Protests against film spread in Mideast; 1 killed. Also, they burned a KFC!

CAIRO (AP) — Angry demonstrations against an anti-Islam film spread to their widest extent yet around the Middle East and other Muslim countries Friday. Protesters smashed into the German Embassy in the Sudanese capital and set part of it on fire and climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Tunis, waving an Islamist banner.

One protester was killed in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli in clashes with security forces, after a crowd of protesters set fire to a KFC and an Arby's restaurant. Protesters hurled stones and glass at police in a furious melee that left 25 people wounded, 18 of them police.

Protests were held in cities from Tunisia to Pakistan after weekly Friday Muslim prayers, where many clerics in their mosque sermons called on congregations to defend their faith, denouncing obscure movie produced in the United States that denigrated the Prophet Muhammad.

The numbers were not huge — in most places, only a few hundred took to the streets, mostly ultraconservative Islamists — but the mood was often furious. The spread of protests comes after attacks earlier this week on the U.S. Embassies in Cairo and the Yemeni capital Sanaa and on a U.S. consulate in Libya, where the ambassador and three other Americans were killed.

I really don't think these riots were set off by a film. I think the film excuse is the establishment's smoke and mirrors to avoid us looking for the real reason for the riots.

That said, "WHAT, they burned a KFC!!!!" Heresy! KFC is the BEST fast food place EVARR!

Does anyone know what video those animals are supposedly raging about?

Probably the video showing the ass raping of their Great leader Gaddafi by NATO/American hired mercenaries. Internet news is slow these days after the so called liberation of Libya.

What did KFC do ???

Symbol of American corporation. Just a word of warning, if you ever find yourself in the middle of a riot in a country that hates the US govt, better remove anything that will give you away as an America. Drop the ipod, fav. American sports team baseball cap, etc etc and blend in. There is no reasoning with an angry mob

There are a lot of stories, news from all over the MidEast.
They are generally and universally pissed at the US.

And they are not "animals". They are Humans.

They burned a KFC? BOMB THEM!

If a piece of crap movie like that really got so many people pissed off, they have no sense of humor. That thing might as well have been directed by Ed Wood, written by Rain Man, and cast by Helen Keller.

From the people who brought you such advancements as Algebra. Something tells me though that they wouldn't be as outraged about these things if the US Government and NATO weren't constantly bombing their countries, and enslaving them under puppet dictators. Just a hunch.
