On the anniversary of 9/11, Islamists in Egypt breached the walls of the US Embassy in Cairo, shouting "Sons of the Cross, leave Mohammed alone," reminiscent of the 1978 attacks by Iranian "students" on the US Embassy in Tehran. After tearing down the US Flag, they desecrated it, and raised the black flag of Al-Qaeda.
Main Stream Media continues to repeat the excuse of Islamists, that the attack on the US Embassy was in "response" to a film produced by Coptic Egyptian refugees in California, depicting Mohammed in an unfavorable manner.
A few hours later an Islamist mob in Libya attacked the US Consulate in Benghazi. They then set fire to the Consulate.
An official at the embassy told VOA that all the employees on the compound were safe.
Media reports say the film about the prophet was financed by expatriate members of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority group.
The protests coincide with the 11th anniversary of September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.
