U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement
September 11, 2012
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
Why should Americans curtail an inalienable right enshrined in the Constitution to placate a mob that violated our Embassy and destroyed our property? Their actions are in no way legitimized or justified because a private US citizen exercised the right of free speech. The mob demands that the movie be confiscated and never shown again.
We should be condemning the mob, not the "abuse" of free speech.
“We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others”
Craven national suicide as express American foreign policy ...
Incredible.
The `religion of peace’ is emboldened every day by this administration.
