Morsi issues statement: Sue the filmmaker

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has called on the Egyptian embassy in Washington to take legal action against the producers of the “Innocence of Muslims” film, the official news agency MENA reported.

Morsi's statement came nearly a full day after the attack took place. His message was being closely watched for signs of how Egypt's first post-Mubarak president would act in a crisis involving the United States, and for how Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood member, would react to violence involving Islamic extremists in Egypt.

The film, which was produced in July, was the pretext for the Sept. 11 attack on the embassy.

My colleague Sarah Sirgany reports from Cairo:

Presidential spokesperson Yasser Ali condemned “the people behind this extremist production.” He said Egypt is committed to protecting diplomatic missions and embassies.

Egypt respects freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest, “but within the law,” Ali said.

Liberals can put Christ in Piss then celebrate it as art, but then freak out when some guy makes an anti-muslim film.

They will need to deliberate this offer by the Egyptian terrorist...

This is America , Mr. Morsi-- The right to freedom of speech here is EXPLICIT.. It's too damn bad that you have a problem with that..

BTW- Where is your condemnation of those who slaughtered innocent Americans? Where is your reassurance that our people will be safe in your Islamic haven?! ASSHOLE

 

[Katzndogz]

Naturally resolution of such a lawsuit would have to be in an islamic court.

 

[GoneBezerk]

They'll just put out a Fatwah against the film maker and supporters.

The DoS will hold a peace conference to "Understand Islam" paid for by US taxpayers to appease the terrorist running Egypt.

Unreal. Just unreal. The live feed is great at the Guardian btw. Although left leaning, they are on top of all data coming in.

Few hiccups here and there, but pretty good reporting.

This is what we the taxpayers get for giving them billions of dollars.

 

[BlindBoo]

Well in America anyone can sue anyone for anything. Just ask the lawyers.

Oh and fuck the Mulsim extremists.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Is that before or after we all have to covert to their heathen ,infidel "religion" ???

 

[Avatar4321]

I think we have a clear picture of what President Morsi thinks of the invasion into American Sovereign territory.

 

[Plasmaball]

The film make should be arrested and charged with inciting a riot.

Except denigrating a organized superstition is not inciting a riot. That those pieces of shit rioted over a fucking movie(or a cartoon) is the crime not the movie (or cartoon) or making it.

 

[RoadVirus]

No doubt Oblamo will order Holder to investigate this matter fully.

 

[ScienceRocks]

If we're still a free country this should be laughed out of court. Fuck islam and all it stands for.

You people protest and scream how you have a right to say what ever. What are you doing allowing islam to dictate our freedom of speech????

We are facing some real Scum right here in our own Country, You are right the very people pissing and moaning about this Film Maker, would support anyone who wanted to make a Movie Trashing all over Christianity, and Christians.

Yep,

It tells me their agenda is something totally different than freedom. Islam is the most anti-freedom, anti-woman, anti-human rights religion imaginable. It's just a blanket hatred of Western Civilization.

I sure as hell wouldn't go out in kill someone for slamming Christianity.

The left is AFRAID of Islam. Piss on Christ, shit on Christ, no problem, Call a Muslim Prophet a name and death to follow.

Still waiting for Sunni man to answer why his people violate the Prophets commandments in regards women. He is avoiding that like the plague.
