The world as a whole is in an outrage due to the protestors
and violent attacks on the U.S. embassies around the world. Protesting has
started in 10 nations around the world and the region of Kashmir. These are
very violent attacks on the U.S. in hopes to hurt as many people a possible. It
is suggested that the reasoning for these attacks are a response to an anti-Islam
film released couple months ago. The trailer of this film portrays Islam’s
prophet, Muhammad, in a very degrading and displeasing light. Senator Clinton
agrees, this video is distasteful and looks to be malicious. Americans were killed in the attack Tuesday
in Cairo and many others hurt in the attacks in Yemen and Egypt. Some of the
countries even have taken this hate to a level of “Death to America.” In
attempt to keep some peace, President Obama has taken the notion to contact
many of his foreign cohorts in regards to these violent attacks. The goal is
control this outrage about this video and keep in from spreading. The violence
has yet t spread to Afghanistan, but in order to control this they have ordered
for YouTube to be blocked so that the video cannot be seen. The article goes on to speak about how this
incident spikes a debate on the freedom of speech and it resulting in violence
and turmoil. I found the article most interesting and went in to do further
research. The author of this video is said to be in hiding and under protection.
However this is where the freedom of speech has endangered thousands of people
and the country as whole. There are special precautions being taken in order to
not upset radicals within the US and hopes for this turmoil to not become more
of a war-like issue. I believe some tact and class should have been into the
thought of the video, but that’s only if I were the composer. These kinds of
careless acts and unseen outrages are the causes for the huge divide in our
world as whole.
