Some pics from a counter protest in Libya: Libyans hold peaceful demonstrations decrying the Benghazi attacks [PHOTOS] - UPI.com

Not a huge crowd, but the Libya situation is different. Clearly a planned attack, and Libyans rejected hardline Islamists in the elections. The only Arab countries I would ever want to visit are the Maghrebi ones in Northwest Africa. They seem more moderate.

Egypt and Yemen on the other hand, they friggin' hate us.

Oh really?

Tell you what, I'll take you right smack dab in the middle of a majority Muslim neighborhood, and let's see if you do anything since you wanna talk about "do nothing."

I know a few spots in Dearborn where i'd like to see you "do something" beyond whisper under your breath as usual.

There are peaceful Muslims. Sorry.

I keep hearing this. That's when I remember my Muslim colleagues in Germany weeping (as did we all) during the nationwide silent vigil after Sept. 11th 2001.

Of course, it being in Germany, there would have been an extra poignancy to comments like "They all believe the same thing" and of course "They all lie". It's not that long ago people who thought like that gained enough power to act on the ugliness in their minds.

Many would get confused as to what they are protesting and go back to their teachings as youths and start looking to cut people's throats who don't believe in allah. Best to let em stay on xbox for now.

Sorry to say I really don't believe there are many Muslims, nut jobs or not that like us. They may not hate us enough to go out and do what is happening now but deep down they don't like us. I have Muslim friends and since this happen they have been silent. Troubling to me I have to say.

And if I did, and there are "peaceful" muslims as you claim there are... what you just inferred is a veiled threat.

Keep it up, you're doing sooooo well to convince me about those "peaceful" muslims.

They're all liars.

Oh please...

Look the protesters out there rioting are retard-strength mongoloid idiots, but to say that there's absolutely division of though at all between all billion Muslims on this planet is just as stupid. My girlfriend is half-Syrian Arab and many of her relatives still consider themselves to be Muslim, both in culture and religion, yet they're completely refined and educated people--most of them are actually doctors. I have close Bosnian and Turkish friends as well who are nothing like the Arab masses in terms of religious ferocity. I've spent plenty of time in Muslim nations where no one gave a care if I was Christian--in fact in places like Morocco I met some of the most hospitable people I've ever met who invited me into their homes. Which is why when the unwashed masses engage in more stupidity like this latest round of anger over what is basically a YouTube video it's even more depressing, because I realize that's what all people like my girlfriend's father(whose birth name is Mohhammed) are going to be judged on.

When people have rioted in America(which is often if you look at our history) did other Americans have peaceful protests denouncing the rioters? No, never--that almost never happens anywhere.

I have a serious question. You say you know all of these Muslims, what are they saying about this right now? Or are they just silent. I have Muslim friends also and although they are not like these nuts they are silent, or I get comments when I do ask what they think, like "oh yes it is terrible" that is it.

Before you answer, really think about it.
