Anti-US protests spread across the world – in picturesOutrage at the anti-Islamic film purportedly produced by a Coptic Christian in California spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa on Friday, with US embassies in Egypt and Yemen coming under assault. In Sudan, protesters stormed the British and German embassies, and in Jerusalem Israeli police fought with Palestinian protesters. The film's YouTube trailer has sparked days of violence in the Middle East and beyond www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2012/sep/14/anti-us-protests-spread-pictures

It Wasn’t Just a MovieSubmitted by Aurangzeb on September 14, 2012 – 9:00 am by Peter Van Buren It was less than a year ago that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was videotaped gleefully laughing at the brutal death of then-Libyan leader Gaddafi. “ We came, we saw, he died!” giggled the Secretary of State like a drunk school girl on the sidelines of a national television interview. It was, in large part, the military intervention of the US that brought about Gaddafi’s death and the “liberation” of Libya. Gaddafi was evil. He had people tortured and had opponents killed. He was a dictator. The common wisdom on the Internet, and inside the State Department, is that while “unfortunate,” a guy like Gaddafi had it coming. The same logic applied to the US’ gunning down of bin Laden and our drone killings of any number of terrorist celebs, including several American citizens in Yemen. With the tragic news that US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and several other Americans were killed in an attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, one wonders if Hillary is still laughing. It appears that the Ambassador was in Benghazi for the ribbon-cutting for an “American Corner.” An American Corner is, in State’s own words, a “friendly, accessible space, open to the public, which provides current and reliable information about the United States through bilingual book and magazine collections, films and documentaries, poster exhibitions, and guides for research on the United States.” Ironic of course that Ambassador Stevens and his people died in what was nothing more than a propaganda gesture, a Corner that says happy things about America so that Libyans will love us. As if books and magazine could erase a policy of violence and killing by the US across the Middle East. I mean no disrespect to the dead, and mourn with their loved ones. A few years ago it was my family stationed abroad at an American Consulate, so I know too well the tight feeling in my gut wondering what will happen, will someone die today simply because of where they work. Making light over the death of anyone is disgraceful. America’s actions abroad, particularly when we kill people because we do not like what they say or do, have consequences that are long and often tragic. Secondary, tertiary effects. I hate killing. I am not justifying any killing nor am I gleeful over Ambassador Stevens and his colleagues’ deaths. I am instead offended by US leaders who find happiness in the death of others for political reasons, and then seem shocked and surprised when it is visited on our own. Drone strikes call forth retaliatory terror acts. Terror acts beget more drone strikes. Eye for an eye. Live by the sword. It is not about a movie. The anti-Islam movie was just today’s trigger in Libya, was just the most recent spark to a smoldering flame. Behind the easy, casual “oh, it was our free speech that angered them” we seem to forget what filmmaker James Spione knows, that the invasions of multiple Muslim countries, the killing and wounding of hundreds of thousands of civilians to “free them,” the displacement of millions more as refugees, the escalating drone attacks, the torture and rendition, Guantanamo itself as a symbol of all that is wrong with our policies, the propping up of corrupt regimes in Bahrain, Saudi and until we changed political directions, Libya and Syria, the relentless horrific violence unleashed year after year after year by America’s military. Let’s at least be honest about the miasma of hatred we’ve created that is the true context for this horrible incident. Indeed, the US rendered human beings into Qaddafi’s Libya for torture just a few years ago. Some of those who were rendered and tortured under US sponsorship now hold key leadership and political positions in the Libyan government. It wasn’t just a movie. America needs a policy in the Middle East that is not based on killing if we ever want the killing to stop. Source: Huffington Post

Blasphemous Film and US Warships
Submitted by Aurangzeb on September 13, 2012 – 9:54 pm
PKKH Editorial
“Islam is a cancer,” an unrepentant Sam Bacile, the offensive filmmaker, told American news media. Bacile, 56, who is based in Los Angeles, defended his blasphemous film, ‘The Innocence of Muslims” and has gone in hiding, in fear of world-wide protest anticipated of angry Muslims.
Hilary Clinton, in her dire pose, regretted the loss of 4 Americans who were killed in a protest by a Muslim group against the blasphemous film, just released with Arabic translation a week ago. In going into lengths as to how America is, in all its nobility, ‘the force for peace and progress in the world’ and how it has made the Libyan revolution possible, she went into a deep mode of contemplation saying:
“How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction?”
Altogether disregarding the matter of blasphemy as not a considerable reason at all for Muslims to be angry, she went on saying:
“This is an attack that should shock the conscience of people of all faiths around the world… We condemn in the strongest terms this senseless act of violence… This was an attack by a small and savage group… But let me be clear – there is no justification for this, none. Violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith.”
Warning the world of a soon-coming terror, she jotted out that ‘There is no higher priority than protecting our men and women wherever they serve. We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault…’
Today, the next morning we are hearing news like ‘the Pentagon is sending warships to Libya following death of ambassador killed in ‘coordinated al Qaeda revenge attack by terrorists who used Libyan Mohammed movie protest as cover’ and that, ‘US unmanned surveillance drones are expected to begin flying over Benghazi and other locations in eastern Libya to look for jihadi encampments and targets that may be tied to the attack on U.S. State Department personnel.’ News say that ‘Attackers could have been staging revenge attack for death of al Qaeda official in June’ and that ‘Officials noted the staged attack came on 11th anniversary of 9/11’
We understand Hilary’s stance quite clearly as Muslim citizens of a Muslim country; on the one hand rejecting Islam as a veritable faith, disregarding the reverence of more than a billion souls living on this earth as non-sense and identifying Islam only and always with a group of un-detectable, present everywhere and never-to-be-found ghostly creature called al-Qaeda.
And on the other hand, after feeding the world with such a conspiracy theory, not wasting a day to attack and bewilder the peace and livelihood of a whole nation, afresh. Because al-Qaeda is such a mythical creature, like a liquid that soaks in everything and like a gas that evaporates instantly; something you know that is always there but disappears the moment you open your eyes; they tend to mold world-wide perception into the view that warships, drones and all the war-craft of the noble US peace-seeking force are the right instrument to seek out such a phantom like the al-Qaeda, by plucking out every brick in the walls of a country. No wonder the Muslims are accused of spreading Islam by the sword and the US is not for making peace with death-warrants for millions every time.
‘The world will not be the same’, again!; if the loss of the 3000 of the twin-towers was honoured by world-wide human sacrifice of over 10 million in 10 years, how should the loss of these 4 Americans be honoured, make a guess! Yes a nation has the right to honour its men with the highest honour, and while weak nations are always advised to revert to peaceful protests, the strongest will not shy down from committing the most disgraceful acts and declaring them noble.
And the weak ones, the Muslims are expected to timidly bury in the curtain of cowardice, they are attacked with spite and battered down for being radicle. PKKH gives the message to our enduring nation, that the radicle is the most valuable element of our substance; if we radicalize in the love of our Deen, which we believe to be the true answer for the suffering humanity; if we radicalize for the love of our Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam whom we believe is the beacon from which all light of nobility, love and truth spreads out, then it will be the noblest thing for us to do; radicalize.
No! Islam does not promote violence, until it becomes the last and only option left, we can protest peacefully, we can boycott trade and diplomacy, we can stop being allies to the enemies of our beloved, we can use our words to awaken the anger that should be natural when our beloved ones are attacked. We can remind ourselves that we are not as weak as we seem to be and remind ourselves that if 18crore decide to take only one step of their feet together, that that will be enough to shake the world.

Afghanistan | Revenging the Honor of Prophet Muhammad Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam in Battle FieldMassive Attack at second largest US Air Base, Camp Bastion where Prince Harry is based.  Kabul remained relatively calm, even though there were few protests unlike the ongoing global vortex of Muslim reaction against Insulting movie trailer on Prophet Muhammad SW. But, this calmness did seem to be the silence before the storm which has already hit second largest joint US-British Air Base, Camp Bastion and Camp leatherneck in Helmand, Afghanistan, still continues as these lines are typed. A Hangar carrying world’s most sophisticated fighters jets is reportedly engulfed in to flames while two ‘Harrier’ jets are destroyed while several other damaged and at least two confirmed Marine causalities with dozens injured according to official NATO forces.A “Revenge Campaign” have ben launched against Insulting movie against Prophet Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam and this attack on ‘Shorab’ base is the beginning of this campaign where dozens of marines have been killed and several jets destroyed in the initial attack launched by ‘Tens of martrydom seeking Mujahideen.’ “Officials further say that dozens of invaders were killed in the initial phases as well as several Jets, Apache and Chinook helicopters destroyed, adding that the military base is engulfed in fire and covered in heavy smoke while the operation is still ongoing. It should be mentioned that this operation is a part of revenge campaign by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate for insult towards the beloved Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam, and plans have been placed for further retaliation throughout the country.” British Prince of Whales, Harry is also stationed at the base with his Apache Unit. Earlier Taliban have promised to kill or capture him. NATO has claimed he is safe, but his actual whereabouts during the attack are still unknown. Sources believe him being severely injured already. Army Maj. Martyn Crighton, a spokesman at International Security Assistance Force’s Joint Command, said the attack on Camp Bastion/ Camp Leatherneck may still be ongoing. There are claims that 16-17 Taliban have already been killed, but it is difficult to ascertain actual number of attackers since the attack is still underway and the remaining fighters have clearly taken strong-holds inside the facility where they are sustaining the battle for as long as they can. The attack occurred on the same base where a burning man, largely assumed to be an Afghan suicide bomber targeted the plane of the Defense Secretary Leon Panetta back in mid-March – It was imperative that the security at this base was beefed up and it is very ironic to observe that how these militants breached the security and entered the fortified base. US sources claim that the Mujahideen blasted their way in by Mortar, Rockets and other heavy weapons and later assault units made their way in to the facility. More details are awaited of this brazen and humiliating assault breaking the myth of secure Afghanistan.
