Egyptian protesters wearing Guy Fawkes masks pose for a photo during a protest in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012. (AP Photo/Nasser Nasser)

Egyptian rioters yesterday were photographed wearing Guy Fawkes masks next to photo graffiti on a wall of the U.S. embassy during a protest in Cairo, Egypt

The rioters climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy in Cairo and tore up the American Flag, replacing it with a black al Qaeda flag.

Hmmmmm......I'm pretty sure the wearing of masks carved into the likeness of someone goes against Islam fundamentalist prohibition against "making a graven image". So why would devote Muslims violate Islam in an effort to protest against attacks on Islam? What's next? "Muslim" terrorists using Koran's to set the embassy on fire?

One of them also has a GASP guitar on his shirt.

One of them (far right) is also wearing some kind of badge like we saw the delegates wearing at the DNC and RNC...I can't make out the picture on it though. Anyone else?

The guy to the left of him has the same pass under his scarf. Is this an invitation only riot? Hmmm.....

How the hell did he get that? Seems very odd, and if not legit odd that one would fake one?

If we could blow up the photo and see what's on that pass on the right? Nah, that's only in TV investigation shows. Maybe it's a student pass.

or worse.

I am wondering who gave them the masks,, and suggested the photo shoot.
I know that there are some who would be aware of the masks, but how common are they in Egypt?

I'm using a free program called Paint.net...if someone has Photoshop and good skills using it, it could probably do a better job than this!

WTH? Yeah, those guys look like they're in full riot mode, not. What a joke, people will believe anything.

Now you two on the ends lean in, everybody say cheese!

This hoax is aimed directly at western protesters.

Is Egypt's flag red, white & blue like the top of that pass?

Especially when the image is that of a catholic guy from England.

I dunno, that might be a bridge too far even for the zombies who believe everything they see on the nightly news.

Photo could be of Mursi, Egypt's new president.

I certainly hope so. Though sometimes you really have to wonder ...

Found a story from July 11, 2012 which also shows a guy in a Fawkes mask at Tahir square. Maybe there are some masks over there?

Good call. Was just about to post this but I checked this page and you beat me to it. It seems relatively easy to mistake a grainy, blown-up, pixeled picture of Morsi for Scheuer though.
