lol

Kind of like when a Republican complains about science via his computer.

These countries surely hurt themselves and their economy over some silly issues. Anyone who would react violently when their "magical man in the sky" (Mohammed, Allah) is supposedly insulted must think their "god" image is so fragile that they have to defend its honor. How insecure! If they were confident about their religion, they would laugh off insults or pray for those who don't believe like them. This violence is childish; no wonder most of the protestors are young (probably unemployed) men without a decent education or future.

If anyone was wondering about the yellow star sign with the smily face, Carl's Jr. owns the Hardee's chain and has the agreement to do business in the Arab world.

Looks like Anthony Bourdain chose a window in 2010 to re-do his Lebanon food show when it was relatively quiet there. In 2006, his crew had to evacuate due to violence and today I'm sure he would have to do the same. Too bad, Lebanon used to and could be a beautiful country and attract tourism if they cleaned up their act.

Notice they are not dressed poorly either. We are being led to believe by NBC that these protesters are uneducated and more radical. I am not buying that only a few hates us. Polls taken over the past years show hate going up for Americans.

Technology. We should test some of our older nukes and see if they still work.

Yeah cause nothing makes us look better than a bunch of KFC trashers then bombing a population out of existence. :)

Look at the wannabe terrorist fighting against western capitalism as he talks on his iphone.

It is ironic that some Americans fail to realize none of these products are made in America...

Jeff- you're half right but given their prevalence to show violence and kill people continuously because of their "beliefs" what do you propose us non fanatics do about this? Talk it over? Because that seems to work well- Tell people NOT to upset them with any type of freedom of speach? You can be passionate about your beliefs and thoughts and non-violent BUT these people did not get the memo nor do they want to conform with the rest of the adult, non stone age mentality, world. What's your approach?

Let them eat cake......if there is a French pastry shop nearby.

This makes perfect sense to me. We Americans condem all of Islam and Muslims because of the actions of a handful, and now they are doing the same to us for the actions of a couple of individuals and a film. Must be human nature.

Was I the only one that found the first picture caption to be particularly entertaining? "Lebanese protesters attack American fast food restaurants after Friday prayers in the northeastern city of Tripoli, Lebanon, on Sept. 14." Yes, pray then DESTROY! Sounds like they are praying to the devil.

It's not looking good when they go after KFC.

On the other hand, a certain proportion of these anti-American demonstrators are just over-excited, hostile, frustrated young men with nothing better to do. They are your garden variety vandals and hooligans, and they'll get bored soon enough and go home. In the meantime, we need to stay calm and carry on.

Fortunately, we have a Commander-in-Chief with a steady hand on the wheel.

Probably made in Israel, using Israeli technology

Maybe they don't want the U.S. on their land, bringing American culture, as much as we don't want them on our land bringing their culture.

Who knew the Lebanese people were so health-food conscious? MUW, please go back to doing something constructive like breaking rocks with your head.

these people are so funny LOL... There destroying there own food resturants, what was the point of this, to make their neigborhoods look even worse than they already are..? they are the ones who will walk outside there house in the morning and look at the mess that there people have to clean up. simply retarted.

Hahahahaha.....No You're..... I'm just Clueless...And That's Pretty Much Saying It All!

Well That And Your Disgusting Avatar Anyway!

Obama Supporting Democratic Bestiality Posters Plainly Displayed On NBC...Who'd Had Thunk it?

This whole thing with instigated by some Egyptian guy making an anti Islamic film, on 9/11 no less…… That sure sounds fishy to me. Wouldn’t it be interesting if in a month or so we discover that this film was actually produced by some Muslim terrorist group just to set up the U.S. to take the blame? I'm not usually into conspiracy theories but this one sounds plausible to me.

All we have to do is get off oil from the middle east. They have nothing else of value. Then cut off all investments and businesses (such as the ones they're burning) in these countries. Then, freeze all accounts that do business with these countries and pass a law making it illegal to do so in the future. Also, ban all travel to and from extremist harboring countries to the US. They will simply wither as the world gives them what the want.... isolation. They act like complete idiots over a stupid movie no one has even seen.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, stop putting a camera in front of them!!!! This only encourages them to act like this.

these people were just looking for an excuse to take down KFC & Hardee's - they were tired of constantly crapping their pants from eating the food....

After attacking the KFC, the protesters expressed sadness that they were unable to locate and kill the Colonel, a military target that was threatening their country.

They want their chicken extra crispy today.

I hope they were unable to discover the secret recipe.

War is so cruel in it's unintended consequences - a moment of silence for the loss of Tranquil. Tomorrow mornings news will be reviewed in the missing comic formation.

Syria & Iran Were Non Starters So Back Stabbing Barry Just Had His CIA & Al-Qaeda Supporters Create A New Crisis For Him and NOW IS MILKING IT FOR ALL THAT IT IS WORTH!

The attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya and the killing of the U.S. ambassador and several aides is another tragic example of how our interventionist foreign policy undermines our national security.

Hardee's is crap food.

it may be, but those KFC biscuits didn't deserve it

Special: 30 Piece extra crispy with 5 sides for 25 Liras

Maybe it is an excuse to loot. Surely there is a thief somewhere in the mix.

Gangs of protesters were seen with freid chicken legs in their mouth as they threw rocks.

The anger is not just about Religion. American military goes into a country, clears the way for all the Corporations to take over Putting Small Business of that Country out of work, and then tries to culturize them into the buy,buy,buy ways of Capitalism. American Corporate should not be there! If these people chose to buy American products, let them buy from our shores made by Americans. Get the Vultures out. Global Free Trade is a huge Rip off for all of us but the Corps. Religion is only Half the anger. The other half is Human Rights.

The protestors obviously dont like American fast food--did they do any McDonalds or Burger Kings yet. This seems a bit silly for the Muslims to do to get back at the US. They also probably ruined some young Muslim child day--so senseless on their part!!

Why doesn't the story mention the Krispy Kream donuts sign?

Well there goes our master plan of killing them all slowly with fast food.

I know ... shouldn't make light of this situation but ....

Maybe it is an excuse to loot. Surely there is a thief somewhere in the mix.

Top pic, there is someone on the left side with a cooler. Probably going after the Krispy Kreams. And what's up with the guy holding a smurfette????

To Mark 423819....I think the article was showing favoritism to KFC and Hardees. However, the photo journalism does show the Krispy Kreme sign shattered/blown out in the 3rd picture down.

This is not about a film or Mohammed. This is about a bunch of people living in squalor, it's hot as hell and they have no freedom. They are jealous of the American way of life and our freedom.

Like some are saying - this probably has very little to do with the film, and may present an even bigger problem of Middle East policies spinning out of control. The movie is just an excuse - even to the most uneducated person over there, the connections between the movie and this country are completely nonsensical.

99.9% of Americans probably wouldn't have even known the movie existed - destined to fade into obscurity - had they not brought such attention to it.

Other rioters could also simply be opportunists and jumping on the bandwagon for the hell of it. Mob mentality.

I don't foresee this getting better any time soon, sadly.

i don't see the movie as an excuse, rather a trigger. There were some very valid comments in this thread about squalor and jealousy. The best breeding ground for terrorists are those living in poverty. How many RICH people blow themselves up?

One thing to bear in mind, this is as much a CULTURE issue as it is a religoius one. Westernized, middle class Muslims don't do this, they condemn it. You see poor, middle eastern Muslims doing this. We do tend to forget the CULTURAL aspect and dwell totally on the religoius one.

Also ... I think the producer of this movie knew very well what would happen and, in some way, should be held responsible. Yes, we have "freedom of speech" ... but with that feedom comes responsibility ... and consequences.

Sadly, I don't see it ending any time soon either.

Religion makes stupid people ignorant...INCLUDING christianity.

Religion makes stupid people ignorant...INCLUDING christianity.

Nods.

How difficult is it for them to comprehend that the film wasn't produced or sanctioned by the United States???

What many of you fail to understand is the cultural and political differences that exist between countries. Here, we exercise freedom of speech/expression; in many other countries, the government censors much of what is considered offensive. There is an implicit assumption over there that since our government did not prevent the movie from being produced and the trailer going out on the Internet, then it approved the movie. Hence the violent response. They don't understand the fact that mindless idiots over here have a right to free speech and can produce moronic and offensive drivel that many of us, including the government do not approve.

But that is the point. They won't ever understand that nor accept it. They hate the US more than they hate the filmmaker because they think we are supporting his view by allowing him to exist at all.

They hate the US more than they hate the filmmaker

There are plenty of examples of Americans hating all Muslims for the actions of a few extremists, same thing.

Finally....someone who actually watches the news and doesn't believe all the republican propoganda!!

Yeah, except we also our politicians going around decrying Obama for being a Muslim in secret IMPLYING that being a Muslim is wrong. So yeah, I can understand why they think our country might be run with those kinds of thoughts =/

Don't buy the Squalor/Envy line. It is a religious/cultural thing. Yes, "westernized" middle class Muslims do commit terrorist attacks. Look at the 4 Muslim doctors who planned and attempted to carry out a series of attacks in Britain and Scotland. Look at Army Major Hassan Nidal who is currently standing trial for murdering 13 people in a military intake building at Ft Hood, TX. He's a licensed psychiatrist and grew up in the US. How about the Army enlisted man who was planning another attack at Ft Hood but was arrested following a tip from a gun shop owner that found his actions "odd" and notified police? He was born and raised in the US. He grew up in a nice suburb of Dallas. This is a cultural thing and won't change until the moderate/modern Muslims start shutting down and condemning the radical imams. Once they stop funding the radical Imam, the moderate imams starting issuing fatwahs against the radical ones and the governments of the middle east start rounding them up and making them disappear, the situation will improve. Until then, anything less than simply destroying each and every radical imam and as many of their followers as possible will have minimal impact.

It's far too easy to radicalize the youth in any population through adequate propaganda. Look at how radical the Ron Paul followers are. The guy may have some good ideas, but that doesn't mean he's always right. Same thing goes for the New Black Panther Party and the Nation of Islam. They all use the few good ideas that they have as the basis to legitimize their positions, then proceed to claim that since their basic premise is valid, their radical ideas are as well. Christianity grew out of this phase in the 17th century with the 30 years war, the Spanish Inquisition, and the English Civil War. At least most of Christendom did. The Irish were still violently fighting Catholics versus Protestants until the late 90s. There are still some radical Christians, <cough> Westboro Baptist <cough> but the bulk of the Christendom considers them to be nutcases and as long as they don't resort to violence they are allowed to spew their stupidity. Until the governments of the Islamic countries crack down on the radical imams, the fate of the world is in question. The only option that the US has is to stop ALL visas for people from Islamic countries and imprison ANY imam promoting violence.

lol, indeed

They destroy their own city's and infrastructure every day in the middle east. Then Obama sends them hundreds of millions to fix it all.

They don't care.

That is America's foreign policy not President Obama policy. You and those like you should study His-tory!!!!!!!!!!!

DT-2455291 They are probably saying.....Oops right about now.

How many investors will choose to not invest there? Morisi is running around looking for western investors because all Egypt has is sand.

PDubb

My wallet is almost history. Maybe they should study that!!

PDubb - History? Our foreign policy? Obama is the commander in chief - the prez - the guy who works on foreign policy along with Congress in the best interest of all of the American People. Noninterventionism is also American foreign policy. Historically. It's kind of a pick and choose thing. Obama has chosen to give taxpayer money away to nations undeserving of it. He has chosen to continue to war. Do you think he'll take actions to stop these things - to put American's first? Watch and see. It's more History in the making.

Look when there was regime changes, there were winners and losers. Do you think all the losers just conceded and are happily living with those they disagree with? The loyalists didn't go anywhere. The US threw Mubarak under the bus. Some are happy with that and some are not. Qaddafi was taken out by NATO. Do you think everybody was happy with that decision?

Look at Iraq. The Sunni were in charge and now they are not. Do you think they are happy with the Shiite in control? Who do you think they blame?

I don't know, that last Spiderman movie made me pretty angry.

This is a race riot and the only thing that will end it is enough time.

Maybe if these punks had jobs they wouldn't be up to these shenanigans....Oh wait, they're burning up all the stuff that has the jobs. I guffaw at their idiocy.

Now that was funny. I had to go back and look. True Mr Roboto if I have ever seen it.

At least he spelled Texas right, unlike his buddy above.

"His judgement cometh, and that right soon." from Shawshank Redemption

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that was lifted out of the Bible.

It is not in the Bible. It was "lifted" from the Apocrypha.

I don't have nor do I read a Bible. So I'll defer to your superior scholarship in this particular area. By the way, Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies.

It is a timeless classic for me.

"Get busy livin', or get busy dying." Andy Dufresne Shawshank Redemption

Amen! Got a feeling it will hit us here too! Mindless ragheads with mob mentality....the film was just an excuse to riot!! They hate America...but we send them our money!! I just don't get it??

Don't have to ask me twice.

@KIKI : You forget that you also sent them plenty of bombs and plenty of support for the dictators that took their freedom away for decades. No wonder they hate America.

You'll notice that in Lybia, immediately after the embassy attack, thousands and thousands of Lybians marched to ask for forgiveness and claiming that the mob didn't represent lybians. Why ? Because the US didn't actually support Ghaddaffi and helped overthrow him.

No such thing in Egypt, Tunisia, etc... where the US supported the dictator in place for decades, so obviously people over there hate the US.

Spoken with authority and erudition like the knuckle dragging cretin you are. Please, tell us more about the human condition, Socrates.

Yea, Socrates loved his processed food....

Iran is working on the Shiite shield which includes Syria, Iran and Iraq. They are building an empire. This is NOT about that stupid film.

Iraq was the only country in the region that kept Iran at bay and then, in our infinite wisdom, we destroyed Iraq. It seems the USA and the west are doing everything in their power to make sure there is an end to the world due to our foreign policy. This is my conspiracy theory.

Can't be.. The cops don't have doughnuts in their hands.

Mabel - He will apologize for our 'insensitive behavior' and continue his 'curious' attack on Christianity in America. You'd think his alliance was with Islam. Imagine that.

You are an idiot......this has nothing to do with Obama. An Egyptian made that film using a false American name.

No you're the idiot. Evil Religion thugs are taking American lives and threatening American interests. What may have pushed them over the edge to do this is inconsequential. It is the President's OBLIGATION to put a stop to it.

Dilbert, their thinking may be different from yours, I wouldn't believe its 5th century. They prop up that 5th century scroll paper as a good excuse, one that is indeed often not subjected to scrutiny. They are angry, thugs, they want a lot of goodies and they want it yesterday. The only language they listen to and understand is FEAR. All this high and mighty speeches given by leaders are just a hogwash for them. The best way to deal with them is to keep them busy. The issue is , we have kept them busy in the wrong ways for decades..outsourcing dirty wars , unrest etc. They have been used as foot soldiers. Now they are genetically and culturally programmed to shoot and create mayhem.

Give them the fear of a rule of law , not the way their dictator tyrants did but genuine fear of genuine law. They will scuttle back to their caves in seconds. They are basically cowards.

I say, use them in a way that they have zero time for Friday prayers and thuggish behavior.

You know, Colonel Sanders does have a striking resemblance to... oh shh never mind.

Wait,, they just answered... No We Won't, so there!

Needed, bricks to build a brand new KFC.
