SURELY PEOPLE DO NOT FALL FOR SUCH BLATANT PROPAGANDA?
This is not to say Libyan people are not good people, but they have no reason to be sorry to America for anything. They just want peace like any other normal people, but this is very obvious, staged propaganda.
119 flags yep I'd say they are eating it hook line and sinker. Funny how they claim we are asleep and too busy with American Idol. At least some people get it, star for you my friend.

My sentiments exactly, the moment I first saw these pictures I thought they looked really, really suspicious...like a public relations campaign or people pleading for the U.S.A. to NOT invade or bomb their country.
Of all the religious groups in the world, Christianity has done more to restrict and limit my freedoms than any other religion.
I haven't been "convinced" that all Muslims are evil.
From what I've seen, the vast majority of Muslim people are nice, friendly, moderate, normal people - at least all the ones I've met in my life have been.
And I would have to say that this is also evidenced in the numbers of people in these countries where such violence is playing out. These nations have millions of Muslim people living happily, and as there are only a couple of hundred extremists taking part, out of those millions of people, that's possibly less than 0.001% of all Muslims in these countries.
Sorry, people of America, this not the behavior of our Islam | Libya

Yea - its a terror cult posing as a religion..........scourge of the planet.
Pictures above? Inverse CIA propaganda!

While I appreciate the thoughts and sentiments, what I am really looking for is concrete actions. Why haven't the AQ inspired militia groups been "taken care of" yet? I saw pictures of Libyans trying to help those US embassy personal, for that I am thankful, but it wasn't enough to prevent it.
I really do want to see freedom and democracy ect thrive with the Arab Spring revolutions, more so for the people of the region than for any geopolitical reason. But so far all I have seen is the power vacuum of one dictator rapidly replaced by yet another dictator. The real foot soldiers of the Arab Spring, the people yearning for freedom, have just exchanged one master for another, I fear. Those foot soldiers need to stay vigilant and ready to protest again.
Does anyone really think that the Muslim Brotherhood will ever hold free and fair elections in Egypt again? Myself I doubt it, especially the way they are going after groups and people not supporting them. Shutting down media outlets, replacing posts with cronies....... where have I seen this story before?

The people depicted in the above photos ARE the proper and true representation of the vast majority of Muslims -- those who are just as horrified and upset by terrorism as we Americans are.
We appreciate the support, and may Allah bless you and yours in all things.

We all understand that, and I feel sorry for those people who have to deal with the consequences of the extremists....but I still have to say there is a significant portion of Muslims who have extremist beliefs.

I too was surprised to see the signs. Very heart warming. I'll say prayers for these people tonight and ask that God protect them from their own people. The radicals will probably mark these people as western sympathizers and go after them too.
And may God bless the Americans that lost their lives and their families that will miss them.

And what about the Christian emperors of Rome after Constantine the Great, and before Mohammed was even born?
Did they spread the Roman-Christian territory through peaceful means?
