USS ENTERPRISE, At Sea– Career decisions are one of many things a Sailor thinks or has questions about about before re-enlisting or moving to another command. As the Navy’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier nears the end of its final deployment, Sailors aboard USS Enterprise (CVN 65) also have a lot of questions; and who better to answer those questions than the Command Career Counselors Office.

“Innocence of Muslims,” incited a wave of bloody anti-American violence in Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Yemen and in several other countries. The imam said it was the UN’s responsibility to “protect world peace from any threat or aggression,” so that “these dangerous events cannot recur.” He also called on “Egyptians in these trying times (to show) wisdom and restraint,” condemning the targeting of innocent people and underlining the need to protect foreign diplomatic missions. Tens of thousands of people across the Islamic world on Friday staged anti-American protests against the film, which portrays Muslims as immoral and gratuitously violent.
CAIRO - Egypt’s top Muslim cleric on Saturday called for an international ban on all forms of attacks against Islam, after a provocative film sparked violent protests in the Middle East and North Africa. Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb, grand imam of Cairo’s Al-Azhar, the highest seat of Sunni Muslim learning, underlined “the need for an international resolution (banning) any attack on Muslim religious symbols,” in a statement addressed to UN leader Ban Ki-moon and published by official news agency MENA. The resolution should “criminalise attacks on Islamic symbols and on those of other religions, after the violence against those who provoked challenges to world peace and international security,” said Tayyeb. A low-budget film produced in the United States,

“The parliament of Yemen strongly rejects any foreign military presence on the Yemeni soil, whether big or small platoon, under any pretext,” the Yemeni parliament said in a statement carried by the state-run Saba news agency. “Securing the U.S. embassy is the duty of the Yemeni government only, and we demand the immediate departure of the U.S. Marine force from Sanaa,” said the parliament. On Friday, the Pentagon said a force of Marines had arrived in Sanaa to bolster security at the embassy after the attack. Sources from the Yemeni Defense Ministry confirmed about 100 Marines have arrived in Sanaa since Friday.
SANAA -- Yemeni parliament on Saturday demanded the departure of a platoon of Marines the Pentagon sent to the Yemeni capital Sanaa after demonstrators stormed the U.S. embassy in protest of a film produced in the United States denigrating Prophet Muhammad. Four protesters were killed in Thursday’s attack at the U.S. embassy in Sanaa and 48 others were injured, including 10 Yemeni security soldiers guarding the compound, the Interior Ministry said on its website. No embassy staff was hurt, but further five protesters were wounded in Friday’s clashes, according to government officials. Security reinforcement and tanks were seen in the vicinity of the embassy on Saturday, as protests have faded out.

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said the killing this week of Ambassador Chris Stevens in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was “the best example” for those attacking embassies. It said protesters’ aim should be to “expel the embassies of America from the lands of the Muslims” and called on protests to continue in Muslim nations “to set the fires blazing at these embassies.”
CAIRO (AP) — Al-Qaeda’s branch in Yemen has praised the killing of the U.S. ambassador in Libya and called for more attacks to expel American embassies from Muslim nations. The statement, posted Saturday on Islamic militant websites, suggested al-Qaeda was trying to co-opt the wave of angry protests in the Muslim world over a film produced in the United States denigrating the Prophet Muhammad.
