KABUL: The Taliban called on Afghans on Wednesday to prepare for a fight against Americans and urged insurgents to “take revenge” on US soldiers over a US-made film depicting Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
“The Islamic Emirate calls on religious heads around the country to completely inform Muslim followers of the inhumane acts of Americans… And make them ready for a long-term fight,” the group said in a statement, referring to the name it calls itself.

No dude, they’re just as wrong as usual

If this film portrays anything against PBUH or Islam, it is going to create and spread unprecedented violence in whole Muslim world against the Americans and especially in Pakistan where anti-American feelings is at the highest point. Hope the film is banned before it causes irreparable damage of inciting hatred and violence on a large scale and put US on a spot.

Non muslims around the world can do anything really. Is killing the real answer? Just kill kill kill and give your religion a bad name. Most of the time you kill your own in retaliation, how absurd is thatRecommend
@Poleturtle – agreed!!

Actually they are completely wrong! How can you stand by and condone behavior like that!? Newsflash to those who apparently don’t know, this “movie” wasn’t made by “Americans” or by our soldiers. It was made by one man in California somewhere, to condemn the entire country and all of it’s citizens, to the point of calling for murder is completely and absolutely ridiculous. Everyone always talks about how Islam is not correctly portrayed all over the world and people post things like the above comment and subsequent comments and wonder why. Really?! Are you wondering now?!

Why attack innocent people over the actions of an individual?
A guy made a film and these guys want to kill people who took no part in that, who souldnt have supported that and who couldnt have done anything about it.
Thats pure madness, just as it is wrong to blame all muslims for flying planes into the twin towers its completely irresponsible and unjust to blame innocent people for a film they never made.

I would appreciate if the leaders themselves become suicide bombers and not an innocent 14 year old boy. They are not leaders but cowards.

@above comments May be now you understand why westerners hate Islam and Muslims. The guy who produced the film insulted your religion, i don’t know in what way exactly. He didn’t cause any harm to any person. But the people who reacted did. Instead of condemning them again as usual Muslims are defending and hiding behind victim mentality. Let me get this straight what is really cruel ” The guy who shot the film or the people who put 14 year old in jail” .Religion blinds everything for Muslims even humanity doesn’t come to mind. Finally the world is waking up to fascists and bigots.

Yeah right – lets blow up some American’s because an Israeli film maker decided to make a movie that showed Islam as a violent religion. And you wonder why people smirk when you say that Islam is the “religion of peace”.

@FJ:
it does not matter whether you find it disgusting or hilarious or nothing, what matters is whether Muslim religion produces enough depth and reason in its followers to be able to ignore such movies? I regret to say this but I think maybe it does not!

Those opposing the attacks on US interest over a blasphemous movie prepared in collaboration between Jews & Christians, at least ponder, If your mother and father is insulted in such manner would u tolerate or not. Freedom of expression deals directly with freedom of responsibility.
It is the matter of the respect of our Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), whom Allah loved the most none other then that in all universes.
It is a unanimous decision in Islam that blasphemy of Prophet is not allowed and it carries Capital Punishment in Islam.
Those think i am wrong, ask any Mullah of your like and confirm this for your satisfaction.
If u don’t believe on Mullah then who would offer your funeral prayers if you are Muslim.
Think for while !!!!!

I wonder why there is no protest seen from American Muslims ?

@Darknight Because some of them haven’t got citizenship lol. They can’t wag their tails like they do in your countries, they know their limits.They have to accept or ignore the film.

The film makers must be punished for murder under hate crime in the US.
The murderers in Libya must be punished under the Salafi law for murder of innocent people who had nothing to do with the film.
The Muslims love, respect and honor the Holy Prophet SAW. They should however not idolize him to create mayhem and havoc in the world. The Holy prophet SAW would abhor blood being shed of innocent people on his behalf.
The Muslims should learn that they can control themselves. They can not control others.
The Muslims should sacrifice their lives in service for humanity instead of taking others lives if they they love the Holy Prohet SAW so much. After all, Allah SWT Himself declared the Holy Prophet SAW as Rahamtullilaleem. The Muslims should show their love for Mohamed SAW with self improvement and self sacrifice instead of spreading evil in his holy name.
Otherwise the Muslims only prove the propaganda being pushed in such evil movies.
Just think about it!
