U S Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement

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.The U.S. Embassy in Cairo released this statement condemning religious intolerance - particularly intolerance directed at Muslims - hours before Egyptian protestors attacked the embassy, destroying the American flag and replacing it with a black flag declaring "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger." The protesters were demonstrating against a U.S. film in development about Mohammad. The statement continues: 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. http://egypt.usembassy.gov/pr091112.htmlCHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: US EMBASSY SHOULD HAVE TOLD PROTESTERS IN EGYPT TO 'GO TO HELL'This zombie will be the 1st to jump at any"everybody has a right to express themselves"criticism of israelHe said, "That's a hostage statement. That's a mob of Al Qaeda sympathizers in Egypt, forcing the United States into making a statement essentially of apology, on 9/11 of all days, for something of which we are not responsible. I would issue a statement saying to the mob, 'go to hell.' The way America works, the way democracy works, is that everybody has a right to express themselves." The US Embassy in Libya was REPORTEDLY ALSO ATTACKED today as well. Juan Williams responded, "Ambassador Krauthammer [...] We would stir the wars and the anger in the Islamic community for what? To simply say, hey listen, we understand this may have been offensive to some Muslims - that's not by anyway backing down or an act of somehow cowardice on the part of the US government."LET'S DISCUSS MASS EXPULSION OF JEWS FROM USCAIRO EMBASSY ATTACKED!
