Tell us again how the crowd spontaneously rose up in anger over a video nobody saw and grabbed their mortars and RPG's and headed to the Consulate
I love that story!
Many Americans are baffled at how a low-budget, horribly produced, vaguely pornographic, Islam-defaming movie that almost nobody had heard of on Sept. 10 became the flashpoint for dangerous, sometimes deadly riots around the world starting Sept. 11. And not even the whole movie just a 14-minute clip uploaded to YouTube, one of a gazillion clips that litter the videographic graveyard at the popular website. There are lots of unanswered questions surrounding the movie, Innocence of Muslims, and its fallout, but it's clear that the eruption was months in the making. Here, a look at some key dates in the saga of the clip viewed around the world:
Sept. 8
Egyptian television firebrand Sheik Khaled Abdalla airs part of the the Arabic version of the clip on local channel Al Nas, condemning it harshly. The trailer's YouTube view-count skyrockets.
The anti-Islam-film riots: A timeline - The Week
I saw the movie.
It was fucking hilarious! The Muslims - and people of your ilk - have no sense of humor.
In reality it was a 14 minute trailer. So poorly overdubbed that it was kinda funny. But the humorousness of the thing wasn't the question. It was how did the video cause the religionist to riot. Clearly it was by word of mouth, not by viewing.
