Cairo protesters today scaled the U.S. Embassy wall in Egypt and pulled down the American flag to protest a film they say is insulting to the prophet Mohammad.
Feel the love! Cairo protesters today scaled the U.S. Embassy wall in Egypt and pulled down the American flag to protest a film they say is insulting to the prophet Mohammad.
In related news, a television station has canceled the airing of a documentary on Islam because of threats it and the filmmaker have received.
Several points:
1. I thought the world loved Obama and as such world tensions would ease when he became president. Not. If anything, his inconsistent, weak, and confused foreign policy has made things worse.
2. It doesn’t look like the Arab Spring brought greater freedom and tolerance to Egypt and the Arab Middle East. In fact, I’d say it brought none of those things to Egypt and the Arab Middle East.
3. Finally, this protest illustrates nicely the benefits of Islam and its tolerant open-minded approach to dissent. Make a film that might criticize Mohammad and see the love break out!
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Building off point 3, a movie made about the MB would receive the riot treatment as well.
