So to people like these, "The Innocence of Muslims" might as well have been made right there in the very embassies they are attacking. Which is not really an excuse as such, but it certainly puts what's going on into perspective. Those people are not randomly attacking westerners, they believe they are attacking the very people responsible, and that the film is basicly official US propaganda.
This is such BS. Not sure who is worse, the violent thugs themselves, their jihad calling leaders or their supposedly enlightened apologists.
