The Effects of a Movie

Some of you may have not hear yet today of the news that occurred late last night. The United States' Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens was killed along with 3 other Americans during a rocket attack on the US Embassy shortly after midnight last night. This coming as a response to the controversial movie made that  depicts the Prophet Mohammad and the religion of Islam in an unfavorable light. The film was created by Sam Bacile, an Israeli-American real-estate developer, according to the Wall Street Journal.

This response should not come as a surprise to everyone following the previous instances where the image of the Prophet Mohammad was shown in a British Cartoon. There were protests then and multiple threats made against the cartoonist and the west.

I have seen parts of this movie and it is very offesnsive and attempts to discredit Islam as a false religion based on lies. I do not understand what possessed this Sam Bacile to create this video and publish it on the internet but for sure Americans have already paid the price. I wish people would attempt to understand others cultures and respect their customs.

This story is ever changing and developing. There is no doubt in my mind that it will have an effect on the presidential race and foreign relations in the coming months. President Obama and Mitt Romney are set to  speak on this topic later today and I encourage you to watch their remarks.

Let me know what you think of this attack and the movie in general.
