Only months after Americans were hailed as heros in Libya for helping the people overthrow Gaddafi, muslim extremists have raided the embassy and killed the US Ambassador and three US workers. The reason for the violence in Libya and Egypt – a movie on YouTube by a young man from Florida, Sam Bacile. Bacile depicted Mohammed as a womanizer and pedophile.

What has now emerged, is whilst American citizens are under attack, the US embassy in Cairo issued a statement of apology to the attackers, instead of condemning the violence. The White House quickly retracted the statement. Under international law an American Embassy is like US soil in that nation, and an attack on an embassy is normally regarded as an act of war.

Whilst US money and military expertise helped overthrow the Libyan and Egyptian dictators, Muslims still view America as the “Great Satan”.

In 2010 a Danish cartoonist who depicted Mohammed was murdered. The cartoons he created led to violence and attacks throughout Islamic nations against westerners.
