Sam Bacile Anti-Islam Video Called "Disgusting" By Hillary Clinton

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is sharpening her criticism of an anti-Islam video by Sam Bacile that provoked protests in the Arab world. Clinton says the YouTube film, titled Muhammad , is “disgusting and reprehensible” and termed it a cynical attempt to offend people for religious beliefs. Hillary noted, however, that the U.S. would never stop Americans from expressing their views, no matter how distasteful, as they are central to freedom. Muhammad Movie Trailer Sam Bacile, who reports say is an Israeli-American real estate developer, posted the trailer this summer. Little is known about the man; he’s gone into hiding. She also says the film is no justification for violence or attacks on diplomatic facilities and personnel; a U.S. ambassador was killed in Libya Tuesday. Clinton said Thursday the U.S. is monitoring protests in Yemen and elsewhere, urging countries to take steps to prevent protests escalating into violence.

Chavez threatens to nationalize Venezuelan banks

CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday he could nationalize private banks unless they comply with the law, adding he had “no problem with that because the banks don't want to extend credit to the poor.” In a broadcast from nationalized farmland in central Venezuela, he said: “To all the country's private bankers … (I'm saying) he who slips up loses; I'll take over the bank, whatever its size.” “You want me to nationalize the banks?” he said during the broadcast of his weekly TV show “Alo Presidente.” “I have no problem with that because the banks don't want to extend credit to the poor, they don't comply, they don't want to comply with the bank's purpose for existence, and that is the law.” Chavez said the purpose of banks was not to enrich a small group of people but “should be to collect funds and savings to help aid the country's development by making loans, extending credits for housing.” In power for a decade, Chavez has nationalized broad swathes of the economy.
