Egyptian protesters raise inside the US embassy a black flag inscribed with the Muslim profession of belief: “There is no God but God and Mohammed is the prophet of God” during a protest against a film deemed offensive to Islam in Cairo on September 11, 2012. Thousands of Egyptian demonstrators angered by the film produced by expatriate members of Egypt’s Christian minority resident in the United States, tore down the US flag during the protest at the embassy.

The protesters — up to 2,000 of them — were reportedly upset about some crappy anti-Islamic movie produced by Florida pastor Terry Jones, of Koran-burning fame. Hey, Egyptians: We hate Terry Jones, too! Please stop lighting our stuff on fire!
