Libyans express sorrow over killing of Americans

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Hours after learning of Ambassador Chris Stevens' death, the Libyan Youth Movement transformed its Facebook page into a tribute to the slain diplomat. It changed its cover photo from "Free Libya" graffiti sprayed on a Tripoli wall to a somber photo of Stevens with the tag "RIP Christopher Stevens 1960-2012."

"As North America wakes up, dread washes over me. What a rough night. I'm sorry for the horrible day the world is about to face," the administrator of the Shabab Libya page wrote.

As anti-American protests swept across North Africa and the Arabian Gulf, a counter-protest of apology emerged. Photos of Libyans carrying hand-lettered signs condemning the violence and expressing contrition for their countrymen appeared on Facebook. "Sorry" became the trending mantra of Libyans on Twitter.

At one counter-protest, an unidentified man carried a crude sign phonetically written in English with blue marker on lined notebook paper, "Sorry People of America this not the Pehavior of our ISLAM and Profit."

Another sign read: "Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans."

"We Are Sorry," the group wrote on the page created Sept.11. "We would like show that as Libyans we do not support on the actions committed by these criminals. USA, we are sorry and we will say it one thousand times over. Our apologies will never be enough, but the Libyan people will always be grateful for you since you were the first to stand by us in our fight for freedom and hopefully you will continue supporting us."

The sad thing is that this is the attitude of the VAST majority of the Arab World. It, unfortunately, isn't newsworthy.

Come on, you know it doesn't matter even if 99.9% of Muslims share this attitude. The angry screaming violent Muslim meme represents them all.

"The 400-strong assault force in Benghazi showed up with RPGs and mortars: that's not a spontaneous movie protest; that's an act of war, and better planned and executed than the dying superpower's response to it." ...MARK STEYN

That's what I've been trying to tell people.

The militias are heavily armed and there are partisan groups both pro-and anti-American out there. This was a coordinated attack, no doubt. The pretext of a movie riot was used to provide cover for the criminal act.

It's my understanding that there is no reliable data to determine 99.9% or any other made up figure in regards to how many Muslims share the attitude of regret for what Islamic Radicals do. Regardless it is nice to see affirmations at least some Muslims are openly critical and willing to condemn them, such as in the OP.

Guess the pressure of my posts forced them to?

Even if you never existed, they would still denounce it. Nothing new.

Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Sunday that last week’s deadly attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya was a spontaneous reaction to an Internet video offensive to Muslims and not a premeditated response to U.S. foreign policy in the Arab world.

The militias are heavily armed and there are partisan groups both pro-and anti-American out there. This was a coordinated attack, no doubt. The pretext of a movie riot was used to provide cover for the criminal act.

Her comments (Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations) contradict Libyan President Mohamed Yousef El-Magariaf, who said Sunday he believed the attack was premeditated.

Thank God (I know some of you don't like those words, just appease me OK) the duly appointed obamanite knows more than the President of the country where these actions occurred.

Just sayin, you know!

Do your reading skills suddenly deteriorate to sub-elementary level whenever you enter a thread about a story involving Muslims ? It seems they do.

And wow that's some amazing power in your posts on VJ - they completely changed the attitudes of not only Libyan Muslims who were already speaking out, but Muslims all over the world - who were "openly critical and willing to condemn" the killings not only before you did, but without ever even knowing of your existence. Incredible !

Get over yourself.

99.9%, really? I find that hard to believe. Where did you get that number?

In other words, it wouldn't be enough for some people even if 99.9% of Muslims share this attitude.

Meanwhile, another poster has made numerous claims about the percentage of Muslims who have particular attitudes, even pulled supposed stats out of his behind - and you've had nada to say about it. Double standard ?

This can be taken two ways, matter of factly or hypothetically. I took it matter of factly cause you claim to be an authority on these muslim killing thingys. Next time I'll know you're just blowing smoke as usual
