The controversial Innocent Muslims movie lead into anger all
over the Islamic countries including Yemen. Thousands of Yemenis stormed the US
embassy on September 13 and 14.
Over 4 civilians were killed on the streets near the US
embassy in Sana’a after some or protesters broke into the Embassy and looted
what they found available. This move incited the US administration to dispatch
some more US marines to protect the embassy.
However it seems that the controversial Innocent Muslims
movie produced in USA is going to hurt relations between Yemen and USA.
The Yemeni Parliament called
the American forces to leave the country immediately, after about 150 from the
American Marines forces arrived to Sana’a after angry demonstrators stormed and looted the US embassy in protest
over American-Israeli film deemed abusive to Islam and prophet Mohamed.
"We do not accept any foreign
forces in Yemen, be it small or big forces, and for any reason," said a
statement by the Parliament on Saturday. The Parliament asked the government to
protect all foreign missions in Yemen. The statement condemned the anti-Islam
film ( the Innocence of Muslims) and called
for putting the film makers on
trial.
Meanwhile, Al Qaeda in the Arabian
Peninsula called Muslims to kill more American diplomats saying that the film
was only a new chapter of a Crusade war on Islam. " Follow the example
of the Libyans, grandsons of Omar Al
Mukhtar," said the statement in a clear reference to the killing of
American ambassador in Libya last week.
Four people were killed and 48 other
injured including 10 soldiers last Thursday when angry protester stormed the US
embassy in Sana’a. 61 cars were completely damaged, and 13 were burnt and one
was stolen.
One of those killed was buried on
Saturday in Sana’a and his father said during the funeral that the America
Marines killed his son. This would create additional anti-American
sentiment.
