It was interesting that the attack on the US Embassy in Libya in the summer of 2012 on September 11 broke the peaceful relationship between the United States and the Libyan new government. What was even more puzzling was the excuse for the attack.
Apparently, the attackers claimed that the reason for firebombing of the US Embassy in Libya and killing the US ambassador was because someone had created a video trashing "The All Mighty Prophet Mohammed" and that someone who is claimed to have created the video is an American, or an Israeli living in America, or it's hard to say because there are so many different versions of the story now.
However, consider this; if an individual living in a country does something, what does that have to do with the country? If we take that approach, we could say that since someone in Libya organized an attack on the embassy, it is Libya's fault, and therefore we must punish all Libyans. Would that mean that the United States has the right to destroy the country, and eliminate the people? Surely, people of Islam don't believe that, do they?
What I'm saying to you is we have a little bit of hypocrisy going on here. If someone makes a cartoon in Denmark, does that make it okay to attack anyone from that country, or even the country and government itself? If it does, then we now have the right as Americans to do the unthinkable, merely because a few individuals have attacked us, and dishonored our culture in doing so. You see that point?
Now then, here is another philosophical conundrum; the person that created the video showed or was said to have shown that Islam was a world of hate and disrespected the Great Prophet Mohammed. Obviously the people of Islam and all the Muslims don't consider themselves bad people. If however, people use this as an excuse to attack and kill innocent individuals, or attack an entire nation, because if someone attacks a US embassy they are attacking America, then in many regards an onlooker could say that those that do the attacking prove that the documentary's filmmaker was correct in his assertions.
No, of course I'm not saying he was or wasn't, and quite frankly I haven't seen the film, nor do I care too, I just think there's enough problems of the world, and I'm going to ignore it. Still, whoever made that film, whether it was someone claiming to be an Israeli, or an American, they may have in fact be proven correct by the deadly actions of those who used it as an excuse to do evil. Those who wish to do terrible and heinous crimes against humanity will always find an excuse, even if they have to manufacture one.
We don't know the truth, it's all hearsay, we don't know if that video was created under a false flag pretense, or if these attacks have been planned for a long time to be carried out on the anniversary of 9/11, and that was just a convenient excuse to do so. Whatever the case may be, whoever made that video, and whatever happens to be in it, or was in it before it was pulled off-line, may have used superior intellect to serve his will in challenging the dictates of one of the world's largest religions and cultures.
In which case it is he who is now laughing while the rest of us have been manipulated, used, and/or attacked physically, spiritually, and witnessed our innocence and love of humanity vanish. Maybe it's time for humanity to bury the hatchet, before everything escalates into a winner take all game. That would be unfortunate because the United States would be the winner, her innocence would be lost, and billions of people would pay for something they probably don't even agree with. That would be a travesty, and tragic end to these unfortunate circumstances. Let's not let it happen.
