the safety and Security of my Republic!

These people are heathens….disgusting, vile heathens…
I made myself watch this as what I just felt is nothing to what Christopher Stephens suffered…..damn them to hell…..oh my God….
I am an Australian who supports the USA in it’s war against evil….Islam breeds evil….God help us
The owner of this website and it’s supporters are just lowering themselves to criminals’ and extremists’ level. None of these videos (and some are just pictures) prove or show anything. You could list as many or more murders/crimes in a US ticker. The Muslim/Middle East issue is a power keg the administration is trying desperately to keep a lid on, and they are taking the higer ground. Of COURSE they they are angry and upset about the Amb death and all the deaths, get real! This website and anti=Muslim extremists are just fueling the fire. WE need to just STOP it. Out of billions of Muslims, a small fraction are extremists, the Koran says nothing about killing over blasphemy, in fact, Mohammed said it was a sin. Christians have no better history in the murder dept. I am Christian, vet, and US patriot. Stop the hate, please!
First point: this web site isnt about appeasing, its about exposing the truth – you missed that.
second: it is clearly noted that this is about encroaching islamism, you missed that one too.
third: if you want to be an appeaser, goto your local mosque, they are always looking for useful idiots with no balls to work for them
fourth: turning the other cheek ot taking higher ground has never worked – just ask the 270 million killed in jihad wars, another lesson your missed, clearly.
fifth: fuelling the fire: thats no different to blaming a rape victim for what she was wearing- i m glad you have clarified your stance on that. sure youre not a muslim?
sixth: anti muslim extremists lolol – if that means staying alive, then so be it.
Seventh: you need to read a real koran, not your donald duck version – the koran is full of hate speech and violence. best you educate the muslims on their own book. you are clearly a better scholar than yusuf ali and bukhari.
FINAL: truth is only hate for those thast hate truth. now bend over, islam awaits you, dhimmi !
btw dhimmi – your comment was screen capped and posted to fb so we can all laugh at how much of an idiot you are
when will america start to defend the values on which it is founded? will the american people allow their government to continue to just ko-tau to the toxic mixture of fashistoid megalomania and primitive bigottery that is islam?!?
So, you’re about the truth. Where’s the evidence that the Ambassador was raped? The video shows nothing of the sort. So many false claims surrounding this episode. It was claimed that the Ambassador was shot. But he died of smoke inhalation and had no wounds.
AFP says they were falsely quoted and there is no truth to the claim that they reported the Ambassador was raped.
1/ Their is no claim that the video contains such evidence.
2/ Little research would reveal, the title of the article is the same title used by the author of the article.
3/ So far as misinformation is concerned, start with the U.S President – the greatest fraud in U.S history. Or would that be the idiots that voted for him ? TWICE !
4/ As you are the only person with the facts, feel free to post them on your own website.
