"We consistently stand up for Muslims around the world and talk abt how Islam is a wonderful religion."
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo released the following statement hours before protesters stormed the embassy building:(bolding is mine)
"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."
In a tweet from the embassy that was later deleted, the U.S. embassy in Cairo tweeted:
"We consistently stand up for Muslims around the world and talk abt how Islam is a wonderful religion."
(EDIT and comment by kristinn: The embassy’s Tweet praising Islam as "wonderful" was taken down around 3 or 4 p.m. EDT. A screen grab was not made as far as I know, but someone on Twitter retweeted the message questioning the judgment of the embassy.)
(I personally saw the embassy’s statement before it was deleted. It was made in the context of a Twitter discussion between the embassy and an Arabic speaking Muslim who was saying violence was justified over the alleged anti-Islam film.)

Islam is the root, terrorism and oppression are its fruits.
AMEN to that!
He did make a statement condemming the Cario attacks.
Thanks...I saw the thread (I think?) a long time after I asked the question.
He needs to go further, get some ads out quick detailing Obama’s disastrous policies in the Mid-East, and get his terrible foreign policy front and center in the campaign.
Just hoping he can win on the poor economy is poor strategy.

I found the context of that statement made by our embassy. It’s still on the other person’s (recipient) Twitter. Post #70 about the 5th line from the bottom.
Hmmmmm
Well the Muslims have removed all doubt who they really are in Cario by that hugh gathering at the embassy.
Correction, “hugh rally”.
And the members of this wonderful religion have now murdered the U.S. Ambassador to Libya.
I guess president wonderful can cross proficient in “foreign policy” off of his resume. Can leave in “likes to play golf” at the bottom.
“We consistently stand up for Muslims Round the world and talk about how Islam is a wonderful religion.”
I’m Barack HUSSEIN Obama and I approve this message.
this is Obama’s and Hillary’s baby.they had to know what was going on over there..Supporting Muslim Brotherhood is anti American.
My big question is why is no one in government stopping Obama dictatorship..He is by passing congress and dictating everything.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
