I agree with you, Soul_Khan, we also must condemn violent action. Just because some idiot decides to go and make a controversial movie does not mean that an attack on other innocent people are justified.
It's also symptomatic of the fact that of all the religions, Islam is the one that tends to overreact dramatically to any (perceived) slight, which makes freedom of speech a mockery.
I wouldn't be offended enough to go murdering people (much less people who have ZERO association with the actual movie apart from the fact that they might share a nationality)
I think we need to keep in mind as well that this is a tiny minority if Muslims. The attack on the embassy was almost certainly pre-planned and it did in-fact occur on September 11 local time. We know Libya was awash with arms and rivaling fractions after the civil war. So, we should almost certainly look at this particular event in a different light.
Hell, if you believe that this is simply a result of the so called trailer after informing yourself about the situation, you've got as big rocks in your head as some of the people who result to violence simply because they were offended. It's clear the attack on the embassy and the death of the ambassador just wasn't over the movie though.
Everyone is ignoring the obvious
geopolitical dimensions here or haven't even bothered to fully inform themselves (bit of an irony then hey).
People hated the USA way before this film came out. Now is just a convenient time.

The US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three staff members at the US consulate in Benghazi were deliberately murdered Tuesday night Sept 11 just after memorial ceremonies were held in America for the victims of the 9/11 outrage. debkafile’s counter-terror sources report exclusively that far from being a spontaneous raid by angry Islamists, it was a professionally executed terrorist operation by a professional Al Qaeda assassination team, whose 20 members acted under the orders of their leader Ayman al Zawahri after special training. They were all Libyans, freed last year from prisons where they were serving sentences for terrorism passed during the late Muammar Qaddafi’s rule.
In a video tape released a few hours before the attack, Zawahri called on the faithful to take revenge on the United States for liquidating one of the organization’s top operatives, Libyan-born Abu Yahya al-Libi in June by a US drone in northwestern Pakistan.
Its release was the “go” signal for the hit team to attack the US diplomats in Benghazi.
To mask their mission, they stormed the consulate on the back of a violent protest by hundreds of Islamists against a film said to insult Prophet Muhammed produced by a Florida real estate agent called Sam Bacile, who has been described as of Israeli origin.
