On 9/11, in response to an anti-Islam video that went viral on YouTube last week, Obama's Egyptian embassy released a statement deploring the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. This is beyond imagination: On 9/11, the anniversary of the attacks by radical Islamists on our nation, Islamic protestors compromised the U.S. embassy in Cairo, tearing the American flag to shreds to cries of We are Usama! and the Obama administration responds that our concern needs to be the hurt feelings of Muslims.
The administrations response in Libya was not much better, placing condemnation of denigrating religious beliefs over outrage at the killing of our ambassador and other diplomatic staff there. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a statement saying that while the United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others there is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.
Finally, on Wednesday morning, Obama condemned the outrageous attack. The entire administration response is noteworthy for being short on outrage over the blatant attacks against America in the name of Islam. Yet coming from this administration, the weak response should surprise no one.
In June 2009 Obama spoke in Cairo, Egypt, saying he wanted a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. But this is the part that gave us a clue of what was to come: I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear....

Rarely do this president and his administration acknowledge the obvious link between Islam and terrorism. Recall instead that his
Department of Homeland Security told law enforcement officials they should be alert for terrorist acts by violent rightwing extremists and Christian Identity Organizations.ping
