Egyptians are very angry and protested by scaling the walls of the U.S. embassy this Tuesday, U.S. flag was burnt by them and anger sprawled left right and center. The idea said to be believed regarding the protest was the making of a film which pinched the sentiments of the Muslims around the world. The film is based on religious topics and the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) is insulted in that movie.
According to a witness of the entire episode said that in the place of the U.S. Flag, a black flag was lifted with the words “There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his messenger”. While U.S. flag was burnt and pieces were shown on camera, many believed that the filming agitated the riot up to this extend.
Filming of such topics harms the Muslim sentiments as it’s prohibited to depict the most respectable personality of Islam. Majority while present during the incident demanded a fast apology from the film team and it must be halted from further filming, the protestors climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy while remaining stood outside the embassy and expressed their sentiments regarding this brutal action on Tuesday.
Egyptian protested and burnt the U.S. flag was the due to the production of the film based on a controversial topic, although it has not been finalized as which film they made an issue out of it but actions taken over it was full of fire. Protest have also become quite common in the recent times s when U.S. Secretary Hilary Clinton visited Egypt a time back, many stood up and called slogans against her. Moreover, a famous slogan was called claiming that “If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our freedom of action.”
The brazen attack on the U.S embassy also killed an American; the angry souls were tickled by “video linked to Florida pastor Terry Jones, whose public burning of the Koran in 2010 led to deadly protests in Afghanistan. The film reportedly mocks the prophet Muhammad.” as per the sources.

“We can confirm that our office in Benghazi, Libya, has been attacked by a group of militants. We are working with the Libyans now to secure the compound,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement. “We condemn in strongest terms this attack on our diplomatic mission.”
State department said on Tuesday to bring down the heat of the incident and expressed during the press briefing
““Obviously, one of the things about the new Egypt is that protest is possible,” Nuland said. “Obviously we all want to see peaceful protest, which is not what happened outside the U.S. mission, so we’re trying to restore calm now. But I think the bigger picture is one of the United States supporting Egypt’s democratic transition and the Egyptian Government very much welcoming and working with us on the support that we have to offer.”
