Since the first protest in Cairo against the amateur hate video "Innocence of Muslims," MPAC staffers and leaders have been featured on dozens of media outlets around the world to share their perspectives on the protests, the violence, the video and much more.  

MPAC strongly condemns the attacks on the U.S. Embassies around the world, and we grieve along with the rest of our nation over the senseless deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, and at least a dozens protesters around the world.

Check out some of the media appearances MPAC's staff have made to discuss the ongoing events:
