Google "Ansar al-Sharia Libya" and you will see accounts where they were the first to be blamed. They attempted, in vein, to set up an islamist state in Eastern Libya, and the Libyan people distrust them immensely.
If you have evidence is was some other group I'd be interested in hearing it. Their flags flew during the attacks on the embassy and they are at minimum partially responsible.
This is the beginning of the end of islamist elements in Libya, that much is sure, whether they claimed responsibility (a joke, given that their HQ are in Benghazi) or were "blamed" is immaterial. It proves that the revolutionaries are not islamist in nature as you and others have claimed.
