CAIRO (AP) - Calm is returning today to most cities around the Muslim world a day after at least six people were killed in a wave of angry protests over an anti-Islam film.

Egyptian police have cleared out protesters who have been clashing with security forces for the past four days near the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

Security forces erected a concrete wall blocking the main street leading to the embassy in Cairo after finally dispersing several hundred youths who had been battling with police, trying to get to the building. They also cleared nearby Tahrir Square where protests were being held.

Riot police in Sydney, Australia used pepper spray as they clashed today with about 200 protesters.

Muslims angry over the film produced in the U.S. took the streets yesterday in more than 20 countries from the Mideast to Southeast Asia.

The following story is an example of what is happening with these types of MUSLIM 'protesters' and countries.. ONLY, these people in this news have been 'duped' by the OUTDATED RE-written version of the Koran. Duped by their own leaders. Now the 'natives are restless' and tired of those who who fail them daily with out moral leadership.. So they want to blame the U.S. not themselves or their leaders. (The KORAN I am talking about was published and preversly twisted to teach a whole generations of their very young children, NOT about a loving GOD, but about the 'American infidel devil' who HAS to be killed.) THEY ONLY KNOW WHAT THEIR LEADERS FORCED THEM TO KNOW,THINK,LEARN...(a lot like Obama is doing to us now, heh?). (Trying make the common unknowing citizen BELIEVE and THINK all his 'idealogies' are for the 'greater good'...they are not.) It is all 'corn' for us 'pigs' and just because we TRUST SOMEONE, doesn't mean we should. We too shall soon feel restless, and turn on each other. ONLY because of leadership that is NOT working. NOT because we the American people 'hate' each other. WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE, know when someone is TRYING to make us hate each other. WE the AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SMARTER than that, We the American people BUILT the White house, it's ours, not those we sorely elect. I don't know about anyone else but people and leaders who smile in my face while telling out right lies, "SCARE the 'stupid' out of me real straight". I feel sorry for ANY Nation that is DUPED with 'corn' or whatever, but if I were a 'leader'..I WOULD MAKE SURE THESE COUNTRIES, KNOW I WOULD, CUT OFF ALL AIDE, MONEY, ETC..AND WILL BOMB THE H3LL OUT OF THEM IF THEY COMMIT ONE MORE MURDER UNDER THE RUSE OF 'RELIGION' OR TAKE ONE MORE INNOCENT AMERICAN LIFE WHO ARE OUT THERE IN THIS WORLD TRYING TO MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL. And make darn sure when you commit murder here in this Country your life and freedom's are over. Please read:

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man(exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government. In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, so you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity." The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to

America .. He said,"The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, free medical, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms - just a little at a time." One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! Also, politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends.... If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life then you will probably delete this email, but God help you and your family when the gate slams shut! 'A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have.' .... Thomas Jefferson

WHY I WILL VOTE Republican in Nov. A Democratic controlled congress and senate passed a bill that they had not read, and exempted themselves from it. It turns out that is was the largest TAX INCREASE in the HISTORY of our country!!! And, a Republican President isn't going to go around apologizing to these nit-wit muslims!!!
