Protesters climb U.S. Embassy walls in Cairo
[Updated at 5:38 p.m. ET]Â Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and tore down the American flag, apparently in protest of a film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed.
A volley of warning shots were fired as a large crowd gathered around the compound, said CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene, though it is not clear who fired the shots.
Egyptian police and army personnel have since formed defensive lines around the facility in an effort to prevent the demonstrators from advancing farther, but not before the protesters affixed their standard atop the embassy.
The black flag, which hangs atop a ladder inside the compound, is adorned with white characters that read, "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger," an emblem often used in al Qaeda propaganda.
It was unclear which film upset the protesters.

Humm... The Religion of "Peace" acting in violence again. Islam... so called "Religion of Peace" HA!
Why did we not shoot them? The Embassy is our land according to the UN laws.
I would have open fire
Pause a moment, reflect
back.
These events are actual events from
history..
They really happened!!!
Do
you remember?
1. In1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed
by a Muslim male.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics,
athletes were kidnapped and massacred

by Muslim males.
4. In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed
in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it
was attacked with grenades
by Muslim males.
5. In 1979, the US embassy
in Iran was taken over
by Muslim males.
6. During the 1980's a number of Americans
were kidnapped in Lebanon
by Muslim males.
7 In 1983, the US Marine barracks
in Beirut was blown up
by Muslim males.
8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked

15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl
was kidnapped and beheaded by-

No, I really don't
see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure
we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent
on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to profile certain people...
Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of
80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, secret agents who are members of the President's
security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and
Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but
leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of
profiling.
Have the American People
completely lost their Minds,
or just their Power of Reason???
Well stated Dean. No pattern at all, and for that, they are a peaceful people following the peaceful teachings of Islam.
You're quite picky with your facts aren't you? How about Operation Gladeo, where a stay behind NATO force after WWII to orchestrate hundreds of terrorist attack to blame on communists and other left wing groups. DECLASSIFIED, look it up. How about the CIA sponsored coup in Iran in 1953 that overthrew their legitimately elected government? How about dozens of interventions in South America that resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians. You want to know who the the real terrorists are? Factions of US, Israeli, French, and British intelligence run by a global corporate oligarchy.
Our muslim brotherhood President has put his people in power all over the middle east, has financed the war against America with American taxpayer money, and loves what is happening. The fact that no one was shot and killed for invading American territory says it all. This is exactly what obama wants in America, muslims overthrowing the country.
realetybytes
well said
I see lets just get out the guns and kill people for protesting about america. Like at Kent State
WRONG!! BUSH started the wars numbnuts!!
Mmm yeah cause an international incident is just what we need
Look at the lizards crawling on the rocks!!! mindless barbarians
If the Muslims hate us so much and Egypt is protesting and trying to tear apart our embassy.Why not tell them to go to hell and cut off all diplomatic relations and all money given to them. Theres not one thing that the middle east has that we need.
order the marines guarding these posts to shoot to kill. No further issues and the world will be that much safter without those animals
Religion is sickening.......
your a joke
Perhaps if the females did not insist on paying for their own ticket to the film, this incident could have been avoided
Time for desparate Romney to blame Obama: "Obama should have been personally guarding the wall. The fact President Obama did not shoot anyone shows a lack of leadership."
LOL
Why isn't Romney there guarding the wall, he and Ryan are members of the NRA right?
Wow. We support your freedom from your dictator and this is how we are repaid? You just made a big mistake.
The muslim brotherhood in action....what else is new?
We should have Marines manning mini-guns on the walls and mowing down anyone attempting to cross sovereign US Territory.
How long do you think those marines would last?
Egypt people couldn't tell beteen film and reality
Why is Obama refusing to meet with the leader of Israel? Disgusting.
Maybe becuse the world does not resolve around them?
