U.S. Embassy calls out Muslim Brotherhood for conflicting tweets

The U.S. called out the Muslim Brotherhood for apparently tweeting a different set of messages—a kind one in English, and one in Arabic with a different tone—as demonstrators and security forces were battling outside the embassy in Cairo.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language Twitter account (@Ikhwanweb) retweeted a message from deputy head Khairat el-Shater saying he was “relieved none of @USEmbassyCairo staff was harmed” and hoped U.S.-Egypt relations “will sustain [the] turbulence of Tuesday’s events.”

However, according to ahramonline.com, the Brotherhood’s Arabic-language Twitter account and its website were praising the protests staged against a U.S.-made film that some Muslims deem insulting to the Prophet Muhammad. The Brotherhood’s messages also called for a million-man march on Friday.

That prompted an interesting response from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo: “Thanks. By the way, have you checked out your own Arabic feeds? I hope you know we read those too.”

Embassy grounds are considered property and soverign territory of the nation they represent, not territory of the host nation.
These so-called “protestors” invaded another nation and commited acts of violence therein.
That’s generally considered an act of war.
Let them try this at the Soviet or Red Chinese embassy.
Well that’s the difference friend, they won’t stand for it. Hard to accept them and explain to them a catholic point of view when they try to kill us.
