Protesters attack U.S. diplomatic compounds in Egypt, Libya

By David Ariosto, CNN
September 12, 2012

Cairo (CNN) -- The United States said it was taking measures to protect its citizens worldwide after protesters angry about an online film considered offensive to Islam attacked U.S. diplomatic compounds in Libya and Egypt on Tuesday, killing an American.

In Cairo, several men scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy and tore down its American flag, according to CNN producer Mohamed Fadel Fahmy, who was on the scene.

In Libya, witnesses say members of a radical Islamist group called Ansar al-Sharia protested near the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, where NATO jets established no-fly zones last year to blunt ground attacks from then Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

The group then clashed with security forces in the city, blocking roads leading to the consulate, witnesses said.

A U.S. State Department officer was killed in the violence in Benghazi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement late Tuesday.

"We are heartbroken by this terrible loss," Clinton said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack."

The movie lampooning the Prophet is being produced by some expatriate Christian Copts in the US.

On Sunday, Egyptian Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa denounced "the actions undertaken by some extremist Copts who made a film offensive to the Prophet."

He said the offence "affects millions of Muslims around the world" and that the making of such a film could not be justified on the basis of freedom of expression.

"The attack on religious sanctities does not fall under this freedom," said Gomaa.

The offensive film coincides with a symbolic "trial" of the Prophet by anti-Islam pastor Terry Jones, who burnt the Noble Qur'an in 2010, in Florida on Tuesday.

Plot to Divide

Copts also took part in the protest against the offensive movie of the Prophet.

"I am here because I am Egyptian and reject anything that insults Islam or anything that sparks division in Egypt," Rafiq Farouk, 38, told Reuters.

The abusive movie has already drawn condemnation from Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church.

The church said in a statement that some Copts living abroad financed "the production of a film insulting Prophet Mohammad".

About a 10th of Egypt's 83 million people are Christians.

Offensive depiction of prophet

Muslims find it offensive to depict Muhammad in any fashion, much less in an insulting way. The 2005 publication of 12 caricatures of the prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper triggered riots in many Muslim countries.

A 14-minute trailer of the movie that sparked the protests, posted on the website YouTube in an original English version and another dubbed into Egyptian Arabic, depicts Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a madman in an overtly ridiculing way, showing him having sex and calling for massacres.

A YouTube spokesperson said the website would not take down the video at this point. The website's guidelines call for removing videos that include a threat of violence, but not those only expressing opinions. YouTube's practice is not to comment on a specific video. (http://www.cbc.ca/)
