US ambassador killed over a film

A murderous lynch mob is a murderous lynch mob whether they amass in Cairo Illinois or Cairo Egypt. What was missing was the brave Lawman facing down the crowd explaining the need for "the rule of law" and due process (or Egyptian military in a pinch). The Libya thing was a gang of thugs (we call Al Queda), more like the religiously oriented Ku Klux Klan groups...

Absolutely. The difference between the radicals in volatile middle east countries and radicals in the US is that the US actually has the ability and motivation to squash violent radical activities. Thugs like this do exist in the US (Stormfront for example - not going to link there), but they can't/won't actually act on their threats of violence due to the fact that the US will put them in prison.

Stuff like this can happen in the US, like during the LA riots back in the 90's. Admittedly this wasn't religiously motivated, but it was racially motivated which is a pretty decent equivalent.
