why killing the ambassador

by Anonyme - 12/09/2012 - 19:52

It is sad to hear that fighters of Islam attacked and killed the America ambassador to Libya for a crime he never committed. Who are they fighting for Allah or prophet Mohammed? . I think they are getting it all wrong simply because it make no sense to fight for god who has all the powers to punish and bless any persons.
