Sam Bacile Anti-Islam Video Called "Disgusting" By Hillary Clinton

by at .

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is sharpening her criticism of an anti-Islam video by Sam Bacile that provoked protests in the Arab world.

Clinton says the YouTube film, titled Muhammad, is "disgusting and reprehensible" and termed it a cynical attempt to offend people for religious beliefs.

Hillary noted, however, that the U.S. would never stop Americans from expressing their views, no matter how distasteful, as they are central to freedom.

Sam Bacile, who reports say is an Israeli-American real estate developer, posted the trailer this summer. Little is known about the man; he's gone into hiding.

She also says the film is no justification for violence or attacks on diplomatic facilities and personnel; a U.S. ambassador was killed in Libya Tuesday.

Clinton said Thursday the U.S. is monitoring protests in Yemen and elsewhere, urging countries to take steps to prevent protests escalating into violence.

    This has to stop; I thought Islam was a religion of peace, but what I've witnessed negates that. I don't understand the overwheming desire to destroy and condemn America for the faults of one man. We Christians receive jokes and harsh words about Jesus Christ, but no one goes on rampant violent killing sprees. Listen up rebellious Muslims, America is sick of supporting your countries only to get our people killed and lives ruined by your jihads. Don't under-estimate the fortitude of Americans; we kicked the British asses in 1776.......you guys want to be next? I'm sick of this shit.

    I respect free speech, but this is too much that she should be trialed.

    We have reached a point where distasteful and shameful acts are justified by the freedom of speech. Wouldn't Jews and Christians feel offended and insulted if the situation was the other way around; something to think about. A fact that is worth noticing, the media "IN GENERAL" will always give you information that isn't true, you have to seek truth yourself by looking for it in the right places from reliable sources. As for what happened in in Libya and Egypt, didn't you see that coming? I mean, you have insulted 1.5 billion Muslims. Something like this will happen because what has been done can not be justified. Those are the consequences. Lastly, I hope we can all compromise one day and become tolerant.
