ust like not all Americans are like the people who made the weird anti-Islam movie that is sparking protests in Muslim nations, not all people in Libya are like the ones who killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens. Some of the people of Benghazi, where Stevens was killed, held a demonstration against terrorism and to show sympathy for the U.S. Libya Alhurra TV, an Internet TV channel founded at the start of the Arab Spring in 2011, posted Facebook photos of a rally there showing support for America and sympathy for Stevens. Here are some of those pictures:

Update: With the help from The Atlantic's multilingual Heather Horn and some Facebook commenters, we have a few translations of the Arabic signs.

Peace be upon the Libyan people, who have been victimized as much as we have by this senseless and barbaric act of terrorism. May we all see brighter days in the immediate future. And may the medieval psychopaths who perpetrated this act be hunted down like the animals they are.
Gaze upon my works, ye mighty, and despair...
