But Obama and others are only condemning the muslims, not the main culprits who tried to breach the peace.

You have got to be kidding me.


No, I am not. You want justice, condemn both of their work. If you are a rational human being, why would you support that film which can cause breach of peace? Islam does not support criticising dead people, cause they are not alive and can't criticise you back. 

If someone abuses my parents or anyone I love and on sudden provocation I hit him and injure him, it is not an offence in the eye of law. I don't know about US laws, but it is a principle in common law. You can't provocate other and expect peace.

Look here's the bottom line...someone made a film. It's inflamatory and disgusting, but it represents the view of one person. We in America believe in (I question this as of late) individual liberty, which translates to free speech, which means we are well aware of the double edged sword we carry by supporting it. That means this persons right to be offensive supercedes the publics right to be offended. If the Arab world wants justice, condemn the individual, not the rights of the people in that nation.

There's a huge distinction between terrorists and Muslims (or people of any faith for that matter.) You surely must see that sir. People gathered in the streets and protested a film that offended them. I commend that action. That is rational expression of outrage, in which case I would imagine that if I were Muslim I would be outraged. But several people comitted an act of murder, which is not something that should be tolerated by any reasonable person. When has it ever been acceptable that speech be turned into violence?
