Egyptians Attack US Embassy Over Film Egyptian demonstrators climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy in Cairo today and took down the American flag and replaced it with a black flag to protest a U.S. movie reportedly tied to Pastor Terry Jones that they believe insults the Prophet Muhammad. There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is Allah's messenger. We will sacrifice ourselves for you, Allah's messenger," the nearly 2,000 protesters chanted, according to Reuters. Dozens of protesters scaled the embassy walls and took down the flag from a pole in the courtyard. After failing to burn it, they ripped it apart and replaced it with a black flag bearing Arabic writing. Reports that the black flag was from al Qaeda were not confirmed. Victoria Nuland, a State Department spokeswoman, said today the U.S. was working with Egyptian security to restore order. "This came up pretty quickly," she said. [It was a] relatively modest group of people and the Egyptian security was caught off guard. David Linfield, an embassy spokesman, said that no guns were involved. "No one fired," he said. According to The Atlantic and Egyptian media, the movie is called "Mohammed, Prophet of the Muslims" and was produced by Jones, the controversial Florida preacher whose Koran burning in March 2011 led to the deadly violence in Afghanistan. Jones today said in a statement that the film was actually titled "Innocence of Muslims" and was intended not to attack Muslims but to show the "destructive ideology of Islam." "The movie further reveals in a satirical fashion the life of Muhammad," he said. " Egyptian media also reported that two Egyptians from the Christian minority Coptic group had helped with the movie. Clips in Arabic and English have been released on YouTube. In a statement, the U.S. Embassy said it condemned "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims." The Associated Press contributed to this article.
