As many of you likely know there were some significant events on September 11 yesterday. In Cairo Egypt there were protesters who breached the American Embassy, tore down the American flag and put up a black flag. Later in the day it was learned that an extremist mob in Libya were responsible for the death of the American Ambassador as well as 3 other Americans. Some are saying there is evidence it could have possibly been a coordinated attack that has links to Al Qaeda. It was earlier reported that the Embassy breach by the group in Cairo Egypt was linked to anger over an online film an American citizen had made depicting the muslim prophet, Muhammad in a very unpleasant light. Most American political figures have called the killings in Libya outrageous. Discuss below any thoughts you may have on the events. Please, always remember to be civil towards one another in your posts.
