Muslim-Americans: Anti-Islam Film, Violent Protests Not Justified
Many Muslims in the United States have been closely following news reports of protests in the Middle East and the anti-Muslim film that sparked the unrest.
From Los Angeles to New York, Muslim-Americans have been reflecting on what has happened in the Middle East and what caused the violence and protests.
Mustafa from New York says he does not approve of the protesters’ actions.
“I don’t like the reaction people who went to the consulate and burn it up, or fire there - but to go and just talk, in peace, and to talk or say you are angry is normal,” he said.
Many Muslims including Suraiya in the United States don’t approve of the film that sparked the the demonstrations.
“They shouldn’t go to that extent to make videos and attack someone like that,” said Suraiya. “I mean, of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but that is a hate video and hate videos - they should be punished for what they did.”
