I know. You have a sick tendency for watching bad movies 
Of course this movie could have been used as an excuse for an other or entirly different reason. Regardless, it being the reason or being used as an excuse, it's obviously an integral part of the discussion.
Wasn't it? I specially like the part with the formula about man and terrorists 
Yemeni protesters storm U.S. embassy in Sanaa: witnesses
(Reuters) - Hundreds of Yemeni demonstrators stormed the U.S. embassy in Sanaa on Thursday in protest at a film they consider blasphemous to Islam, and security guards tried to hold them off by firing into the air.
The attack followed Tuesday night's storming of the United States Consulate in Benghazi, where the ambassador and three other staff were killed. President Barack Obama said the perpetrators would be tracked down and ordered two destroyers to the Libyan coast, but there were fears protests would spread to other countries in the Muslim world.
Young demonstrators shouting "we redeem, Messenger of God" smashed windows of the security offices outside the embassy with stones and burned cars before breaking through the main gate of the heavily fortified compound in eastern Sanaa. Others held aloft banners declaring 'Allah is Greatest'.
Tyres blazed outside the compound and protesters scaled the walls.
"We can see a fire inside the compound and security forces are firing in the air. The demonstrators are fleeing and then charging back," one witness told Reuters.
Witnesses said there were some injuries on both sides but gave no exact figures.
Yemen, a key U.S. ally, is home of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which is viewed by Washington as the most dangerous branch of the militant network established by Osama bin Laden.
Yemen is fighting an al Qaeda-backed insurrection largely in the south of the country.

and countries like egypt get financial aids from the US as part of the camp david treaty so its not out of pity.
i dont know if you are aware of this or not, but the financial aid the US sends is'nt just money, and even the money part of it never see's the light at least during the previous regimes era, so in all honesty its worth nothing to these people and countries like egypt get financial aids from the US as part of the camp david treaty so its not out of pity.
