Apparently so...

So, now, he can add four more deaths to his list. And these people call themselves "christians"....

I think this is where someone else now jumps in and says something like "He's not a REAL Christian...", isn't it?

Amazing how people that think they are Christians are somehow able to discern when other people who think THEY are "christians" are lying. Folks handling snakes, drinking poison, growing beards to a certain length, marrying multiple wives, etc... But somehow, someone out there knows which ones are the REAL "christians" and which ones aren't...


Although, it's now beginning to look like the attack was planned in advance..

UPDATE: U.S. officials have told The New York Times and CNN that the deadly consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya, which killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, may have been planned in advance.

According to the CNN report, "attackers used the protest outside the consulate as a diversion," though sources "could not say whether the attacker instigated the protest or merely took advantage of it."


Too bad Gov NumbNuts didn't wait to see what the facts were before taking something out of context, lying about it, and issuing a statement showing him to be the incompetent moron that he is....

The Bible cautions readers not to provoke their neighbors (or their enemies, or their sons).

This movie was a deliberate effort to provoke Muslims ---- which I'd consider anti-Christian.

I'm not sure that Jones financed the movie - but he did promote it.

In Judeo-Christian theology, the point of liberty is to free believers to serve their creator --- not to give them license to mock their enemies.

The Christian world view would condemn provocation just as much as it condemns retribution.

I agree but we do have freedom of speech. Unfortunately, you cannot pick and choose who gets that free speech. Then it is not free. The whole thing is tragic.

'"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insisted there was no excuse for the violence.

"Some have sought to justify this vicious behaviour as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet," Clinton said in her statement.

"The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others ... But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind." "

The attack on the Benghazi Embassy is now being called a staged commando-style assault, done in two waves, with RPG's and heavy machine-guns. It is likely they knew the strength of the security force in the embassy, and knew when the Ambassador would be there...

This was not "spontaneous", and while the YouTube videos of the movie probably was a good excuse for some wackos to have an outrage-of-the-day, this looks like a planned assault.

Sounds more like a smackdown of morons who burn Korans and sponsor anti-Islam movies for the sole purpose of inflaming tensions...

You're entitled to your own inflammatory talking points from the right-wing blogosphere....
