Breaking news about US Government buildings being attacked in Libya and Egypt!

[MineralMan]

1. The Rachel Maddow Show?

Please spell things out. I had to Google that to figure out what you were talking about.

[MineralMan]

2. Are you sure? There's no other breaking news about this.

6. Thanks. I found info on Google News.

The OP didn't bother to spell anything out. So I went and looked. There are a number of stories.

[anneboleyn]

19. Yes, on CNN now

3. Another Terry Jones production.

Someone should be monitoring this guy. He seems to stir up a lot of trouble.

7. Just send the dumbass over to Libya

and let him do the 'splaining to the muslims he offended.

[MineralMan]

5. OK, there is a problem.

Google News for Libya Egypt. Apparently protestors are storming consulates and other US interests over some movie about Mohammed produced in the US. It doesn't show a good image of the Prophet. There are a number of news stories generated by that search.

Apparently Rachel Maddow is talking about it on her show.

And there it is.

9. Produced by Terry Jones.

He seems to specialize in propaganda aimed at riling up the muslim world against America.

If he's not on the payroll of the neocons...then he's underselling himself.

13. I saw his 4-hour documentary about the Crusades...........

At the very beginning, Terry Jones tells you that the event was being related from the point of view of the Muslims.

He also did a documentary about the invasion of eastern Europe by Attila/Atilla the Hun, told from the point of view of the Huns.

I like the way that he reminds us that the account or re-telling of any given skirmish or war always has at least two points of view and the truth of what really happened lies somewhere in the middle.

16. That might be a different Terry Jones...

I think you're talking about the British Terry Jones, formerly of Monty Python.

This Terry Jones is the Koran-burning pastor.

[TheDebbieDee]

21. Nevermind...........

[scarletwoman]

17. I think you're referring to a different Terry Jones.

The guy that did this Mohammed movie is the Muslim-hating fundy preacher from Florida who threatened to burn a Koran a year ago or so.

There's a different Terry Jones, British guy who was part of Monty Python, who was probably the one who did the documentaries you're talking about. He's a good guy.

This other Terry Jones is a flaming bigoted asshole and shit-stirring publicity hound.

Do not confuse the two!

[TheDebbieDee]

22. Nevermind............

8. The news of it has been on the front page of DU for a couple of hours. n/t

[npk]

10. So are buildings being attacked

or is just protesters.

[Brigid]

11. It's more than just protesters.

12. State can't confirm

But one US official, via AP, through the Lybian government, is dead.

And the building burned.

[TheDebbieDee]

15. Sqawk "Calling Hillary Clinton! Secretary Clinton! Clean up - North Africa!" Sqawk

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Just went over the IPad msnbc app, state confirms the dead

I need to go get link now

[CJCRANE]

14. There must be some way to counter the actions of Terry Jones.

He seems to deliberately stir up a lot of mayhem. I know he has freedom of speech but there must be some way to discredit him or his ideas to counteract the effect they have on geopolitics.

18. It's an ideotic war between

opposite ends of religious fundamentalism. Neither end will ever give up the dogma that the deity is on their side. It's a nut war.
