Reportedly, the protest was organized by "Muslim Group for Peace.". An oxymoron in there somewhere.

Kill everyone that does not follow their beliefs and then there will be peace.

I'm tired of my country apologizing. They should be ordering air strikes against the scum who did this in Libya.

The irony is that the clown behind the movie is Egyptian. He just happens to reside in the US.

Producer of inflammatory anti-Islam film arrested, ordered held without bail

I am left thinking that the only way to solve this problem is for all western media to have a several month free for all. During this period every photo and video of Mohammed should be played on international TV and images and cartoons printed in papers. The zealots and flag burners would be so enraged they would be running round in ever decreasing circles of anger and hatred, just not knowing who to attack and blame next (like a child in a shop full of their favourite sweets being told 'pick one' ) and eventually they will all either run out of holy energy or disappear in a ball of smoke up their own angry <deleted>. Then there would be...silence...and peace balance and harmony! Worth a try anyway before the nukes all start flying

It's an interesting idea to have a free for all, but these are people who aren't known for taking care in who they target.

I don't think Iranians like homosexuals too much . . .

A joke by the satirical newspaper The Onion appears to have gotten lost in translation.

An Iranian news agency picked up — as fact — a story from the paper about a supposed survey showing an overwhelming majority of rural white Americans would rather vote for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than President Barack Obama. But it was made up, like everything in the just-for-laughs newspaper, which is headquartered in Chicago.

The English-language service of Iran's semiofficial Fars news agency republished the story Friday, several days after it appeared in The Onion.

The Iranian version copied the original word-for-word, even including a made-up quote from a fictional West Virginia resident who says he'd rather go to a baseball game with Ahmadinejad because "he takes national defense seriously, and he'd never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does."

Homosexual acts are punishable by death in Iran, and Ahmadinejad famously said during a 2007 appearance at Columbia University that "in Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."

The Iranian version of the article leaves out only The Onion's description of Ahmadinejad as "a man who has repeatedly denied the Holocaust and has had numerous political prisoners executed."

The article was featured prominently on the Fars website alongside its usual fare of stories about advances in Iranian military technology, condemnation of Israel and Iran's nuclear program. The story appeared to have been taken down by about mid-day, Chicago time.

Calls to Fars representatives were not answered Friday.

The Onion reveled in the fact that it had been taken seriously.

Onion editor Will Tracy put out a tongue-in-cheek statement that referred to Fars as "a subsidiary of The Onion" that has acted as the paper's Middle Eastern bureau since it was founded in the mid-1980s by Onion publisher T. Herman Zweibel.

"The Onion freely shares content with Fars and commends the journalists at Iran's Finest News Source on their superb reportage," Tracy said in jest.

It's not the first time a foreign news outlet has been duped by The Onion. In 2002, the Beijing Evening News, one of the Chinese capital's biggest newspapers, picked up a story from The Onion that claimed members of Congress were threatening to leave Washington unless the building underwent a makeover that included more bathrooms and a retractable dome.
