U.S. Embassy Reaffirms U.S. Respect for Islam (Obama Condemns 1st Amend. Protected Koran Burning)
U.S. Embassy in Kabul ^ | Monday, September 6, 2010

Posted on 09/06/2010 10:20:39 AM PDT by kristinn

The United States government in no way condones such acts of disrespect against the religion of Islam, and is deeply concerned about deliberate attempts to offend members of religious or ethnic groups.

The embassy wants to emphasize that we strongly condemn the offensive messages, which are contrary to U.S. government policy and deeply offensive to Muslims especially during the month of Ramadan.

President Obama made clear in Cairo in his speech on June 4, 2009 that he considers it part of his responsibility as President to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they occur. And during his recent Iftar speech at the White House he said: “Let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.”

Americans from all religious and ethnic backgrounds reject the offensive initiative by this small group in Florida. A great number of American voices are protesting the hurtful statements made by this organization. Numerous interfaith and religious groups in America are actively working to counter this kind of ignorance and misinformation that is offensive to so many people in the U.S. and around the world.

Just a few days ago, President Obama’s Special Envoy to the OIC, Rashad Hussain visited Afghanistan, reaching out to political leaders, religious leaders, students and all citizens of Afghanistan, communicating the important message of friendship, cooperation and mutual understanding between the U.S. and Muslim communities all around the world.

Obama is in violation of his oath of office. His job is to protect the U.S. Constitution and to faithfully execute the law. A responsibility to fight negative stereotypes of Muslims is not part of the president's job description.

The Koran burning protest is none of the federal government's business. The best thing Obama could have done is educate the ummah about the First Amendment while saying he personally disagrees with the Koran burning and how the American system works to prevent religious bloodshed--even when religions offend one another. The same goes for Gen. Petraeus.

The US is involved in an existential struggle against all of Islam. The sooner we start acting like it, the better.

Burning a few Korans is a good start.

Is Obama going to send Federal officers to enforce against the public display of this Koran burnout?

I am sure local authorities will realize they have no hope at all of stopping it.

The people of America won’t be silenced, they will burn the Koran all across the country, and Obama is powerless to stop it.

Meanwhile the Ground Zero Mosque continues to be fast tracked.

I guess tolerance and respect are one way streets with oncoming traffic.

For the UNknowing, the UNaware and the wary,

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

The sooner America learns this , the better. Some know and many do not, but it is a threat to everything America knows.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

When Obama gets all worked up about a small church in Florida, it tells me that Obama’s regime is coming apart big time.

It is unbelievable that a church with 50 members has the Obama Administration in major crisis mode!!!!

Obama is a buffoon and his actions against the 50 member church only embolden the Muslims to push their brother even more!!!!!
