Clinton Vows to Reach Out to Islamic World
By Glenn Kessler Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, February 17, 2009; 10:02 AM
TOKYO, Feb. 17 -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the Obama administration will make "a concerted effort" to restore the image of the United States in the Islamic world and will seek to "enlist the help of Muslims around the world against the extremists."
Clinton, who on Wednesday will travel to Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, told students at Tokyo University that "this is one of the central security challenges we face -- as to how to better communicate in a way that gets through the rhetoric and through the demagogy and is heard by people who can make judgments about what we stand for and who we truly are."
Clinton's remarks came in response to a question about the "prejudice" in the United States against Muslims because of terrorism, a term she rejected forcefully, pointing to the history of Christians. "I am a Christian," she said. "Through the centuries we have had many people who have done terrible things in the name of Christianity. They have perverted the religion."

"Through the centuries we have had many people who have done terrible things in the name of Christianity. They have perverted the religion." Like her husband carrying around a big prop bible and then getting a blow job on Easter Sunday from a teenaged college intern?

Visions of Bill and Hill carrying the massive family Bible to Foundry Methodist every Sunday (during election cycles) come to mind

"Through the centuries we have had many people who have done terrible things in the name of Christianity. They have perverted the religion."I hope there's an audio of this somewhere? Did she happen to mention the terrible things done in the name of Islam, and how terrorists perverted that "religion?" Because that's the usual bs line, and this new comment is a quantum jump in the pc rhetoric. We don't usually hear such blatant crap from establishment types like Clinton.

WHY, oh, why can’t we get rid of the Clintons!!!??

But he said Clinton did not make clear statements in response to the family members' request to put North Korea back on the terror list. Rotsa ruck.
To: Sub-Driver
Sure. Apologizing for being Christian Crusaders is going to go over big with the Muslims, as Drudge's photo of Indonesian Muslim women suggests:
The usual response when you apologize to Muslims for defending yourself is that they spit in your face, as here.

Dear Muslims,
We’re so sorry we liberated you in Kuwait and Iraq. We know you miss Saddam. The US wasn’t around during the Crusades, but we’re sorry for that too.
Love,
Hilary

"I am a Christian," she said. "Through the centuries we have had many people who have done terrible things in the name of Christianity. They have perverted the religion." How many people in poverty have been fed and clothed because of the work of Christians?
How many children in poverty have been educated because of the work of Christians?
How many slaves were freed because of the works of Christians?
How many orphans found homes because of the works of Christians?
I'm really tired of this constant mea culpa about Christianity. This world is a far better place because of Christians.
