1. As of this date I feel that these protests have very

little to do with the anti-Muslin film but are fuel by pro-terrorist group just to keep up the rhetoric. During the W's years these types of violent riots happened very often and I fear if there is (God forbid) a GOP administration, these won't be the last of these riots and strong possibility for another full blown war.
