All over the world hundreds of thousands of people are gathering to protest against the U.S...... This is all over some stupid movie??? What the hell is going on here?....

Pakistan, Karachi-

Pakistani Muslims shout anti-U.S. slogans during a protest against an anti-Islam movie in Karachi on Wednesday. The Pakistan government has declared Friday a national holiday in honor of the Prophet Mohammed and called for peaceful protests against the film.

Malayasia-

Malaysian Muslim demonstrators march toward the U.S. Embassy after a Friday mass prayer in Kuala Lumpur.

Pakistan, Lahore-

Pakistani activists of the hard line Sunni party Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) offer prayers near the U.S. Consulate on Wednesday in Lahore.

Indonesia-

Members of Justice and Prosperous Party attend a protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Wednesday.

There HAS to be something else going on that our media isn't telling us...

Lahore is in Pakistan.

They probably protest us all the time. It's just at the forefront because of the elections.

That's the thing, no one in the United States knew about this movie...How did it become such a big deal to them thinking everyone in the U.S. was watching it and making fun of their prophet?

I figured this was coming because of all of that uproar about the movie.

So many countries hate America.. but yet America is always willing to "come to the rescue" (I use that phrase loosely) for other countries. I think we need to keep our nose on our own face for a while. =/

Where did this come from though?

I had to look it up because I'm truly not informed on this whole situation.

I think blaming it on a movie is a copout.

You don't see Christians getting their knickers in a twist over zombie Jesus day and other mockings.

I.would be afraid if I were an American. Hell I'm in England and I'm worried considering we are like your twin sister. LOL
