I'm sure they know though, that those who they have scared away use the tactics of cowards for reprisal. They had better be aware and stand ready to defend their democracy.

BENGHAZI, Libya — Hundreds of protesters stormed the compound of one of Libya’s strongest armed Islamic extremist groups Friday, evicting militiamen and setting fire to their building as the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans sparked a public backlash against armed groups that run rampant in the country and defy the country’s new, post-Moammar Gadhafi leadership.

Armed men at the administrative center for the Ansar al-Shariah militia, suspected to have led the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Benghazi consulate, first fired in the air to disperse the crowd, but eventually withdrew from the site with their weapons and vehicles after it was surrounded by waves of protesters shouting “No to militias.”

“I don’t want to see armed men wearing Afghani-style clothes stopping me in the street to give me orders, I only want to see people in uniform,” said Omar Mohammed, a university student who took part in the takeover, which protesters said was done in support of the army and police.

No deaths were reported in the incident, which came after tens of thousands marched in Benghazi in a rally against armed militias. A vehicle was also burned at the compound, which was taken over by Libyan security forces after its occupants fled.

How to convince my fox watching mother that they all don't hate us?

convince her, you will enjoy a good meal.

Most of these people like your mother, dislike the idea that's been planted in their heads but I bet she has never met someone of the Muslim faith, let alone had a conversation with one.

Anything she says that goes again Jesus, just ask her that.

"Who would Jesus stereotype?"

They spent all last week saying that Obama failed in his foreign policy and now this. How are they going to spin this

"Welll....well...you see they are storming the islamic HQ but islamic extremism is still spreading in that region"

The impression that Libya is full of radical Islamists needs tempering.

These are the people who rose up against Gaddafi, not the islamists who are a minority.

Not sure which one will be locked. Probably the other one since the title is pro-Libyan.
